Time to train your pup? Here’s some Dog Training Clubs around Perth
There comes a time in every young puppy’s life where destroying socks and pooping indoors is something any loving owner can no longer tolerate. Fortunately for them (and you), Perth has a variety of different dog training clubs for varying levels of obedience training. Not only is it a great way to get you and your puppy pal on the same page, dog training clubs can also be really helpful for their social skills when it comes to hanging with other pups and people.
Kaizen K9
Kaizen K9 are quite possibly the most experienced dog training crew you’ll find in Perth with owner/operators Ben and Samantha having more than 25 years experience between them. The trainers use modern techniques to address a variety of issues you may have with your doggo like unruly behaviour, aggression, lead-pulling, jumping on people and separation anxiety to name a few. If you had any doubts towards their dog training bonafides they even work with police and military dogs – but they’ll absolutely sort out your brand new little pupper as well.
Dog Whispering
Dog Whispering is the brain-pup (see what we did there?) of Neri Karazija, who began the business travelling around Australia in 2005, before settling in Perth. Each year she goes to the UK to spend time with world-renowned wolf behaviourists Sean & Kim Ellis, so it’s fair to say she knows her stuff and is passionate about canines of all shapes and sized. Together with Dog Whispering fam Lisa and Nick, they offer a variety of courses around Perth and the eastern suburbs, including Behaviour Solutions, Puppy Training, In-Home Training and more.
