Puppies Downunder Expert 'Oodle Breeder Damian Maddaluno
I always tell my customers to check out Kira’s free video on getting ready for their pup’s arrival – it’s spot on. I also strongly recommend they dive into the rest of her puppy training videos. They’ve got heaps of must-know info I want every new dog owner to have.
Puppy Classes
Teach your puppy to settle, focus on you, and follow commands around distractions and other dogs. It’s easier while they’re young! Train key commands like drop, stay, on your bed, and come, while sharing valuable experiences with other puppy owners.
Private Sessions
Private puppy training offers a flexible timetable and family-friendly sessions in your home. Tailor the training to fit your lifestyle and focus on your puppy’s unique needs. 1-to-1 training is the perfect way to get personalised advice and direct answers to all your questions.
Socialisation
Prepare your pup for real dog parks while keeping them protected until vaccinations are complete. Socialisation sessions build confidence for both puppies and their parents in a safe, facilitated space. Socialising is essential to prevent reactive or aggressive behavior towards unfamiliar dogs later on.
Online Learning
Our online recorded puppy training lets you start immediately, with no waiting for classes to begin. Select relevant chapters and replay demonstrations as many times as needed. Share videos with family and watch at your convenience, all in your own time.
