RSPCA Dog Training in Perth

Have you just welcomed a puppy into your life? Have an older dog who needs some training to work on their manners? Or do you just want to ensure you’re using the best positive-reinforcement strategies for a happy and well-socialised dog?

RSPCA Dog Training will teach your dog off-leash control, recall, toilet training, and basic dog obedience commands using positive techniques.

Level 2 classes are open to all Level One graduates who are ready to build on the new skills they learnt during Level 1 to take their training up a notch.

Working closely as a team, you and your dog will participate in games and activities to master more complex commands and techniques.

You’ll be teaching your dog to maintain focus when faced with greater distractions and at further distances than practised in Level 1, and by the end of the course, your dog will have mastered techniques that can be applied to a wide-range of real-life experiences.

Now you can both feel confident about your trips out in public together!

And, when you choose RSPCA dog training, you’re also helping to protect animals in WA from cruelty and neglect - with course fees contributing to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of animals in need.
