I offer dog training classes and private lessons/consultations. Newcastle and Lake Macquarie NSW. Cert IV in Dog Training from Delta Society of Australia

Dog Training Newcastle offers small Classes, in-home Puppy Preschool and Private Lessons in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

* SMALL GROUP CLASSES *

I teach small group lessons for adult beginner dogs. There are 6 x 1 hour lessons taught over 6 weeks.

You will learn how to teach your dog to:
* Walk on a loose lead without pulling.
* Come to you when called.
* Sit or stand calmly without jumping when meeting a stranger.
* Sit.
* Lie down.
* Wait.
* Plus: Information about dog care, help with problem behaviours, and handouts every week.
* Graduation Certificate and gift.

Lessons are taught at Kotara South Public School, under cover (protected from sun and rain) and private (no other dogs or people around to distract your dog). Saturday mornings.

Class size is limited to 6 dogs. Dogs need to be 6 months or older (no upper age limit) and fully vaccinated.

Cost of the 6 Lesson Program is:
$175 per dog, or
$150 per dog if you adopted your dog from Dog Rescue Newcastle, or

There are no group classes during December and January but I offer private lessons year round (see below).

* PUPPY PACKAGE *

Puppy Preschool comes to you. Private lessons, in your home, scheduled at your convenience. Instead of going to a group class, we bring the training to you. Four private lessons conducted in your home you'll learn the same things as puppy preschool. Available for puppies from 6 weeks up to 6 months old. If your puppy is 6 months or older please consider or classes or private lessons.
Only $240 for four lessons.

* PRIVATE LESSONS *

There are many reasons why private lessons or behavioural consultations would be suitable for you and your dog:

* Your dog has problem behaviours that you need help with (fear or anxiety; barking; unsuitable reactions to other dogs, people or objects; resource guarding; defending food or toys; etc).
* Your dog is not comfortable near other dogs.
* You have specific skills that you want to teach your dog that aren't covered in class.
* Private lessons are a more efficient use of your time because you and your dog get individual attention and can learn more in a shorter period of time.
* Your schedule doesn't allow you to attend classes.
* You appreciate the convenience of lessons at home instead of driving to classes.
* There are no suitable classes near you.
* Group classes aren't available during the summer.

Private lessons are $85 for the first lesson then $60 for each subsequent lesson. All lessons are one hour. Unlike group lessons, I focus on your specific requirements. I'll give you printed handouts covering the topics which we cover in the lesson. I can book you in for a private lesson on any day of the week between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
