Whether you live in the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches, or Western Sydney, our structured programs give your puppy the right start for life in Australia’s biggest city.

From puppy preschool classes to in-home puppy training and long-term behavioural support, our goal is to help your dog thrive in every Sydney environment — beaches, parks, apartments, busy streets, and family homes.

Why Puppy Training in Sydney Matters

Sydney is one of the most dog-friendly cities in Australia, with hundreds of off-leash parks, coastal walks, and dog beaches. But it also comes with unique challenges — crowded streets, apartment living, traffic, and lots of distractions.

Without the right training, many Sydney puppies struggle with:

• Fear of loud noises, traffic, or busy public spaces
• Poor recall in off-leash parks and beaches
• Jumping up on people in cafés or outdoor areas
• Separation anxiety in apartments
• Over-excitement around other dogs
• Barking in high-density living

Our Sydney puppy school programs are designed to build confidence, socialisation, and obedience from day one — so your dog can enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Our Sydney Puppy Training Programs

Pre-Puppy Program (0 – 8 Weeks)

Before your puppy even comes home, we help you prepare. This program covers:

• Setting up your Sydney home or apartment for a puppy
• Choosing the right breed for city living
• Puppy supplies you actually need
• Creating a daily schedule that suits your lifestyle
• Early toilet training and boundary setting
• Socialisation planning for parks, beaches, and busy areas

Getting it right before your puppy arrives prevents many of the mistakes Sydney families commonly make.

Puppy School Sydney (8 – 16 Weeks)

The socialisation window (8–16 weeks) is the most important period in your puppy’s development. Our Sydney puppy school classes are small (8–10 puppies per class) to balance effective socialisation with individual guidance.

Your puppy will learn:

• Socialisation with other dogs, people, and environments
• Basic obedience (sit, drop, come, loose-lead walking)
• Recall foundations for safe off-leash play
• Confidence around distractions like kids, bikes, joggers, and traffic
• Staying calm in busy Sydney environments
• Appropriate play behaviour

By the end of puppy school, your pup will be well on the way to becoming a confident, well-mannered companion.

Post Puppy Training Sydney (16 – 52 Weeks)

When adolescence hits (around 16 weeks), even the best-behaved puppies can become stubborn or distracted. This is when many behavioural issues appear. Our post-puppy training program includes group sessions and ongoing support to help you through this phase.

We cover:

• Advanced recall and off-lead walking for Sydney parks and beaches
• Reducing barking in apartments and high-density areas
• Preventing jumping on strangers
• Managing separation anxiety
• Stopping chewing, biting, and destructive behaviour
• Controlling reactivity around other dogs and people

This stage ensures your puppy grows into a calm, confident adult dog.

Puppy Training Sydney FAQs

Is it just puppy school?
No, that is just part of the program. There are 3 stages to our puppy program from pre-puppy to post-puppy. This makes sure you get all the help you need.

What age should my puppy start puppy school in Sydney?
The best time is between 8–16 weeks of age. This is the critical socialisation window where your puppy learns to adapt to new people, dogs, and environments.

Can older puppies still benefit from training?
Yes! Puppies older than 16 weeks can still learn obedience, socialisation, and confidence-building. We offer post-puppy training programs designed specifically for adolescents (4–12 months).

How many classes does puppy school run for?
Our standard puppy school program runs for 4 weeks (once per week). Each class builds on the previous one, covering obedience, socialisation, and confidence training.

Do you offer in-home puppy training in Sydney?
Yes. For families who prefer personalised guidance, we provide in-home training sessions across Sydney. This is especially helpful for apartment living, toilet training, and early behaviour issues.

Can I enrol if I am not based in Sydney?
We have helped clients across the world with their puppies. Obviously, there are things we cannot do online but we still have a program that can be effective. To be an online member you need to be able to show you can sufficiently socialise your puppy without the aid of an in person puppy school.

How do I book Sydney puppy training?
Simply contact us through our website to secure your spot. Puppy school spots are limited to keep classes small and effective, so early booking is recommended.
