Brigitte’s Dog School, located in Toolern Vale, is a premier dog training facility dedicated to fostering positive relationships between dogs and their owners. As an accredited member of the Australian Association of Professional Dog Trainers Inc., the school offers a variety of classes tailored to dogs of all ages and training levels. The training sessions are held in a fun and engaging environment, allowing both dogs and their owners to enjoy the learning process. With a focus on early training, Brigitte’s Dog School emphasizes the importance of starting training between 6 to 16 weeks of age to ensure dogs develop into well-adjusted companions.
The school provides a comprehensive range of services, including Puppy Classes for young dogs aged 8 weeks to 4 months, where socialization and manners are prioritized. Additionally, the 10 Week Basic Class teaches essential obedience commands and manners, while the Intermediate/Advance Class caters to those who wish to further their training. For dog owners looking for a social experience, the Social Class offers group walks and activities. Furthermore, Brigitte’s Dog School is committed to community support through its Assistance Dog Program, designed for individuals suffering from PTSD or severe anxiety, as well as for families with autistic children.
Founded by Brigitte, who has been in the dog training industry since 2004, the school is built on the philosophy that early and ongoing training can prevent behavioral issues in adult dogs, leading to happier family pets. The team of experienced instructors, including Cathie, Prue, and Denis, share this vision and are dedicated to providing high-quality training based on science-backed techniques. Brigitte’s Dog School not only aims to teach obedience but also to create a sociable and enjoyable experience for dog owners, making it a valuable resource for the local community.
