Our Services
Training
Private Assessment
Private Assessments $130.00 - available by appointment at mutually convenient time.
Assessments are held prior to dogs entering classes. This allows us to get to know each other on an individual basis thus will assist us helping you solve any issues you may have. Assessments take nearly two hours and we cover all aspects of our training philosophy as well as giving your dog a chance to learn how to interact with our dogs. This will prepare you and your dog for the activity of our off leash classes.
Puppy Schools
Initial Assessment
Cost $130.00 (allow time of 1.5 to 2 hours)
Firstly, all dogs and owners start out by having a private Assessment. This provides the chance to sit and discuss any puppy problems you might be experiencing, or perhaps you just want to learn how to avoid these troubles.
During the assessment we also help your pup build social confidence by meeting some of our own dogs. Here they have the chance to explore new play skills with our experienced and stable dogs before they enter the class environment.
Assessments can be held at a mutual convenient time, either evenings or during the day - we allow about 1.5 hours for an assessment with one dog and anyone in the family is welcome to come.
Puppy Classes - Cost $13 per class, pay as you go.
Our classes are ongoing, you can join in at any time and train at your convenience and when you and the pup are ready we can move you up to work in the adult class.
Adult Classes
Private Assessment - Cost $130.00 (allow 2 hours)
All dogs MUST attend an Assessment before commencing class. This is a private lesson where you and your dog have a chance to discuss any problems you might be having. It is also a good opportunity for you to get to build a relationship with your Instuctor which will help you feel comfortable in the class environment.
Sometimes adults dogs are not ready to cope with the class environment and during the Assessment we can trial this with one of our experienced dogs. If necessary then we can organise a few private lessons to prepare the dog for the social classes.
Private Lessons - Cost $60.00 (allow 45 minutes)
Workshops
Alfoxton dog training offers a variety of private sessions and workshops covering:
- Scent Work

- Rally Aggression
- Behaviour Issues
Boarding
"Dog Retreat" - "Catty Shack" - "Grooming Service"
Our kennels are not a big tin shed nor a converted concrete factory but a purpose built building to cope with a variety of weather and an easy access to the outdoor paddocks.
The solid brick and mudbrick walls as well as a low insulated ceiling, creates a comfortable internal temperature. Yet whenever we need we can open the laneway doors to allow fresh air to flow. We also avoid using chemicals around your pets, instead we rely on a blower, vaccum and pressure wash when needed.
Social Play Paddocks
Alfoxton is not like the average commercial Boarding Kenne, we aim to understand each and every dog and make them feel comfortable during their stay. Hence we don't offer different levels of services, after all, we think everyones dogs should be treated as GOLD customers.
