Dog Training
Puppy classes
The first couple of months of your puppy’s life are crucial – what s/he learns during this period will shape his/her personality. Because training and behaviour are so entwined, I offer a course that helps you to understand how your puppy learns and how s/he views the world. It is a 5 week course and classes are run on Saturday mornings from 9am – 10am. The five-week course covers:
- Basic obedience
- Socialisation (with humans and dogs)
- Forming a strong relationship with your puppy
- How to deal with common puppy behavioural problems, such as digging, chewing, toilet training and jumping
- Creating a “bomb-proof” pup: noise desensitisation and phobia avoidance
* Please note that puppy classes do not run all the time, so please call or email to find out if or when there is a course starting.
Enrolment Process

- We accept dogs of all ages, but all dogs older than six months must be neutered or spayed.
- All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. Proof may be required.
- All dogs will be given a 2 to 4 hour behaviour assessment to determine enrollment eligibility at a price of R250.00 (non refundable)
