PUPPY TRAINERS IN MELBOURNE
Please find all the information for our puppy classes below. Directly below are the links to book in a class. We release what spots are available each Friday morning for the following week. If this is your first class with us look for a link to our “first timer puppy class”. Classes at this time book out quickly and we release as many spots as we can each week. For all other information on our puppy classes such as times, costs etc please scroll past the eventbrite links and you will find all your questions answered there or call us on (03) 9723 4387 and we can answer any questions you have.
Hello everyone, below are the links to the bookings for classes for Thursday the 20th and Sunday the 23rd of May. Please note this week the classes go on sale at 12pm Friday the 14th May. This week we have again included some “spectator spots” for people who would like to bring another person with them to observe the class. There are 20 spectator spots for each time slot that we run classes for. You will need to book into one of the spots that matches your class time slot. At this time we are allowing only one spectator per dog/puppy. This week we have cut the number of 1st timer adults and1st timer puppies to 5 each to help us manage numbers. We understand that this will mean people miss out on getting into a first timer spot however we simply cannot continue to open spots if we cannot in good faith provide the appropriate level of service into the future. We hope people understand this. We will continue to open as many first timer spots as we can each week.
To attend a class click on the below Event Brite link for the class that is applicable to you. Classes are generally divided up into Age groups (sub or older than 5 months of age) and whether you have attended classes prior (if you haven’t attended a class with us before register for a 1st Timer class for your dog’s age group). Please read each class description to make sure you book into the correct class for your dog or puppy. If you are unsure which class will suit your dog or puppy, please call us to discuss.
Once you have completed the registration process you will receive a confirmation ticket, if you do not receive a confirmation email ticket the registration has not been successful.

We still have limitations on participant numbers and know that we cannot accommodate everyone at every session. Please continue to be patient with us and what we can offer. If you booked a class Thursday, please allow someone else to book in for Sunday or vice versa.
All bookings will be made via Eventbrite for the foreseeable future to ensure we maintain full records to support contact tracing if needed. We are working on allowing more than one handler/family member to attend however at this time we can still only allow one handler to attend with each dog.
If this is your first time attending a class with us we require an up to date copy of your pup/dogs vaccination records. To reduce contact as much as possible please send us a copy of your pup/dogs vaccination record on the link provided in the event.

“There is no more important time in your dog’s life than in the period from 6 to 20 weeks of age. For this reason, there is probably no more important training you will do with your dog than puppy classes.” Michael Garden
