PUPPY AND DOG TRAINING

Got a new puppy or a dog who’s hard work?

Struggling with pulling on the lead, ignoring recall, or general chaos

We get it—raising a pup or teaching a dog new tricks isn’t always a walk in the park.

Start strong with fun, reward-based training that builds real-life skills.

Small, friendly classes. Big progress.

1-2-1 BEHAVIOUR PACKAGES

Big behaviours need more than a one-off fix.

Whether it’s barking, reactivity or pulling on lead, our tailored packages give you the time, support, and structure to make lasting progress.

Step-by-step help. Personal plans. Real-life results.

BOOK A 1-2-1 OR FIELD HIRE

Need tailored support or a safe space to train?
Book a 1-to-1 session in behaviour, agility, hoopers, or scentwork — or hire our secure Oakley field for your own solo practice.

We train through play.

At The Canine Hub, we use a “games-based” approach to dog training. Short, fun, three-minute games help your dog learn to make the right choices naturally — through repetition, rewards and engagement. It’s effective, enjoyable, and helps build real-life results and stronger bonds.

Your dog will develop better behaviour. You’ll grow together as a team. You’ll learn, play, and connect with a like-minded community of dog lovers.

We offer flexible training options including:

One-to-one sessions at our field in Oakley

Weekly group classes

A growing library of online courses

Friendly support via our private Facebook groups

Wherever you are in your dog training journey, we’re here to help every step of the way
