When we speak of Let's Train we are talking about helping you to equip your pup with lifeskills that will help it to live a full and happy life as a family member.
Let's Train stands for Life skills Essential Towards Success,
Trust, Respect, Attention, Identify Problems and Never Give Up!

We only use positive reinforcement force free training methods and believe in helping you to train your dog to develop life skills to enable it to make better decisions and cope with living in our human environment in harmony with you.

Classes Offered

Let's Train

We are a very proudly sponsored and approved Hills Puppy School and are committed to both you and your puppy's ongoing growth and development

Weekly classes alternate between our venue and Piggly Wiggly or St Johns Village in Howick. This ensures that your pup learns to focus on you in a variety of different situations.

Kindergarten Class

Suitable for puppies between 10 and 20 weeks. Fun life skill training which includes socialisation in a controlled manner and basic obedience commands

Tween & Teen Classes

Group classes for young dogs who have some basic skills but now need to learn that they apply in multiple situations.

These classes continue to hone your pups life skills while helping them to learn to make better decisions and develop self control.

Did you realise that there is a physical reason why teenage dogs seem to forget all that they learnt in puppy classes? Its true the last major area of the brain to mature is the prefrontal cortex and this area is responsible for decision making, impulse control, emotional regulation, concentration and risk assessment. This is why its so important to continue the training in a kind and gentle manner. They haven't lost all they learnt they just need to learn to reapply it in new situations.

Weekly classes are offered at our training venue and alternate between "K9" and other exciting places to train like Piggly Wiggly, Hebron Haven and St Johns village.

Teenage Good Manners
We have all been there, that beautifully behaved puppy suddenly becomes a teenager and seems to have forgotten all that you so carefully taught him or her. These classes help you to regain your control and continue to build your relationship with your precious fur brat while having fun together. All dogs must have a basic understanding of common obedience commands.

Canine Good Citizen classes are based on the requirements for the KUSA tests. You can have a look at the KUSA website (see links below) or email us for more information. The good citizen test is based on developing a solid relationship with you dog and knowing how your dog will respond in varying situations.
