The Canine Classroom
School in Sunshine Coast

D&L Canine Services incorporates two great dog services; The Canine Classroom & Canine Master Groomers. By sending your dog off to Boarding School, you allow us to do all the handwork for you! We collect your dog from your home, have a detailed discussion on your training needs, care for and train your dog over the designated time period, and then return the dog to your home and complete the training process with a 90 minute private lesson. Boarding School for Dogs is ideal if you are going on a holiday and need your dog cared for and like the idea of getting them trained while you’re away; Or, maybe you have an over excitable, boisterous or demanding dog that you’re struggling to deal with. We also offer a ‘Lifetime Training Guarantee’ and do not put any set time limits on our classes; you pay for the standard you wish to achieve and progress at your own pace! Private Lessons can be conducted in the privacy of your own home or at a location selected by you. They are best suited to dealing with very specific issues the owner is facing with their dog or for owners who would prefer to invest their money into ‘one to one’ sessions. Most importantly our training focuses on ‘Socialisation & Confidence’ development and as we are not an obedience (trialing) club, we focus on everyday scenarios to develop a true ‘lifestyle’ dog. This training is unique to The Canine Classroom and will equip your dog with the necessary skills to be a friendly/social member of the community. Our other classes include; Basic (an introduction to effective training), Control (the most popular level), through to Advanced (Off Lead Control) training. Our puppy classes are designed to maximise this limited window of opportunity. The most important time for your puppy/dog is during the ‘Critical period for Socialisation’, which begins at 3 weeks and finishes at 14 weeks. We offer classes for Puppies from 8 weeks of age and encourage you to start as early as possible. At our Group Sessions you participate in activities such as; obedience, socialisation & confidence development &/or behaviour problem solving. Enjoy the convenience of picking which centre to attend, depending on your own commitments, rather than being locked into an inflexible ‘fixed time period’. Members are welcome to train at BOTH centres and can train as often as their lifestyle permits. Group dog training classes are conducted at our two training locations; Coolum High School on Thursday evenings & Kawana Waters College on Saturday mornings. Call or email us to receive your information pack or to reserve your place at this very informative session. The First Timer program runs most weeks however bookings are essential. We also conduct a thorough one to one temperament assessment of every dog before joining, to assist in tailoring a training solution that will assist in training ‘your dog to your requirements’. We offer a NO obligation FREE first session that you can attend to learn more about; who we are, what we offer the costs of our training packages and the opportunity to participate in your first training lesson.
