Puppy not finished vaccinations yet? Begin puppy training now! Puppy classes have clean floors, so no germs.
The Puppy Program supports you in teaching good manners from baby puppy through to adolescent dog.
In-person puppy classes incorporate socialisation, play, reward training and in-home support. Our indoor venue lets classes run even with bad weather, and is a low distraction learning environment.
Weekly sessions for people who want to get together, play dog games and be social while their dog learns great manners.
No standing in rows, no drill team tactics. Instead, bring snacks, and have dogs practice their picnic skills.
This session is about training dog life-skills for being in public, with low pressure and high fun.
We do different activities in different sessions. Picnic one day, canine Hoopers obstacle course the next.
Pup too wild, or petrified in puppy school? Dog distressed or behaving badly in dog training classes?
Private dog training supports you to make meaningful behavioural improvements. Ideal for shy or hyper dogs, puppy foundation training, and good manners.
Fear free training guaranteed not to create anxiety! Your experienced, compassionate dog trainer will help you create changes to achieve your dog training or puppy raising aspirations.
Protect your dog from snake-bite! Teach them to report to you, or go to safety when they find a snake.
Use fear-free clicker training to prevent anxiety, and give you snake avoidance behaviour that suits your needs.
Snake avoidance is fun: hone your recall, proof for reliability, and add a new trick or two! Once you learn how to train your dog, you’ll be able to maintain the training yourself, and train future dogs!
The training system most professionals choose to use. Our courses train YOU to train your dog. No cults or gurus here! Online learning supports in-person coaching and home practice.
Reward based clicker training is engaging and addictive! Each skill is broken down so that you can master it easily. Re-watch videos as many times as needed & share your success.
Fear is never used in our training as it can cause aggression and persistent anxiety. Unwanted behaviour is eagerly replaced with good manners, once your dog learns what gets rewarded.
Marra did an amazing job with our American Staffy / Sharpei 18 month puppy. We had a lot of problems getting her settled and recall was a major problem. Over a few weeks she worked with our dog and gave us a series of practical methods to take home and practice with her. Marra's help has been amazing in helping us understand our dog and how we can modify her behaviour without negative reinforcement. We are very happy with the results after receiving some dog training help!

I don’t think we would have survived the puppy time without Marra’s support and guidance. We enjoyed that we could send a text or an email when we felt lost, the weekly zoom meetings and classes were so helpful and fun.

Marra is such a good trainer (people and puppys)! We've put both of our dogs through her school. She left us with the skills and confidence to manage behaviour and extend our training beyond the basics!

Absolutely fantastic dog trainer. Very professional, knowledgeable, excellent with the puppies and great follow up. We did the group puppy training, tweenager course and we had the one on one training. Our puppy is so much more well behaved and we ourselves have learnt so much. Highly recommend to any puppy/dog owner.
