The earlier you start training your dog, the better.
Puppies are excessively cute, can be a little bit naughty and without a doubt, provide owners a lot of love, entertainment and enjoyment. You can rely on Agile Dogs to promote proper dog ownership and help your puppy develop into a well-adjusted, sociable and happy dog with our puppy training school as well as private puppy consultations in-house or online via zoom. Training, experience and exposure to the world are all essential to your dog’s development, ability and confidence to exist and live in human society and the Community. But don’t just choose anyone; ensure that you choose someone that is highly experienced & knowledgeable with puppies to give you the highest quality guidance and expert advice. You can begin your puppy training with our pre-puppy consultations to ensure you & your home are set up and ready to introduce your newest member appropriately or book in a puppy consultation to address all puppy problems and arm you with the skills and knowledge of how to raise your puppy the best. From 8 weeks of age you can bring them to our puppy training school on Saturdays in Claremont or Sundays in Yangebup. For puppies aged 8-20 weeks we focus on socialisation and behaviour issues, social walking, sitting, standing, intro to dropping, recall, focus and more. The earlier you start training your dog, the better. Early introduction and positive experiences to everything during the critical period (3-16 weeks) are essential for a well adjusted and confident dog later in life and that’s why we offer a holistic range of services for your puppy even before you bring them home. Set your puppy up for life with our puppy training school!
We offer Pre-Puppy Preparation, 1 on 1 Consultations & Puppy Training School Classes.
Get the right advice! Socialisation during your puppy’s critical period (3-16 wks) is essential to lay the foundations for the rest of your puppy’s life. It can be confusing with all the different advice and information you receive about socialising your pup. Talk to us about how to socialise your puppy safely through their vaccination periods to ensure they get the necessary socialisation and experience to different environments, people, kids, dogs, machinery, noises and everything they will encounter through life, as well as installing essential independence early to avoid separation related behaviours and establish good leadership in your relationship for a happy and confident dog.
Saturday & Sunday Puppy School
Don’t just choose any Puppy School! Getting the right advice on Behavioural issues, proper Socialisation and correct training techniques is essential during your puppy’s critical period and beyond. Professional puppy training classes, run by a qualified, experienced puppy trainer are run on Saturdays in Claremont and Sundays in Yangebup for puppies 8-20 weeks of age. We focus on Socialisation and Habituation, Behavioural issues and basic obedience such as social walking, sit, stand, intro to drop, recall, focus and more to give your pup the start they need.
Pre-Puppy Preparation
Preparing for a puppy is often overlooked by eager, well-intentioned and soon to be puppy owners. However, it’s crucial to make the transition smooth and the welcoming of the new family member a positive, stress-free experience. Agile Dogs provide pre-puppy preparation consults which will provide you with information on puppy proofing the home, the best set up for your puppy, home enrichment, socialisation, leadership, independence, behavioural issues, toilet training, crate training, feeding and more, so you are ready and prepared for your puppy to arrive.

Dave is the best of the best. We had a pre puppy consultation where he went through our house & sat down with us to get us ready for our new baby. He has an absolute wealth of knowledge & is so proactive in his approach to training your dog. He is so passionate about setting up your puppy properly during the critical period so your dog has the best & easiest life possible.
We cannot wait to start going to his classes weekly! Thank you so much Dave.
Jasmine, Lakey’s Owner
Dave is awesome! he’s been helping me train our pup from very young, and she’s become the wonder dog we knew she could be! Dave is so patient with not only the dogs but more importantly the owners. Although we don’t have a “problem” dog I’ve seen him work with these and he does seem to have the magic touch. All dogs need their “hello” fix from Dave when we start our session at training.
Bronwen, Bindi’s Owner
My partner and I recently sought the help of Dave from Agile Dogs to help us teach our 18 week old large-breed puppy Sunny. Some of the issues we needed help with included potty training, over-excitement, jumping up on guests and pulling on leash. Dave’s knowledge and experience came across instantaneously, and within 1 private session we have noticed significant improvement to Sunny’s behaviour.
We really appreciated the fact that Dave doesn’t punish dogs for misbehaviour by harming the animal, which we were initially a little hesitant about.
Since that session we have begun taking Sunny to the group classes run on Saturday morning. Dave and his team are very welcoming, and it is evident from the large turnout of the these classes that we have chosen the right coach to train us and our pup.
Patrick and Marcelle, Sunny's Owners
We recently adopted a one year old rescue pup who had never been socialised so was fearful of just about everything. Dave came out to our home for a one on one session with our pup Dougie and within an hour he had learnt to sit, stand, drop but most importantly was remaining calm about other dogs walking by, kids riding bikes , walkers and even managed to a meet with
our next door neighbours dog without getting stressed. Dave was amazing with the calm and professional way he handled and managed him (and us :)) and provided great advice on his training, behaviour and diet. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough – he offers a fantastic professional service that is such great value for money. Looking forward to joining his group classes soon.
Rachel, Dougie's Owner
Dave is awesome, we take our Puppy Bailey every Sunday. Would highly recommend Dave for anyone looking for some puppy or dog training, he is very knowledgeable and a real dog person.
Mel, Bailey's Owner
A very big thank you to Dave, I cannot recommend him enough. He has got patience to explain everything to my daughter and our very excited dog Abby. Dave is by far one of the best trainers for dogs around.
Linda, Abby's Owner
I did intensive training with Dave & can honestly say he helped me so much & has changed our lives. Learning how to have voice control with a strong willed & physically strong dog was so valuable. Dave is a professional dog trainer who I would recommend to anyone in need of dog training. Thank you again Dave.
Belinda, Scuba's Owner
Agile Dogs are fantastic, Dave has worked with our 48kg staffy x mastiff, Garry for a few years now to help Garry with a number small social issues. I highly recommended Agile Dogs.
Jo & Di, Garry's Owners
Great training classes. Gave us clear guidance so that we grew our confidence in our training abilities for our over excitable doggo. Highly recommend.
