Structured Puppy
Training Classes
Bringing home a Wildcard puppy is the beginning of an incredible journey — but success doesn’t happen by accident. It’s shaped through time, consistency, and clear communication. One of the most important investments you can make in your dog’s future is enrolling in a structured puppy training class during the first few months at home.
Why Puppy Classes Matter:
Teaches foundational obedience and communication
Builds focus and engagement around distractions
Helps socialize your puppy in a safe, controlled environment
Establishes healthy boundaries, routines, and manners
Prevents behavior issues before they start
Early learning sets the tone for lifelong success — and working breeds like the Australian Cattle Dog thrice when they’re challenged, guided, and mentally engaged. Puppy classes provide that structure while helping you build a strong working relationship based on trust, clarity, and leadership.
We recommend choosing a class taught by an experienced trainer who understands the needs of a high-drive or working breeds. Looking for programs that include:
Positive reinforcement with structured accountability (understand of all 4 quadrants of training and how to affectively use them)
Real-life problem solving (crate training, impulse control, leash manners)
Opportunities for safe, age-appropriate exposure and socialization
Clear communication tools (markers, shaping, luring, ect)
If you’re struggling we are happy to recommend trusted training partners in your area if we can. If you are local we offer training at our facility.
Your puppy’s brain is growing just as fast as their body — let’s shape both with intention. Early training doesn’t just build obedience. It builds confidence, partnership, and success.
