Dog Training
The RSPCA Qld Animal Training & Behaviour Centre offers a variety of programs to suit any dog, irrespective of age from puppy to adulthood.
All training programs use positive reinforcement training techniques which result in confident and well-adjusted family companions.
We focus on good manners, helping you to develop the skills to teach your companion any desirable behaviour required.
Home/Private training session: Can’t make group classes? Need help with a specific training issue? Experienced trainers are available to help you on request animaltrainingcentre@rspcaqld.org.au.
Behavioural Consultation: Does your dog or cat have really challenging behaviour? Can’t find your problem addresses in our other programs? A 1 1/2 - 2 hour consultation may be the answer for you. A detailed history is taken prior to the appointment so we can make the most of the appointment, and strategies will be put in place so that you can help your animal move forward. Please contact us for more detail animaltrainingcentre@rspcaqld.org.au.
