General Questions
Do you offer group training?
Yes we do!
We offer different group classes based on your dogs age and sometimes their existing skill level!
To know what to book in to, here is a quick guide:
If your dog is under 16 weeks of age, you are looking for "Puppy Magic!"
If your dog is over 16 weeks of age, you are looking for "Best Mates!"
If you have completed "Best Mates!" with us or one of our trainers has done an assesment with you privately and advised you to do our intermediate training, you are looking for "Unleashed!"
Do you offer private training?
Yes we do!
We offer 1-1 sessions, In-Home Training and Dog Walking Services. Have a look at the Private Training tab on our website homepage or in the Bookings page for more information on each of them!
I would like to socialise my dog, can you help?
We certainly can!
Due to the fact that we run group classes for dogs of all ages, you can rest assured we have a spot for you somewhere!
All of our group classes generally have between 8 - 12 other dogs/people and 1 - 2 trainers.
Are there any spots left in this course?
We do often book out, however, you will be able to tell if a course has space left in it by starting the booking process.
If, when you click on the service you would like it says, "This Service is Unavailable for Booking", that means that it is booked out!
If the service you want is booked out, have a look at the next set that are starting.
Do you have experience with my dogs breed?
We sure do!
Bonnies has been in business for over 46 years so you can feel very confident that we have dealt with your dog's breed many times and have acheived great results!
Is there support after we complete training?
There sure is!
After you complete a course with Bonnies, you receive a "Gold Card" with your certificate, this entitles you to contact Bonnies for the entire life of your dog to ask questions, receive guidance and organise further training, tailored to your specific wants and needs.
How do I book in?
It's super easy to book in!
All you have to do is click on the service you would like to book in for and click "Book Now". You will input some information like you and your dogs names (This is so we know who you are when you show up and we can tick you off!).
It will also take you through the whole payment process on our secure checkout!
If the "Book Now" button is instead replaced by "The service is unavailable for booking", it means that particular service is fully booked!
How often do you start new courses?
We start our Puppy Magic courses every 2 weeks at The Gap and every 4 weeks at Red Hill and Aspley!
We start our Best Mates courses every 3 weeks at The Gap!
If, for example, you are getting your pup in 4 weeks time, you may not see a class on the website yet for that time. All you have to do is wait and the new classes will go up shortly as previous ones finish!
What course is right for my dog?
If you have a new puppy between 8 and 16 weeks of age, you are looking for our Puppy Magic Course! It is based around teaching you how to begin your happy life with your new friend and teaches you all about fixing and managing all of their puppy behaviours, like chewing and mouthing, jumping up, etc.
If you have an older dog, older than 16 weeks of age, you are looking for our Best Mates Course! It is our 6-week, general obedience class, based around teaching you and your dog commands such as sit, stay, stand, drop/down, recall, etc.
Go and find these courses in Our Services or on our Bookings Page. It will give you more information there!
Can multiple people attend with the dog?
Yes! You can certainly bring along your family to learn all together, however, if you are doing Puppy Magic, it can be a little bit of talking and some young children may get a little bit bored, so just keep that in mind!
We ask that all kids under the age of 12 have somebody with them, not including the person training the dog, so that the person training can focus on their dog.
