Wonder Pup

Our Wonder Pup Program is suited for pups aged between 8 to 20 weeks and is a One-on-One Tailored Training Program.


These first few weeks can be a big adjustment for everyone and it’s so important that we start our puppy’s out on the right foot. The first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life are called the Critical Periods of Development and are instrumental to how they will develop as an adult dog. Every experience and emotional response during this time has the ability to last a lifetime.

It’s also a time that we can learn to advocate for our pups by making the experiences of meeting other dogs and people and being in new environments a positive one while also making sure your value stays extremely high.
We are balanced trainers Nationally Accredited in both Training and Behaviour and are open to using to right tools, systems and techniques for you and your pup.
To begin your Training journey, we will either come to your home or get you to bring your pup to the Mackay K9 Training Centre in Glenella and hold an Initial Consult. This runs from 1.5 to 2 hours and is valued at $250.


Please note: Payment for Initial Consults are required within 24 hours. We have limited appointments and these book out for at least 5 weeks in advance.


The Initial Consult gives us the opportunity to meet yourself and your pup and through a Behavioural and Temperament Assessment gain a better understanding of your pup’s traits and personality and any issues they may be facing. The Consult also includes a Training session where we will start to work on any specific issues as well starting to lay the foundations of Reward Systems, Engagement Training and Obedience.
If you would like to continue with training this is then followed up by our 6-week Wonder Pup Program which is valued at $645.00. We are more than happy to arrange personalised payment plans which will consist of weekly instalments over the duration of your program.
