  1. Yeah she told me yesterday, probably thought you were a stalker lol. Thanks, she's got a batwing mask! :) It's good she's friendly now, because at Puppy Pre-School she didn't get along so well with the others... I'll hopefully come on Tuesday, hopefully your trainer is a little more cheerful! I found 2 dog parks today, and sussed them out with my other dog. One in Doonside called Bunagribee Park. Pretty big fully fenced and off leash, has a tap and doggie bags as well, I also went to one in Pemulwuy that had agility stuff and tunnels and things, I'll be taking Marlee shortly. Finger Crossed!
  2. Haha yeah that was my sister, she's taking her to training atm. I don't think she knows about this forum. Hopefully I can come next week. She said there were about a 100 dogs there? Must be good if that many are there?
  3. Thanks! Nah haven't contacted them yet, might give them a call. Thanks
  4. Thanks for the suggestion mate, I'll give them a call to sus out the details before the 1st Tuesday. Just one question is $75 for the year (or part there of)? Or are there additional costs? I took her to USYD (University of Sydney) Puppy Pre-School. It costed $160 for 5 weeks (1st is Puppy Free). They use click training and positive re-enforcement. There are 8 dogs all up, which are all around the same age. They give you a certificate of graduation at the end. The trainer was Kelly. She also runs her own business called "Love on a Leash". I think it's good for socialisation and getting to know how your dog relates to other dogs, new people and surroundings, something that you might not be able to do until fully vaccinated... which may be too late! I think those who have never had a dog before will benefit from it the most, as a lot of material is given. However like all forms of training, if you don't bother to do anything outside the classes at home, you won't get much out of it or your money's worth. If you have a look on the FB link below under the album "Class of Monday, 11th February 2013" you can see what it's like, or any other album there... There were mainly small less active dogs in my class, but this can of course differ from class to class.

That's a second suggestion for bktc (assuming they're the same?). Yeah I know what you mean, travelling from the west to the city with a pup in peak hour traffic wasn't the easiest thing! Maybe I'll see you there ~ Anyway here's a pic of her graduation certificate:
  5. Hi guys, 1st post, I've just heard about this forum. I have a 3 month old pure breed Husky who is 1 lesson away from finishing puppy pre-school, however I would like to take her to the next stage as she has socialisation problems and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good trainer that has experience with Huskies in the greater western Sydney region? Also does anyone know of any decent dog parks in Western Sydney? Here she is at about 2 months old: She isn't my first dog, but she is my first energetic dog. Cheers
