This is a great opportunity for you and your puppy (under 18 weeks before the classes begin) to join others and have a terrific time while learning important life skills. Our once-a-week for five weeks course will teach your puppy manners and obedience commands such as sit, down, leave it and stay. We will show you the best ways to overcome common puppy problems, such as play-biting, housetraining, chewing, jumping up etc. Classes even include some supervised play time for your puppy to learn good socialisation skills so join us at the SPCA and give your puppy a head start in life!
Puppies must be under 18 weeks of age and have received their first two DHPPiL vaccinations. We will need proof of this before letting you bring your pet along.
Please note that the first class is theory-based so please leave your dog at home.
This is a fun, beginner-level course designed for well-socialised, adolescent and adult dogs over 10kg. Course content includes obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, come, leave it, loose-leash walking, an introduction to heeling and not jumping up. There is also an emphasis on the prevention of future problems such as handling issues and food bowl guarding.
In order to attend, your dog must be over 18 weeks of age and weigh more than 10kg. Your animal must be fully vaccinated including up-to-date DHPPiL and rabies shots. We will need written proof of these before your dog can start the course.
The courses run for five weeks and each class is an hour long. The first class of each course is a theory class so please leave your dog at home.
This is the same course as the large dog obedience course but with a tiny twist – dogs must be under 10kg.
As with the large dog version, dogs on this course must be over 18 weeks but under 10kg. Your animal must be fully vaccinated including up-to-date DHPPiL and rabies shots. We will need written proof of these before your dog can start the course.
Courses last for five weeks and each class lasts an hour. The first class of each course is a theory class so please leave your dog at home.
Dogs have strong sense of smell. In fact, scent work drains energy around 5 times more than physical exercises. It engages the dogs’ mind and helps them calm down. Dogs who participate in the course will have fun, build better confidence and burn lots of mental and physical energy! This course will benefit all dogs with different characteristics and abilities.
“Fun Scent Games” is for all dogs and owners who want to play a fun game.
