Puppy School in Camperdown $295 – Train Smart Not Hard!

Puppies can join from 8 weeks of age, as long as they’ve had their first vaccination. Our Camperdown classes run until 16 weeks — and we only use private, safe indoor locations, never public parks, which keeps health risks extremely low. The earlier you start, the better the outcome.

The earlier the better — ideally from 8 weeks of age. The most critical developmental window for socialisation is between 8 and 12 weeks. Puppies who start during this window are significantly more likely to grow into confident, social adult dogs. Puppy school remains open until 16 weeks, and our Teen Dog Classes are a great option beyond that age.

$295 in total — covers all four weekly group classes, a free training pouch, and access to our online puppy school to support your home training. Prefer a bit of extra support? Our Puppy Bundle ($494) includes a private home puppy visit plus all four puppy school classes, saving you $70.

Puppy training is about teaching essential behaviours and skills during the most receptive phase of your dog’s life. From basic obedience like sit, down, stay and come, to socialisation, impulse control and leash manners — it’s a structured approach that builds good habits from day one. It also gives you practical tools to handle common situations: meeting new dogs and people, encountering distractions, or managing anxiety in new environments.

Yes — and in fact, the earlier the better. The critical socialisation window is 8–12 weeks, so waiting for full vaccination (typically at 16 weeks) means missing it entirely. Research consistently shows that well-managed puppy schools in clean, private locations carry no meaningful health risk. Our Camperdown venue is cleaned with F10, the same disinfectant used by veterinary clinics. The only vaccination we require is the first one.

Our Camperdown puppy classes run with a maximum of 8 puppies per class. This means every puppy and owner gets genuine individual attention throughout each session. It also keeps socialisation structured and calm — far better for learning than a large, overwhelming group.

Our Camperdown puppy preschool is designed for puppies up to 16 weeks, within the critical socialisation window. If your pup is older, our Teen Dog Classes are the perfect fit — covering all the foundations and tackling common adolescent behaviours head-on.

Our 4-week puppy class covers basic commands (sit, down, stay, come), socialisation, impulse control, leash manners and common issues like biting and jumping up. You’ll also learn how dogs think, so your training stays effective and consistent at home between classes.

Absolutely! Our puppy classes welcome all breeds and sizes. Socialisation is always managed carefully so every puppy — from a tiny Chihuahua to a large Labrador — has a safe, positive experience. Small breeds especially benefit from structured early socialisation.

Check our live booking calendar above — if a Camperdown puppy class is sold out it will show as unavailable. If it’s showing, it’s bookable! Classes fill up quickly so we recommend booking as soon as your puppy has had their first vaccination.

You can always do a catch up lesson in one of our other puppy school locations if you can’t make it on the day!
