A Focused Group Class

Our 6-Week Dog Training Program is a structured group course designed to build a strong foundation of obedience, engagement, and communication. With a maximum of just 6 dogs per class, you’ll receive personalised coaching while benefiting from the valuable experience of training alongside other dogs in a supportive environment.

Over six weekly sessions, you’ll learn how to become a clear, fair, and consistent handler while teaching your dog the essential skills needed for everyday life. As your dog’s confidence and reliability grow, you’ll strengthen your relationship and develop a dog that is focused, responsive, and enjoyable to live with. For additional support with your dog’s behaviour and training needs, explore our 1 on 1 Dog Training and Dog Protection services.

This program is suitable for dogs aged 5 months and older and is ideal for owners looking to build a well-mannered companion with reliable everyday obedience while enjoying continued support both in and outside of class.
