Puppy School Mascot $295 – Raise a Happy Dog

$295 for the full 4-week puppy training course. There’s free council parking directly opposite. Includes a free training pouch and access to our online puppy school to support your training at home.

Puppy training at our Mascot school covers far more than just commands. Yes, your puppy will learn sit, down, stay, come and leave it — but the real focus is on giving you and your dog a shared language. You’ll understand how your puppy learns, how to read their behaviour, and how to build good habits from day one. It’s practical, enjoyable, and designed to make a real difference to your daily life together.

Puppies can join from 8 weeks of age, as long as they’ve had at least their first vaccination. We run classes up to 16 weeks. Our Mascot venue is a private home environment with a covered outdoor patio and heaters — never a public park — and is cleaned with F10 veterinary disinfectant before every class, the same product used in vet clinics. Your puppy’s health and safety is our priority.

Absolutely. The ideal window is 8–12 weeks, but the socialisation period extends to 16 weeks — and every week of that window matters. Even if your pup is closer to 16 weeks, the skills, socialisation and guidance you’ll get from four classes are genuinely valuable. If your puppy has passed 16 weeks, our Teenage Dog Class is the natural next step and is specifically designed for that age group.

This is one of the most common questions we receive — and an important one. Waiting until full vaccination (which happens around 16 weeks) means missing the entire critical socialisation window, which closes at the same time. The research is clear: well-managed puppy classes pose no increased health risk and offer significant long-term behavioural benefits. Our Mascot venue is a private home environment with a covered outdoor patio and heaters, sanitised with F10 before every session. We would never compromise on the safety of the puppies in our care.

No need to call at all — you can book your spot online 24/7 through our booking page. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll automatically receive an email with everything you need to know before your first class, including what to bring, where to park and what to expect. It’s all taken care of.

Bring a high-value treat your puppy loves — something really tasty that they don’t normally get at home (small pieces of chicken, cheese or similar work well). You’ll also need a leash. Full instructions are sent to you automatically by email once you book, so nothing will catch you off guard on the day.

If you miss a session, we offer catch-up lessons at one of our other puppy school locations so you don’t fall behind. Just get in touch and we’ll arrange it.
