FAQs

These sessions are held at a large oval in Terry Hills, 2084. We use this location as it is often quiet and has an under cover area we can use during rainy or sunny days.

We accept puppies starting from 10 weeks of age up to 5 months. Your vet may recommend you wait till your pup is fully vaccinated before allowing them outside, however we believe the risks of late training and socialisation pose a greater risk than the low chance of your pup contracting Parvovirus. In saying this, we suggest you do your own research and decide for yourself what age you would like to start training as Dogs At Work don’t take any responsibility for anything your pup may contract during their time with us.

All you need is your pup, a collar/harness and a leash! We recommend bringing your dogs regular meal time food with you but don’t worry if you forget as our trainers will have some with them for the session.

As this is a Private Puppy Program the days are flexible to your schedule. Book in a time with our trainer according to your schedule. Each week can be either the same or different time, whatever works best for you!

As the oval we train at has a shaded area, training will continue on as per usual.
