Puppy Training

Maltese puppy looking at camera, 4 month

Our puppies are always learning and the first few weeks and months with your new puppy can be vital to their development and preventing potential behaviour problems in future. Give your puppy the best start with our puppy training services and packages

Pre Adoption Consult
Recommended for any new puppy owner. Our knowledge about the early stages of a puppy's development has advanced greatly and far beyond a lot of the information that is available to owners on Google. Set your family up for the best chance of success with this one hour consult, before you get your puppy. As well as going through your settling in and toilet training guides, we'll talk you through socialisation and how to do it well to reduce the risk of potential behaviour issues later on. We'll also discuss your set up and make sure you have everything you need to make your transition into puppy ownership as smooth as possible. 
Online: $95
