Training
Our helpful staff can provide clients with many different recommendations for puppy school and dog trainers in the ACT region. Puppy school offers you an opportunity to introduce your puppy to many additional sights, sounds and experiences in a controlled and responsible way. They are a fun and informative way to help you begin the socialisation process in a safe environment and allow your puppy to meet others while it is still very young. Good socialisation is the best way to ensure a friendly, well-adjusted adult dog.
Behaviour
There are many behaviours that can best addressed with a behaviour consultation, including but not limited to: separation distress/anxiety, noise reactions/phobias, fear of places/experiences (such as grooming, vet visits, travel), human directed aggression, dog/cat directed aggression, abnormal toileting behaviour, general fearfulness or anxiety, behavioural changes in senior pets, excessive reactivity to various things, excessive barking/destruction, and repetitive behaviours.
