Box Hill Dog Training School – Melbourne Dog Trainers –

Dog Training That Works for Box Hill Families

Box Hill is a vibrant, diverse suburb with a mix of apartments, family homes, and busy public spaces. That’s why our training is designed to help dogs succeed in real-world environments, whether it’s calmly walking through Box Hill Gardens, settling at a café, or greeting visitors at the door.

We work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, from excitable puppies to anxious rescues. Our trainers are experienced, compassionate, and committed to helping you build a calmer, more connected relationship with your dog.

Puppy School & Early Learning

Our puppy training classes are ideal for dogs aged 8–16 weeks. We focus on:

  • Toilet training and crate confidence
  • Socialisation with people and other dogs
  • Handling, grooming, and vet prep
  • Basic cues like sit, stay, and recall
  • Preventing problem behaviours before they start

Classes are small, supportive, and fun—perfect for setting your pup up for a lifetime of good habits.

Teenage Dog Training (4–18 Months)

Adolescence is when many dogs start testing boundaries. Our adolescent dog behaviour classes help you navigate:

  • Jumping, pulling, and overexcitement
  • Poor recall and leash frustration
  • Impulse control and focus
  • Calm greetings and polite behaviour

We’ll help you turn chaos into calm, without yelling, yanking, or outdated dominance techniques.
