Classes – Dog Training Ipswich

What are Group Classes?

Our classes bring small groups of dog owners and their dogs together to learn new skills. By keeping classes small, depending on the class we can have up to 4 or 8 in a class this means we are able to focus on the individual participantsm and help them succeed. We run 2 types of classes – our unique manners & obedience classes as well as topics classes to help owners focus on a particular behaviour or have more fun with their dog.

Whether you have a brand new puppy that you have brought home and you want to learn the ropes or if you have an older dog in need of some manners, we have a class for you.

Where are classes located?

Our classes are held indoors at our training studio, located at 3/14 South Station Rd Booval. Providing a space that is comfortable all year round dogs and their family allowing us focus on learning. For puppies, this ensures we have a hygienic place for them to socialise and stay safe during their vaccination period.
