Group Dog Training Classes registration

Foxy Dogs Dog Group Training classes are unique, they are not cookie cutter sit/down/stay, loose lead and recall lessons like most group training classes. These elements are certainly included but I also introduce concept training into the mix. Concept training is the ability to strengthen dogs emotional stability such as calmness, confidence, thinking in arousal, coping with novelty and building optimism, independence and engagement (see the separate tab for more information). Complete the form below and tell me about 2 current struggles your dog is experiencing (if any), I will make sure that during the term you attend I will create exercises specifically for you to help you address these struggles - think of it like one-on-one consults but in a group setting, where each dogs individual and unique needs will be being met. This essentially means that the training content of each term changes every time, they will not be ‘rinse and repeat’.

Class terms are for six weeks. The very first class will be dog free so we can talk a little bit about class content, what to expect, training mechanics, the differences between behaviour training and concept training, the benefits of concept training and I can answer all your doggy questions. Classes are held at Beecroft Park, City Beach and Holyrood Park, West Leederville. Small class numbers of 6 participants so every dogs and owners needs can be met.

Beginner classes will be held initially, with Intermediate classes added after that (however I will put on Intermediate classes on at Beecroft Park on a Tuesday’s at 11am if there is interest - you need to have completed a Beginner class elsewhere first like an RSPCA beginner class, register your interest below). Advanced classes will be added towards the end of the year.

Class price is $300 for six weeks (one dog). Payment will be due prior to attending class.

Complete the form below and I will contact you get further information and confirm your booking.
