Three-week, small-group courses that take your dog beyond the basics, held at Surf Coast Rural in Torquay and Newtown Vet Clinic in Geelong.
There is nothing better than seeing your dog turn and run straight back to you instead of taking off in the opposite direction. Reliable recall, calm loose lead walking and rock-solid obedience around distractions are trained skills, not luck, and each has its own dedicated three-week course.
Every course runs as three weekly 60-minute sessions in deliberately small groups (three to five dogs) so each team gets individual coaching. All courses are force-free and reward-based, for dogs 7 months and up. Course spots are limited and bookings are essential; new intakes run through 2026, so contact Cam for the next dates.
Each course runs as three weekly sessions. Venue is noted on each date: Surf Coast Rural in Torquay, or Newtown Veterinary Clinic in Geelong. Bookings are essential.
Dates fill fast. Ask Cam about the next intake or call 0402 225 860.
Reactive dogs are best supported through the Reactivity Foundations course or private training; the other courses need dogs comfortable working in a group.
