Raise a Calm, Confident, Well-Behaved Puppy — Without the Guesswork
Our 6-week puppy training program is designed to give you clear structure, proven training methods, and real-world results—whether you're starting fresh or already dealing with common puppy challenges.
Using modern, science-based training inspired by Karen Pryor Academy principles, we focus on building behaviours you want—not just stopping the ones you don’t.
✔ Small group sizes (max 6 puppies per class)
✔ Step-by-step weekly progression
✔ Real-life skills that actually transfer to home & public environments
✔ Support beyond the class with structured homework and guidance
By the end of 6 weeks, your puppy will be calmer, more focused, and able to perform key foundation behaviours—even around distractions.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Most puppy classes focus on basic obedience in a controlled environment.
We go further.
✔ We focus on how dogs learn
You’ll understand the why behind behaviour—not just what to do—so you can confidently train beyond the classroom.
✔ We prioritise calmness, not just commands
Anyone can teach a sit. We teach puppies how to settle, regulate, and make good decisions.
✔ Structured socialisation (done properly)
No chaotic “puppy play sessions.” Your puppy learns to be calm and confident around other dogs, not overexcited or reactive.
✔ Real-life application
Training is designed to transfer into:
Your home
Walks
Cafés
Everyday life
✔ Tiered support for real results
Unlike standard classes, you can choose a level of support that matches your needs—especially if you're dealing with biting, jumping, or high-energy behaviour at home.
What to Expect.
Cameron’s puppy training classes provide early guidance on developing good manners, building confidence around new experiences, and ensuring your puppy has a positive start to life. Each session builds on the last, helping puppies learn to stay calm, engaged, and responsive in a variety of situations.
The classes are designed to set puppies up for success—socially, emotionally, and behaviourally—through gentle structure and encouragement.
Classes are conducted at Surf Coast Rural- Indoor and Outdoor.
