Welcome to our popular puppy and dog training school we affectionately call Prime Pups.
We are passionate about training dogs of all ages and have developed weekly classes that we feel stand out from all the others. As a team of experienced behaviourists and dog trainers we felt there was insufficient understanding of what dogs really need at different stages of their lives and that classes should be fun, informative and engaging and most importantly relevant.
It has been our endeavour and delight to bring you what we feel are the critical elements of socialising and learning for all ages of dogs - from young puppies, to adolescents to adult dogs.
This also meant we felt it necessary to go beyond the classroom so our training programs also include:
FREE access to our supportive private group page for any Q&A's
FREE Socialising and Training Videos and Resources from our team that goes beyond what we teach in class
FREE monthly social dog walks
and primary access to our popular School Holiday Adventure Programs
As puppy raisers and dog coaches ourselves, we love to share with you our knowledge, skills and tips to ensure you and your dog become the best partnerships for life and are here throughout your journey.
We love nothing better that seeing your and your dog develop and grow, you become part of our family of Prime Pups.
We only use positive reinforcement techniques to ensure dogs willingly engage in their learning for long term behaviours.
TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR CLIENTS
"This course absolutely exceeded my expectations! Brooke was SO helpful and extremely passionate about all dogs. All of her reasoning was really logical and made me feel way more comfortable with my dog. She didn't over complicate things but you could also tell she was extremely knowledgable about all topics. We loved going to pup school every Saturday. Even if you aren't into the training or learning skills, just giving your dog some time to socialise around other people and dogs was SO beneficial. We loved the course. Thank you!" - EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM
"It was an excellent course. Covered the important skills we need to learn at this age. Everything was explained & demonstrated well in class, and followed up with extra info in the online guides, with plenty of suggestions & inspiration for ongoing training. The classes were safe & fun. Great idea using a different class location most weeks. Sarah was clearly passionate and knowledgable about dogs. Also, a great follow-on from Early Learning Pups, they work well together." - SCHOOL PUPS PROGRAM
"Overall a very comprehensive course and far exceeds any other available courses, the guides are great resources, I liked the follow up emails after each class, the photo's, the FB group, more than one tutor for the class helped, and definitely liked the methodology to socialising new puppies to a wide range of things other than just other puppies." - EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM
"It was a whole new way of training & bonding. Gentle, well organised, clear instructions, supportive and fun, we really appreciated & enjoyed it. I wish all pups & their families could have the opportunity to do a course like this." - SCHOOL PUPS
"A real step in developing our dogs skills in a way that made sense to both of us. We liked the new things to learn each week that were specifically suited to our boisterous dog and felt included and supported by Estelle, who answered any questions we had too. Highly recommend it after doing School Pups" - TOP TEENS
