Areas We Service in ACT

Our dog training programs are available to dogs in Canberra and surrounding areas. Whether you're located in the capital or just outside the border, many pet parents travel to us for the personalised care and expertise our trainers provide.

Things To Know for Dog Training in ACT

Before your dog begins their training program, we encourage you to chat with one of our certified trainers to discuss what you'd like to achieve and set clear, realistic goals.

Our programs focus on building the foundations for good behaviour, but it’s important to maintain these skills at home to ensure long-lasting results. Your dog will also need to meet our vaccination requirements before joining the program.

Not every dog may be suitable for our training programs, but we’re happy to offer alternative recommendations based on your dog’s needs.

Your dog must also be up to date with their C5 Vaccinations and a current vaccination certificate uploaded to your Customer Portal. We are able to cater for dogs that aren't desexed, but we do not take dogs in heat across our centres.
