PUPPY TRAINING

Congratulations on your new puppy! You’re about to begin an incredible journey and one of the most rewarding friendships of your life. At Master of Puppies, we provide expert puppy training in Gold Coast to help you build a strong, lasting bond from day one.

Without proper guidance, puppies can quickly develop unwanted behaviours such as excessive chewing, jumping, and house training accidents — leading to stress and frustration at home. Starting training early helps shape positive habits, builds confidence, and creates a calm, well-behaved companion you can enjoy for years to come.

What To Expect

Puppy Bootcamp – Foundations Course

A weekly group puppy class held at our Gold Coast HQ, designed to give your puppy the very best start in life.

Our 4-week Puppy Foundations Course runs on the same day and time each week, with a maximum of 6 puppies per class to ensure every owner receives personalised guidance and support.

This course focuses on building calm, confident, well-balanced dogs through early education, structure, and exposure. We place a strong emphasis on prevention — setting clear habits, boundaries, and communication from the beginning to avoid common behavioural issues later on.

At Master Of Puppies, we prioritise real-world outcomes. That means developing puppies who can remain neutral, composed, and responsive around people, dogs, and everyday environments.

What We Cover in the Course

What we cover:

• Management and safety in the home
• Effective communication and handler skills
• Building healthy habits from day one
• Confidence in new environments
• Exposure to sounds, surfaces, and obstacles
• Enrichment and engagement
• Appropriate socialisation
• Social neutrality around dogs and people

Each course begins with an in-depth educational session, giving you clear, practical guidance on structure, boundaries, and setting your puppy up for long-term success.

From there, we focus heavily on environmental development using our structured puppy obstacle course — safely exposing puppies to new surfaces, movement, sounds, and controlled challenges to build confidence and resilience.

A key concept we teach is social neutrality — helping your puppy stay calm and focused around distractions, rather than becoming overexcited, fearful, or reactive.

This is one of the most valuable investments you can make before your puppy reaches adolescence and begins testing boundaries.
