Intended audience
Designed for puppy owners & soon-to-be puppy owners with pups aged to 20 weeks. We believe in being prepared and having your puppy training game plan in place so you can begin training the dog from day 1 before unwanted behaviours become standard.

Course fees
• Group Course 4 hours – $375 Per family (Mum/Dad/Kids)
• One on One $249 per hour for 2 Adults Please note – you will be the only person or family attending. This suits those who for various reasons are not wanting to attend a group clinic.

“Starting training from day one is much easier than correcting unwanted behaviours after habits form.” – Nikki Bignell, Lead Trainer.
How this course is delivered
Our courses are relaxed and you are encouraged to ask questions throughout the presentation. A detailed clinic booklet covering all of the topics discussed on the day is provided. At the end of the Clinic, there will be time for a training demonstration with a puppy, teaching them recall and a sit using food as a reward.
The main content of the course is presented by Dean Hansen, current Puppy Development Officer and Breed Manager for the Queensland Police Service Dog Squad. He will take you through everything you need to know from picking up your puppy to 20 weeks of age. Dean’s presentation will also include some fantastic training videos.
Nikki Bignell, with her diverse experience training and working with dogs for the last three decades, will take you through health and wellbeing tips and Puppy essentials for success at the Vet and Groomers.

“We attended the puppy development course 2 weeks before we brought our pup home. It was so beneficial doing the course prior to getting our pup, we now feel more confident in what we need to do to have a happy, well adjusted pup without making mistakes that need to be corrected later.
We will be back for the obedience course when she is old enough. Highly recommend.”
