Puppy School
5-week course · commences 10 October 2026
$275
Puppy School at DDCB is a confidence-building five-week course run by our certified trainer, designed around your pup's whole development, not just party tricks.
Classes are capped at just 5 puppies, so your pup gets genuine one-on-one attention inside the group. Our balanced curriculum covers everything a puppy class should, then goes further: correct puppy handling and hold, learning to settle and neutralise around distractions, and development across obedience, social skills, confidence and enrichment.
Run onsite at our South Brisbane enrichment centre by a team whose experience spans dog training, Detector Dog handling, vet nursing, behaviour and rescue.

Before you ask | FAQ
6-24weeks puppies | Puppies need a minimum of 2 C5 vaccinations to join group classes (bring proof to your first session).
Unsure about timing?
Message us - we'll tell you whether this intake or the next suits your pup best.
Small groups mean your pup actually gets individual attention, the trainer sees every puppy's progress, adjusts on the spot, and no pup coasts through unnoticed. It's the single biggest difference between a class your puppy attends and a class your puppy learns from.
We ask for 24 hours' notice to reschedule where possible; missed group classes can't be refunded, but we'll help you catch up on what was covered.
Kind, balanced training, no harsh punishment and no aversive tools, ever. Clear, consistent teaching across obedience, social skills and confidence.
