Pre Puppy Consults
$225 1.5 hours $300 2 hours
Getting a new puppy is a much anticipated day. For your puppy, however, entering a new human pack can be a challenging experience. A puppy consult (done either before puppy arrives, or shortly after) will give you more confidence in managing basic puppy issues such as toilet training, sleeping, daily routine, and destructive behaviour. It can also prevent behavioural problems developing down the track.
Manners & Obedience for puppies up to 6 months
$595 2 x 2 hours
Puppies need training. Just like us children, they need to go to school, and just like children, they operate best when given boundaries, routines, appropriate consequences for negative behaviour and heaps of praise. Basic training takes place in your own home and surrounds, so it is tailored to your family and your lifestyle. It helps you build a leadership relationship with your dog, based on trust and consistency, and the words and voice tones in order to “speak puppy”. In essence, you are now their new mum or dad, they are the child, and it is up to you to guide them in a human world they often find confusing.
In Home Manners & Obedience PLUS
$165 1 hour lessons
It’s often worth a little more to get your puppy or dog to where you’d like it to be. Many dog owners are choosing to upskill themselves and their dogs in order to enjoy their dog more. Because the higher the level of the dog’s training, the easier it is to fix behavioural issues, and the more places you can take them. Training is a journey as your dog continues to grow and change. If you would like to fast track the level of your dog’s training, or address more complex behavioural responses such as aggression or separation anxiety, additional 1:1 training sessions are for you.
