Puppy Training Program
A well-socialised, confident, and obedient dog starts from day one
More than just puppy training…
Set yourself and your pup up for success with our puppy program, thoughtfully designed to give you the best start together possible
We help you raise a dog who you can take out and about, who does want to meet new friends, and who you can truly bond with and enjoy as man's true best friend.
Conducted by a professional and qualified dog trainer, we will work with your puppy (or older dog) to achieve great things, beyond just traditional “puppy training”.
Working all over the Southern Highlands and Wollondilly, your puppy will be in good hands.
What’s included:
• Pick up and drop off.
• 2-hour session.
• Building foundations to help prevent behavioural issues.
• Engagement, leash manners, recall, cafe manners, basic obedience… and much, much more!
• Training plans, video updates, and ongoing support through any issues you may be having at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The short answer is: right now. A puppy's critical socialisation window occurs between 3 and 16 weeks of age. During this time, their brains are like little sponges, making it the absolute best time to introduce them to new sights, sounds, textures, and manners.
However, you are never too old to start training. We work with dogs of all ages, so if you are 5 years in, we can still get started on your goals.
-
Unlike traditional puppy schools held in crowded, noisy veterinary clinics, our program provides a premium, highly personalized experience.
We don't just focus on basic commands in a contained room. We take your puppy out into the real world, such as local Southern Highlands dog-friendly cafes and walking tracks, to build practical, real-world foundations. Best of all, we include full pick-up and drop-off service, meaning your puppy gets expert training integrated directly into their day with zero hassle for you.
-
Each comprehensively structured session runs for 2 hours and includes:
Door-to-door service: Convenient pick-up and drop-off from your Southern Highlands home.
Foundation building: Proactive training designed to prevent common behavioral issues before they start.
Real-world skills: Dedicated focus on engagement, loose-leash manners, reliable recall, basic obedience, and crucial "cafe manners" so your pup learns to settle while you enjoy a coffee.
Owner resources: Custom training plans, video updates from our session, and ongoing support to help you navigate any specific puppy hurdles you are experiencing at home.
-
You are a vital part of your puppy’s success! While we do the heavy lifting during our 2-hour training sessions, we ensure you are fully equipped to maintain progress at home. After each session, you will receive:
Video updates showing exactly what your puppy learned and how we handled the training.
Step-by-step training plans tailored to your puppy's specific personality.
Ongoing support to answer your questions about toilet training, crate training, nipping, or routine building.
-
Safety is our absolute priority. For real-world training, puppies must have received their first C3 vaccination at least 7 to 10 days prior to their first session.
Because we do not expose young puppies to high-risk environments like public off-leash dog parks, we can safely work on engagement, leash manners, and environmental socialisation in low-risk, controlled outdoor settings across the Highlands.
If you are concerned, we can focus on starting within your home environment too.
