Puppy Training and Socialisation Classes
This is the first step in shaping a well-behaved disciplined dog.
An important part of the classes is teaching you how your puppy thinks and learns, to empower you as the puppy parent to build up your puppies confidence and understand the needs and behaviours of your puppy. We will work at your puppies pace to make sure the classes are as FUN as possible for you and your puppy, so that you get the most out of each session.
During the 5-week Puppy 1 course, we strive to help you set reasonable expectations and boundaries, between you and your puppy so that you don't get frustrated with each other and your relationship thrives. This is done through mutual respect love and understanding, we only use positive reinforcement. The foundation obedience exercises such as sit, stay, walking on a loose lead, come and leave are taught using modern and positive training techniques. Off-lead free play is incorporated into each class to teach the puppies how to interact appropriately with other dogs and increase their sociability with other dogs. Each class includes information about the most common puppy behaviours that puppy parents experience such as biting, house training & jumping, just to name a few. Other information topics including tips on car safety, puppy proofing and any questions you may have are also covered.

Adult Dog Training classes
This course is focused on teaching dogs good socialisation skills in a small class environment, getting them comfortable and ready for adolescent classes and bigger groups of dogs. Impulse control and good manners are also incorporated. You and your pooch will be continuously evaluated throughout the courses to see where more support is required.
The lessons are adjusted to what the group and individual doggie's needs are. Sasha meets the dogs at the level they require and builds up their confidence. Activities focus on impulse control around other dogs, walking on a loose lead with distraction, stay with distraction, and general life skills to mention a few.
