Puppy School Marrickville $295 – Because Puppies Don't Train Themselves

$295 for the full 4-week course. That includes all four classes, a free training pouch, and access to our online puppy school to keep the learning going at home between sessions.

Puppy training is the process of teaching your puppy essential skills and good behaviour from an early age. It focuses on basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners, as well as socialisation, impulse control, and problem-solving. Puppy training helps your dog develop good habits, builds a strong bond between you and your dog, and sets the foundation for a well-behaved dog in adulthood. It also addresses important skills for dealing with distractions, meeting new people or animals, and managing fear or anxiety in different environments.

Whether you’re looking for puppy training in Marrickville or a puppy class in the Inner West, our classes are conveniently located for owners in the nearby suburbs such as Newtown, Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Sydenham, Enmore and St Peters.

Any time from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age, after their first vaccination at 6 weeks of age. Puppy schools are never run in public parks, only in private and safe spaces with no increased health risks from un-known dogs.

As early as possible from 8 weeks of age. The best time to join puppy school is typically between 8 to 16 weeks of age. This is when puppies are most receptive to learning and socialising, and their critical developmental period for socialisation occurs. Early training helps set a strong foundation for good behaviour, builds confidence, and reduces the risk of behavioural issues in the future. However, even if your puppy is older, it’s never too late to start training and socialising them! Our teen classes are great for older puppies!

Yes, in fact the most important socialisation period for dogs is 8-12 weeks of age, this is ideal for puppy school as well. Studies show no increased health risks in puppy schools and plenty of benefits. Puppy schools should always be run in private locations, not in public outdoors spaces. All our locations are safe and cleaned with F10 which vets use as well.

Our Marrickville 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 Marrickville 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.
