Dog Training and Socialisation

Providing dogs with enough exercise and play is an important responsibility and it's great fun. If your dog is very excitable, short periods of play are best. Combine fun with training so the dog learns how to stop and start playing.

Barking dogs can be annoying for neighbours and the community. It is an offence to allow a dog to create a noise, by barking or otherwise, which persistently occurs or continues to such a degree or extent that it unreasonably interferes with the peace, comfort or convenience of any person.
