Puppy training classes
We organise and run a variety of training classes throughout the week at our training barn near Newtown.
On a Tuesday evening, we run our puppy training and socialisation classes. At busier times of the year, we organise additional puppy classes on other weekday evenings.
Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme classes
We also run the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme classes. These classes are for older puppies, adolescent and older dogs to work on their basic obedience and manners around people and other dogs.
We usually offer the Bronze and Silver Classes throughout the year, on a Monday evening. We offer Gold classes through the spring / Summer months, when we have access to the outdoor paddocks areas.
Dog sports / activity classes
We also run a range of dog sports or activity classes, for dogs and their guardians throughout the week, including scentwork classes, hoopers, rally obedience, canine fitness and gundog classes.
What happens if my dog doesn't settle in class?
Depending on their level of socialisation, experiences, breed, temperament, etc., some puppies and older dogs just do not cope in the class environment with people and dogs that they do not know.
If your dog is showing signs of stress, cannot settle by the end of your first session, or reacts to other dogs by barking and lunging, it would be much better to leave the group sessions for now and to look at either behavioural consultations or one to one training sessions instead.
