Our Puppy School and Obedience Classes are reopening 30 October.
Located at 429 Wallaroo Rd, Wallaroo (near Hall)
20 minutes north of Canberra’s CBD
Our 40 acre training facility is a full time, outdoor training area with free parking.
It allows us to give you the very best environment that is structured, safe and secure to maximize learning for you and your dog.
Puppy school and obedience classes are run on Saturdays.
In only a short amount of time, we will be able to teach you how to ‘master the art’ of training your dog and how to fix or manage any behavioral problems you may be experiencing with your dog.
