PUPPY TRAINING
Embrace a positive, rewarding approach to puppy training with Al’s Pals. Designed to accommodate your pet’s pace, our sessions usually extend to 1.5 hours and make learning fun and effective—all in the comfort of your home. Sessions can be spaced 1-2 weeks apart for added flexibility. For clients outside our service area, a nominal travel fee applies.
BEGINNERS PROGRAMME
We offer a flexible four-week, one-on-one course for puppies from 8 weeks to 6 months old. You’ll typically receive 1.5-hour-long sessions, which can be scheduled 1-2 weeks apart, a puppy booklet, and personalised attention on specific training needs. For $399, upon course completion, enjoy a certificate and a special puppy pack.
ADOLESCENT PROGRAMME
Have a 6-18-month-old pup exhibiting behaviours like resource guarding or reactivity? Our specialised package comprises three targeted sessions, each spaced 1-2 weeks apart, to address these challenges before they become habits. The $450 fee includes video summaries that capture the essence of each training session.
GROUP SESSIONS
Our Pokeno-based group classes occur weekly and are a bargain at $299 for a four-week course. These sessions cover fundamental commands and include a special week dedicated to social skills. You’ll be equipped to continue training independently after the course. An optional at-home session is available for an added $70.
DOG TRAINING
CHALLENGES ADDRESSED
Feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s challenging behaviour? Al’s Pals is here to help with customised training packages that tackle a variety of issues, whether disruptive, annoying, or concerning.
OUR APPROACH
My goal is to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed for effective management of your dog’s undesirable behaviours. Initial consultations are conducted in the comfort of your home, where we’ll formulate a personalised training plan. While not mandatory, a series of 2-3 sessions is advisable for lasting improvement.
WHATS INCLUDED
Consultation fees stand at $199 and, in a shift from previous practices, now include video summaries that capture the essence of each training session. Follow-up sessions are available at $129, and also include on-site video summaries.
training walks
WHAT ARE TRAINING WALKS?
Training walks are an excellent supplement for owners implementing a behaviour modification plan for their dogs. They offer you the flexibility to focus on training as your schedule permits, while I step in to sustain the progress during the week.
GETTING STARTED
Before initiating the training walks, a consultation is mandatory to ensure you’re fully aligned with our training methodology and equipped with useful walking tips.
FLEXIBILITY & PACE
There’s no set number of required walks; we move at your dog’s pace to maximise effectiveness. These hour-long sessions include convenient home pick-up and drop-off, based on your specific instructions.
PRICING & PACKAGES
Pricing for training walks starts at $65 to $80 per hour, depending on your dog’s specific needs.
ADVANCED COACHING
Once your dog reaches a satisfactory level of training, we offer specialised coaching sessions. These are customisable based on your preferences and your dog’s progress. Coaching sessions are priced at $129 and also include on-site video summaries.
Pre-Requisites for all services
Vaccination proof is mandatory, verified by a vet book or clinic confirmation.
Payment is due prior to or on the day of the first session, accepted via bank transfer or online here.
