OBEDIENCE & SOCIALISATION

This class is designed exclusively for existing The Good Hound Company clients who have completed our in-home Behavioural Assessment & Training and are ready to level up with Obedience Training and Socialisation.

You already know how to lead your dog in a calm, confident manner and your dog already understands how to be calm and self regulate — now we build on that foundation in a controlled group environment!

Our Obedience & Socialisation class focuses on strengthening real-world obedience around distractions while continuing to develop healthy, neutral social skills with other dogs and people. This is not a free-for-all playgroup; it’s structured, purposeful training that helps your dog stay connected to you, even in exciting environments.
