Puppy Classes and Group Training
Puppy and group classes provide a great environment for learning whilst in the presence of other people and dogs.
Our classes
The skills and socialisation learnt in these classes will help with day-to-day tasks as well as set your dogs up for success going forward.
Puppy Socialisation Classes
- 1 hour class
- 8-14 weeks of age
Puppies have a critical socialisation period which unfortunately falls amongst vaccinations. We bring pups together in a safe environment to expose them to other pups and start learning crucial skills. Bring your questions along because you will also have the opportunity to talk to one of our experienced trainers about all things puppyhood!
Teen Pups Training Class
- 5 week course
- 4-18 months
Our super popular classes include general obedience and manners; what I believe are foundation behaviours that every dog should know. The group environment not only provides socialisation but also teaches your pups to listen and respond in these social environments.
$220
Games Based Training Class
- 6 week course
- All ages
In our games based training class we cover things like being calm, being close and managing distractions through the power of playing games. Designed for pups and dogs of all ages, although foundation training recommended. Fuelled by the Absolute Dogs academy, these mini-games are all useful in many ‘real-life’ situations.
$300
Pack Training Walk
This walk is available for dogs of all ages and breeds, and we cover a range of topics throughout the walk including leash manners, impulse control and redirection training in real time.
proper socialisation skills with other dogs while safely on leash.

If group classes don't suit, private training sessions and behavioural consults are available for pups and dogs of all ages!
