Let The Conversation Begin For The Puppy Behaviour You Want
Puppies are gorgeous! They might also chew and bite and wee and bark. Puppy Talk is here to show you simple, kind, and effective ways to manage common puppy behaviours.
Now is the time to start! The first four months of a pup's life are particularly influential on the dog they will become. During this period of a dog's social and emotional development, your puppy is open to exploring, learning, and experiencing the world in a way that will not be repeated.
Puppy Talk Founder, Julie Whitmore, completed studies with the Karen Pryor Academy. Julie utilises kind, force-free, rewards based, positive training methods. Julie focusses on the 'golden period' or the first 17 weeks of puppyhood. Early puppyhood is a critical time for socialisation, puppy learning and confidence building.
To create a lifetime bond with your pup consider enrolling in some Puppy Talk Puppy Classes. Our classes are small, bespoke, with supervised interactions, and held in an indoor facility with a professional Dog Trainer. We provide classes to pups from across the Canberra region. Whether you're Northside, Southside or in the Queanbeyan region you'll find us centrally located in Symonston, ACT.
Through bespoke, interactive and safe professional puppy training we build confident owners and confident pups.
Puppy Talk specialises in training pups under 17 weeks of age. We understand the importance of this 'Golden Period' of puppy development. Positive experiences during this period shape your dog's future.
With Puppy Talk you will gain skills and knowledge to become a confident and capable dog owner.
Classes are held at the ACT Companion Dog Club facilities in Symonston, Canberra.
