Dog Training

RSPCA Dog Training School

Registrations are temporary closed for our Dog Training School. Check back with us soon for future updates. 

RSPCA ACT Dog Training School classes are catered towards dogs and puppies of all different ages and abilities and are limited to 8 dogs per class to allow participants to receive more individual attention by our experienced instructors. Our aim is to give your dog the required skills to have a happy, well-adjusted life with their family, using positive reinforcement. Training focuses on manners, impulse control, how to sit, drop, how to walk nicely on lead and how to introduce dogs to each other in a safe manner.

Depending on the dynamics of the classes, there may not be on or off-lead play. It is critical for all dogs to have a good experience when learning to interact with each other and not have a negative experience that could impact their entire life. For this reason, the instructors will decide if playtime will occur during your class.

The Different Levels

Orientation

All participants are required to attend a once off compulsory orientation. Here, you will meet your instructor, learn important information relating to your class and dog behaviour and receive your training equipment that you will utilise in class.
