Next date: Friday, 18 September 2026 | 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Explore how thoughtful training, clear guidance and everyday decisions can support your dog to thrive, while contributing positively to the wider community.

Who should attend

This session is suited to dog owners at any stage, from those raising a new puppy through to owners looking to refine their dog’s behaviour in public and at home. It’s especially helpful for people who want practical ways to balance training with day-to-day management.

Why this matters

Responsible pet ownership supports not only your dog’s wellbeing, but also the safety and comfort of others in shared spaces. Clear guidance and consistent management can prevent common behavioural issues, strengthen your relationship with your dog, and help create a more dog-friendly community for everyone.

What to expect

You’ll learn practical approaches to training and management, including how to set clear expectations, support positive behaviours and make informed choices in different situations. The session will offer realistic, easy-to-apply strategies to help you confidently guide your dog in everyday life.
