The dog training conducted here at WoofPurNay is dynamic, fun and energetic. Covering all aspects of training, the trainers will work with you and your dog so that your dog fits in with your lifestyle.

Doing any kind of dog training will help to build a strong bond between you and your dog. And if all family members come along and join in the training too, your dog will respect everyone in the family and feel part of your ‘pack’.

Whether you're just after the basics, or would like to challenge yourself and your best friend and enrol in our advanced obedience or trick classes, or need a one-on-one behaviour consult, we can help from start to finish.

Using the grounds around the building when the weather is nice, and the large entrance foyer when the weather is not so nice, means that training can take place all year round.

To book into a training program for you and your dog, or to enquire, please contact our friendly reception staff.
