RSPCA School for Pets - Wacol

We have been going to the RSPCA School for Dogs since October 2020 and have sought out Sam as our trainer in particular, as Sam is an excellent trainer, who has helped train our 2 Dalmatians right from Baby Puppy School, Intermediate and now through the Advanced classes.I have nothing but praise for Sam, as she is friendly, patient, helpful and professional and we have enjoyed every one of the 25 lessons we have had with her & we look forward to them every week.I was actually going to ask if she has business cards to hand out, as I have been so impressed with her as a trainer, that I honestly believe other dogs and their owners would greatly benefit from her expertise and enjoy being in her classes.We are currently doing an Advanced class and hope to do more classes with Sam as our trainer.She is always happy to stay back after class and answer our questions & offer tips for our specific dogs who have their unique “quirks”. She also always asks for input on what areas we want to focus on or what goals we have for our dogs.We often get scoffed at for having 2 Dalmatians, but can proudly say that “No they are not uncontrollable” or “crazy” rather they are well trained Dalmatians, thanks to the guidance of their wonderful trainer Eg. There is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners who don’t get help from great trainers like Sam.We highly recommend RSPCA School for Dogs Wacol with Sam as the trainer.

Graeme, supported by Matt and Harry, was an excellent trainer who demonstrated significant patience and support for our dog. We all learned a lot and our dog has greatly improved his ability to focus, listen and remain calm in a highly stimulant environment!

My 1yo doggo and I just graduated the Foundation Class at Springwood. De was a great trainer - very informative and encouraging and had everything set up well. The class promotes positive reinforcement techniques which works well for us. The class was small (3 dogs), so it felt quite one-on-one.

We enrolled our puppy through both the beginner and intermediate puppy classes, and have been incredibly impressed with the level of service, quality, knowledge and the patience by all the trainers involved.We did the beginner class online during covid lockdown and De has just been phenomenal with her demonstrations and support via zoom throughout the entire the online learning course. She was so patient and still made the class feel very enjoyable despite it being online.We did the intermediate puppy class at Wacol and the trainers there were just absolutely incredible and supportive. Trainers Sam, Rachel and Lyndan were so helpful, patient and super friendly. Their explanation of puppy behaviour and demonstrations were so helpful and tailored to our individual experiences with our dogs.All trainers for both puppy courses continue to provide their support by showing their availability should we require further advice post-graduation, which is just so wonderful to know that extra support is there.Thank you so much RSPCA School for Dogs. It has been an amazing experience despite the whole weird world of covid, you guys have made training with our puppy so comfortable and enjoyable. We can't recommend you guys enough!

Highly recommend RSPCA School for Dogs. I first attended RSPCA school with my first dog 14 years ago and it helped me tremendously as a first time puppy owner.I recently this month started School for Dogs again with my new puppy and it has been so helpful again. All the training I need to get this crazy furry raptor under some kind of discipline.I especially want to mention Sam our School for Dogs trainer. She has been invaluable. I loved puppy classes with her as she is so full of love for the dogs and very patient and willing to answer everyone’s questions and individual issues. She has a wealth of knowledge and genuinely cares for her doggy and human students. I am starting puppy classes level 2 next week and hope to get Sam again as our trainer.

We took our dog for the junior course. Trainers are super helpful and good to work with. Great tips in class and outside. Our puppy needed a bit of extra help, and trainers took the time after class to talk to us about it.

We have a miniature dachshund, who has undertaken all 3 puppy courses in a 5 month period. We had our lessons at the Wacol location, with Sam and Harry as trainers. The program has been fantastic from start to finish. Lessons are always fun and engaging for dog and human alike. Our trainers always went the extra mile in making our dog feel at home, and offered valuable feedback to help improve our lives as dog parents outside of class. Sam as the lead trainer in particular was fantastic - she's polite, caring and always goes above and beyond to make sure any concerns we have were addressed. We highly recommend putting your dog through training here, even better if you can secure Sam.

Fantastic education for our pup and for us! It's been a breeze trying to train our pup with the correspondence, take home instruction and classes. Sam is a fabulous teacher and the volunteer assistants Harry and AJ do amazing work with us too. Could not be happier!

We have gone through multiple different puppy programs with RSPCA School for Dogs and they've always been fantastic! Highly recommend them for all training needs. Even the latest virtual puppy school has been great.

We took our first puppy Gatsby to School for Dogs for Baby Puppy class, Intermediate Puppy class and Life Skills training. I cannot begin to recommend them enough!! We did our classes with Sam and she was absolutely fantastic. We learnt all our positive training foundations from her. The classes were small and very individualized and were focused on not only training but more importantly enrichment, dog body language and socialization. We didn’t live close by but the drive was 110% worth it. Such a beautiful, nurturing, encouraging team!! And Gatsby just adored them too!
