Drop-In-Classes

Price: R100.00 per session.

Please Note: Cash Only!

K9s of all ages and training levels welcome!

No commitment, just skills and smiles! Play and fun while learning!

Got a pup that needs training but don't want the pressure of a full course? Join our relaxed, fun drop-in sessions! Whether your dog is working on socialization with other dogs & humans, or just brushing up on obedience; we've got you covered!

Drop-In-Classes will follow no particular schedule; the Trainer will decide on the lessons on the day, and will lead you through them. And, while many of the lessons will come in the form of fun and games, you can rest assured that you and your K9 will come away having learned something new!

Saturdays, 10:30 to 11:30am.

All dogs are welcome, including those still learning social skills! If your pup has reactivity or aggression problems, a muzzle is required. Please also call ahead so we can make arrangements to support your dog's success!

Next Intake for Group and Drop-In* Classes: 21 February 2026

*Drop-In-Classes do not require registration but will run for the 6 week period alongside the group classes
