all levels and criteria can be found 'here'
Alternatively come on down to 13 Ballarat road on Sundays between 8am and 2pm or Wednesday and Thursdays between 6pm and 8pm so we can help you book using our computer system.
We have implemented this self-paced program so that you can meet the criteria for each level in your own time frame! with up to 8 classes a month at your disposal we have created a more care free and relaxed environment for our clients and reduced costs dramatically to suit there needs.
Yes we still have criteria to meet, but you can do this as quickly or as slowly as you choose to cover the basics including
Sit, Down, Loose-lead walking, Bed/Place, Heel, touch and Recall.
But! We start it all with conditioned reinforcers, handler focus and correct socialisation and habituation. while we tech correct socialisation We don't just play and we definitely don't expect our dogs to just 'know' what is expected of them. We train and establish the behaviours and obedience we are after in the adult dog we will end up with
Will my dog socialise?
YES- While we don't allow 'dog play' in class we do establish great socialisation techniques that will help you create a calm and well mannered dog upon greeting and interactions. Dogs WILL get the opportunity to interact when they are learning to establish this behaviour and ongoing once this behaviour is learnt.
Is it fun?
We try to make classes as fun and free-flowing as possible. We love to have a joke and help get classes interacting through shared experiences and openly letting people bring ideas to the group. We also like to implement some fun tricks such as Touch, leg weave and the fastest recall challenge.
Head to our Obedience page to get our full list of Criteria and skills that you will learn.

Private training
A Little Goes a Long Way
Private dog training is a way we can help dogs with undesired behaviours in a comfortable well known environment.
We see a dogs with a whole range of behavioural issues that need addressing and a lot of owners who are either at their wits end, scared of the dog or a new owner to the dog.
A lot of owners who have finally reached out have tried to seek help online via YouTube and TikTok but unfortunately the information they receive is bleak or not useful for their specific needs and sometimes misunderstood which can end up making things a lot worse.
The location of sessions will depend on your distance to Hamilton, availability, the behaviour being exhibited, the bite history of the dog and what step we are up to in the process of modifying the behaviour.
We do try to have all initial consultation/sessions in the home and by doing this we are usually in the place that they feel less threatened.
The process of modifying behaviours doesn’t happen overnight. It can be quite demanding and requires a lot of dedication, consistency and patience!

Community walks
Community walks are a great way to socialise your dog and work on your lead manners so feel free to join us when we walk the gardens and then have some lunch with our dogs. (all updates on Facebook and announcements on home page)
All dogs are expected to stay ON LEAD at all times and all humans are expected respect others space and ask permission for interactions...
-If you have a dog that gets really excited to see other dogs and people you should definitely consider coming along and letting your dog co-exist with other dogs but not initiate in play so that you can start working on being calm around dogs before they can say hi!
-If you have a dog that isn't as friendly or your working on your thresholds you are definitely more than welcome to do so. Please keep a safe distance and restrain your dog as you see fit including a muzzle and well-fitting collar.

Social events
We hold social events for all of our clients to attend if they wish to. They are always announced in our announcements, Blog and Facebook so please keep an eye out!
