Things To Know for Dog Training in Canberra

Our dog training programs are designed to be tailored to your dog and their behaviours to give your dog the support they need to succeed. We begin by getting to know your dog and understanding your goals, which helps us recommend the best training program for you.

Before starting any of our programs, your dog must be up to date with their C5 (or equivalent) vaccinations. You’ll need to upload their vaccination certificate to your Customer Portal before training can begin. We are able to cater for dogs that aren't desexed, but we do not take dogs in heat across our centres.
