Available Courses
Canine Teens
These classes are designed for adolescent dogs aged between 4 months and 18 months old.
They are a great training foundation if you and your puppy missed puppy school as well as a great follow on from puppy school and before Canine Good Citizen Classes.
By using positive reinforcement methods, our aim is for you to learn how to keep your ”Canine Teen” calm and focussed out in the world and build a lasting bond together.
The classes run for 5 weeks and are 1 hour long sessions. Please call us for more information or to book in for our next class.

Puppy PreSchool
If your puppy is aged between 8 and 16 weeks and you would like to learn how to have a happy and well mannered family member, then Puppy Preschool is for you!
Classes take place during a critical socialisation period for puppies, and our puppy preschool experience is a wonderful way to positively influence your pup’s future.
Our caring and professional staff will help you to:
- Teach your pup basic behaviours such as come, sit, drop and walking on lead.
- Understand potential “puppy problems”
- Have fun socialising your puppy with new people and other puppies
Our class content is based on Veterinary behavioural science and is run by fully qualified instructors with many years’ training experience.
Courses run regularly for four weeks and each lesson is approximately one hour.
Classes are usually held on a Saturday morning or Wednesday evening in our fully enclosed undercover barn area.
We get wonderful feedback from all our puppy preschool class graduates, who feel it has made a fantastic contribution to their ongoing relationship with their puppy.
Please call us on 6557 0000 to be included in the next class or for some more information.
Dog Sports
Our Dog Sports class is held either on a Sunday morning or Thursday evening depending on the time of year. Dog Sports is a follow on to Canine Good Citizen and aims to maintain and improve on skills already learnt. It is open to all dogs who have completed CGC and usually involves a street walk followed by agility work in the yard (on or off lead depending on capabilities). If you have completed CGC in the past and would like to join in, please call Wingham and Valley Vets and we will place your name on the email list.
Canine Good Citizen
As there is a waiting list for our CGC classes, we advise that if you are interested you place your name on our books so that you can progress up the list.
Canine Good Citizen course is a 9 week positive motivational course that aims to produce a well behaved, socialised pet and an informed and respons
ible owner. Our classes are usually held on Monday evenings from 6.30 – 8.30pm and involve a “dogless” lesson one, a Street Walk on lesson 8 and an Assessment Day as lesson 9.
- The street walk is a fun and important part of the course
