Obedience training helps your puppy learn its role in your family and in the World. It will teach you the skills required to in turn teach your puppy how to interact with other dogs and with the people inside and outside your home. We offer one-on-one classes as well as group puppy classes. We also highly recommend doggy daycare for continual socialisation.
Agility training is considered a dog sport – where the handler (dog owner) directs his dog through an obstacle course. You don’t necessarily have to compete – it can just be a fun bonding activity for you and your dog. Not all dogs are fond of agility – but many love it! We have a competition spec agility course for you and your dog to enjoy.
If you have completed basic obedience training and you want to keep up the training – join our social obedience club. We run this class on a Saturday morning at 9am. It is a very relaxed environment and a good start to the weekend. We have fantastic coffee available! Come and mingle with other dog-people!
Our instructor will assess your dog to see if protection work is an option for you. All protection work dogs must have had obedience training too. We teach dogs controlled bite work. We understand what dogs are capable of and we certainly do not want anyone to be harmed unnecessarily. Protection training will take place on a Sunday morning at 8h30am. COMING SOON!

I have always had an obsession with wolves & dogs. I generally relate to dogs better than most humans 🙂 I work with dogs every day of the week without exception. I can help you with basic as well as advanced obedience training. I can also do agility training.
I work in the Corporate World during the week and indulge in my passion for dog training over weekends and after hours. I love to see bonds develop bewteen owners & their dogs. I have seen how intelligent dogs are and I love to show owners how best to harness this intelligece to enhance their training experience. Dog training is not a job to me – but a calling!
I am passionate about helping owners create good pets for life. If you put in the time to get the basics right – from the start – you can nip problems in the bud. Training is a bonding experience between the hander and his/her dog. It must be a lifestyle – and lots of fun! I believe that every dog that we train correctly ultimately saves its life as there is less chance of it becoming a shelter dog or being put down due to behavioural problems. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
I have always loved animals. I started my career as a game guide and then pursued my passion for dogs. I have done all the possible Dog Instructor’s Course levels at the South African Dog Training College. I work with dogs on a daily basis. I believe solid knowledge, positive reinforcement, patience and kindness are the keys to success in dog training. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog!
