Greyhound Foundations Class
Introduction to teaching your hound skills
In our exclusive “greyhound only” class you’ll learn how to build a stronger bond with your hound and tips and tricks of living with these magnificent creatures.
Greyhounds come with a unique set of challenges when starting training so it’s important to learn from someone who knows.

Puppy Class
For puppies from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age
The first few months of a puppy's life are so important and the more time you spend in those early days and weeks learning about your puppy and how to teach them, the easier it will be down the track.
Our puppy class is designed to set you and your puppy up for success, not just teach obedience and play in a puppy mosh pit!
We keep our class numbers small so everyone gets the attention they need.

We focus on engagement, confidence and having fun! Each week we cover:
Toilet training, biting, health, sleeping and management around the home
Communication and how we can use rewards effectively to teach our puppy
Sit, drop, stay, crate training and mat/bed
Lead manners for walking and greeting people and dogs
