FAQs Ashwood Dog Training
Do you provide private training in Ashwood?
Yes, we run private sessions in Ashwood homes, streets, and parks. These are ideal for everyday issues such as front-door greetings, leash pulling, or reactivity. Training your dog in their real environment helps ensure lasting results.
What’s the closest school to Ashwood?
Our Caulfield North school (around 15 minutes) and Ormond at Woofers World (around 20 minutes) are the most convenient. Both locations offer structured classes at different levels, so you can find a program that matches your dog’s age and stage.
When should I start puppy training?
The best time is between 8–16 weeks, while your puppy is in their critical socialisation period. Early training sets positive habits, prevents common problems, and helps your pup feel confident in new environments.
Do you offer training for adolescent dogs?
Yes. Our programs for dogs aged 4–18 months cover impulse control, recall, lead manners, and calm greetings. We help you work through the teenage stage so your young dog matures into a reliable adult.
Can you help with barking, anxiety, or aggression?
Absolutely. Our behavioural consultations are designed for complex issues such as excessive barking, reactivity, or aggression. We identify triggers and create a personalised plan that reduces stress and builds better behaviour.
Do you use punishment-based training?
No. We use only positive reinforcement, grounded in science and compassion. This means no prong collars, no e-collars, and no intimidation — just effective, kind techniques that strengthen trust and cooperation.
How long are training sessions?
Group classes usually run 45–60 minutes, giving time for both practice and feedback. Private sessions are booked in 1-hour blocks, with flexibility based on your dog’s focus and progress.
Can children take part in training?
Yes, we encourage family involvement. Children are welcome to participate as long as they can follow trainer guidance, which helps ensure your dog receives consistent cues at home.
Do you offer socialisation programs?
Yes, programs like our Breakfast Club and Saturday Social are designed for dogs that need confidence building or structured practice around other dogs. These sessions are closely supervised to keep learning safe and positive.
How quickly can we start?
Private training in Ashwood is often available within 1–2 weeks. Puppy classes and group programs book out quickly, so we recommend reserving early to secure your place.
