GOOD MANNERS +6 MONTHS

We offer a seven week course designed to develop basic good manners for dogs over the age of 6 months. The first class is dog free where we cover theory, equipment and discuss what will be happening in the course and what to prepare. It’s a good idea to plan your calendar so that you can attend all classes. This is a progressive course and there are no makeup classes. If you are planning to have your dog desexed, we recommend planning after the course or before and allow two weeks to heal and stitches removed.

Training is held at Glenbrook Public School, address corner of Woodville and Peel Street, Glenbrook. Ideal parking is on Woodville Street. We will teach you how to train and work with your dog utilising a clicker and reward based training.

 

  • We have up to six dogs in a class so we can give you personal attention.

  • All dogs should be fully vaccinated. Proof of vaccination is provided week 1. 

  • The Good Manners course total cost is $350. Prepayment is required to reserve your place in the class.

  • ​Please note there are no refunds for cancellations 7 days before the class start date. Booking cancellations will incur an administration fee and online charge of $50.

  • 3 months messaging support once class is booked and paid. 

  • Private online group to gain discounts, connect with like minded people, priority access to all classes and advanced classes not advertised to public.
