Puppy Training + Foundation Learning -not just for pups

Brisbane Puppy Training. Teach your pups their foundations.

Private Puppy Confidence and Exposure Training

Looking for a real world puppy training school that teaches your puppy more than just “sit”?

Mary Puppins  Brisbane delivers foundation puppy socialisation training courses, designed to give you the skills to successfully raise your puppy to be the reliable, well mannered and obedient adult dog you want.

From socialisation to strange sights, surfaces, people and animals, our North Brisbane based puppy socialisation courses will show you how to guide your puppy through the human world and become a confident, well balanced dog.

Did you know puppies have a critical period of development up to 16/17 weeks of age that all of this needs to happen in. Many people believe socialisation means exposing your puppy to lots of dogs and handing puppy around to lots of humans after their 3rd vaccination. This couldn't be further from the truth. Have you ever heard of a neutral dog? This is what we are aiming for. To create a calm, confident puppy who believes in their abilities in whatever environment we expose them to in life.
