Dog Training Services
Whether you want help
training your puppy or adult dog, in your house or in our fully fenced
training centre, we can help you. All training is done using positive methods
- no force is used.
I have a Certificate IV
in Dog Behaviour and Management - the only nationally accredited dog training
qualification. I am also a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.
You can also find out more about me by clicking
here. I am currently training many dogs from pet dogs just wanting to
learn manners, to puppies attending puppy preschool, to competition agility
and obedience dogs. My own dogs compete
successfully in agility, obedience, sheep herding and the show ring. Have a
look at their web pages to see all the titles they have won.
In home training
If you can not get to any
classes for training, or do not want to travel to get help training your
dog, or just want to teach your dog some specific behaviours in your own
home, then we will come to you. You might want to teach your dog some basic
manners, eg do not jump up, toilet training, or to walk nicely on a lead.
You can get individual attention to any problems you might be experienceing.
Contact me for more details and prices.

We have set up two fully
fenced outdoor training areas, and one indoor training area. We have a
complete set of competition standard agility equipment.

Outdoor area 2 - 20m x 20m flat grassed area, with shade trees and 6
ft chain mesh fence, and fully enclosed indoor training hall - 15m x 5m.
Private training is available by appointment, and group lessons are run
on Fridays and some Saturdays - contact us for
more information and prices. Agility training is only run in dry
weather, but obedience training can run in any weather, including in the
evenings in our indoor training hall.
Puppy
Training
If your dog is under 6 months old
then he or she will benefit from puppy pre school. At puppy preschool
your puppy learns valuable socialising skills. He will learn to
socialise appropriately with other puppies of a variety of breeds,
colours and sizes. He will also learn to socialise with different people
and to accept all sorts of handling. By the end of our 5 week course he
will accept nail clipping, ear cleaning and grooming, as well being
handled by different people, and also being handled on a table (like at
the vets). We will teach you how to give your dog a tablet and how to
clip your puppies' nails, thus saving future vet visits for these simple
tasks. You will teach your puppy to sit, drop, stand, come and give up
valued objects and start teaching walking on a lead.
The local vets and dog training
clubs comment that they can tell which dogs that have attended puppy
preschool due to their good behaviour.
To attend puppy preschool your
puppy must have had his first vaccination at least two weeks prior.
Classes are held in our indoor training hall on a Thursday night 7pm -
8pm. It is a 5 week course and costs $40.00 |
