deltoid Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 We have a 9wk old Silky Terrier and want to get him started in puppy pre-school. Can anybody recommend a good on on the northside of Brisbane (we live near Nundah). I've found one or two but without seeing any reviews it is hard to tell if they are any good.

huski Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've heard great things about the puppy class at PADS; http://www.pads.org.au/?q=puppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieW Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Pine Rivers club at Lawnton used to do a good one, don't know if they still do. 0410 638 212 or 0418 719 180 or [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I did PADS with my pup, its very good most of the work is done on lead the pups only get a short 'play' at the end, but they are very aware of how to let the pups interact etc, they are at Eatons Hill so its not too far from you They are an agility club but they have obedience classes to follow on from the puppy class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathq Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Another vote for Pine rivers at Lawnton. The lady that runs it has been doing it a long time and really knows her stuff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltoid Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys. Our pup is 10wks tomorrow. I'm considering two places for puppy pre-school. The first one doesn't start until the 23/02 (which will make the pup 13weeks when he starts). This place sounds really good though http://www.cleardogtraining.com/ The second one starts 14/02 which will make him 11wks when he starts, they also sound good but I don't think the trainer is a full-time dog trainer as the e-mail she provided is for a different business. I want to take him to the first one but I'm worried if 13 weeks is too late to start. Edited February 2, 2011 by deltoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Dog Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks guys.Our pup is 10wks tomorrow. I'm considering two places for puppy pre-school.

I want to take him to the first one but I'm worried if 13 weeks is too late to start. Scarlett started at almost 13 weeks (the previous class started the week before we got her). I've seen 8 week old in class and I'd say IMO 13 weeks isn't too old from a training perspective. From a socialisation perspective it's never too ear;y if all dogs are vaccinated. You can always start with some of the basics yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I only got Kyojin at about 12 weeks old, and he started training the following week. Definitely not too old at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
