Private training and consultations

FurBuddies offers positive reinforcement private puppy training and dog behaviour consultations at your home operating primarily in the Table View, Blouberg, Parklands, Parklands North, Flamingo Vlei, West Beach, Big Bay, Melkbosstrand, Sunningdale, Milnerton and greater Cape Town areas. The curriculum is the same as that of our Group Puppy Training and Socialisation classes, but we can also design bespoke programmes suited to your specific needs.

Group Puppy Training and Socialisation classes

We also provide positive reinforcement Group Puppy Training and Socialisation Classes at our Puppy School training venue in Durbanville. The course is run over 4 consecutive Saturday mornings typically starting on the 1st Saturday of the month. Our venue has indoor and outdoor facilities enabling us to offer classes all year round. The added benefit of the group classes is that it helps your puppy build confidence and provides the opportunity for exposure to other puppies.

Dog Behaviour Consultations

Dog behaviour consultations are aimed at assisting you with issues and challenges that may exist or develop in adolescent adult, adopted or rescue dogs. We’ll set up an initial consultation at your home to discuss the challenges you are facing, assess the environment and interaction with other pets etc. Once we have a better understanding and insight, we’ll draw up a structured plan based on your unique challenges. Initial consultation time varies.

Great place to take your new puppy for his first classes. You will get great instruction and learn so much on how to train your pup. Interaction with others in a controlled environment. These classes are a must for any young puppy.

I would recommend the puppy classes for all puppies! It's great for bonding with your pup, teaching them valuable commands, and also socializing them from a young age.

As a first-time dog owner, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but attending these behavioral and socializing classes was an amazing experience. The sessions were incredibly informative and gave me the tools I needed to feel confident in my new role. ​The change in my pup, Benny, has been wonderful to see. He has learned so much in such a short time, but more importantly, his confidence has soared. Watching him go from his first day to interacting so positively with the other dogs has been the highlight of our journey so far. I highly recommend Juan(trainer) and FurBuddies to anyone looking to give their fur baby the best start possible!

Juan is so good with the doggies. Brodie made fabulous friends. The moms and dads also become friends. Solid puppy training to build on going forward. The word "look" has got Brodie focusing and will be used forever going forward.
