GROUP DOG TRAINING CLASSES
Padfoot’s group obedience and dog training classes are designed to teach reliable, functional behaviours including LOOK, COME, DOWN, STAY, LOOSE LEAD WALKING that will keep your dog (and you) relaxed and safe around all distractions. We emphasise good independent decision-making, a solid connection and understanding between dog and owner, and quiet confidence.
Courses start every few weeks and are held at Buderim Mountain State School Oval.
Suitable for puppies and dogs over 12 weeks of age. If your pup is under 12 weeks old, have a look at our Best Start Puppy Pack.
Costs just $149 per dog for the entire course
An early bird rate of just $99 is available for those enrolling more than 2 calendar months before a course start date.
Classes are supported by lifetime access to our e-learning system and online support group.
Discounted Life Membership options are also available. Just $600 with nothing more to pay - ever!
Problem Behaviour Solutions
As professional animal behaviourists we specialise in the assessment and resolution of serious problem behaviours including aggression, reactivity, obsession, separation anxiety and more.

And all of the solutions we recommend are practical, pragmatic and cost effective.
