Whether you have a new puppy, a junior or an older dog in need of some extra lessons, Well Beings and From a Dogs View Training have a class to suit you.
We hold classes at convenient times, and welcome adults along with their kids so the entire family can learn along with your dog.

Course Information

Puppy classes are run on Thursday night at Well Beings in West Footscray. Current classes run at 7pm and 8pm. Groups may be staggered which means when the 7pm group graduates the 8pm group will move to the earlier time slot.

There are 7 puppies maximum in a course. Puppies must be between 8-14 weeks of age and have started their vaccination course. They do NOT need to be fully vaccinated before starting.

The Puppy Class Course runs for 6 weeks with the first being a theory puppy free lesson (approx. 90 minutes) followed by 5 weekly lessons (60 minutes). There is puppy play at the end of every lesson.

The classes are run in our new large purpose built space
Price for entire course is $250.00 (incl. gst)
