Not sure where to start?
Whether you’ve got a puppy that needs the right start or an older dog that needs clearer guidance, our training programs are designed to deliver results. We help create calm, confident, well-mannered dogs, and give owners the skills, structure, and confidence to lead them for life.
Our K9 Kindy program is designed to build confidence, social skills, and good habits during the most important stage of development.
For older dogs or owners wanting personalised support, our 1:1 Coaching Sessions provide tailored guidance to improve obedience, behaviour, and everyday manners with a clear plan built around your dog.
K9 Kindy
6 Week Course
The truth is, your puppy isn't being naughty. They're learning. Every single day they're building habits that can last a lifetime. Those first few months are the most important learning period your puppy will ever have, and what they experience now will shape the dog they become.
That's why we created K9 Kindy.
One of Toowoomba's only drop-off and pick-up puppy training programs, designed for busy owners who want to give their puppy the very best start.

You collect them that afternoon...
...tired, enriched and one step closer to becoming the dog you've always wanted.
Meanwhile, you get to enjoy your day knowing they're learning valuable life skills instead of sitting at home finding creative ways to redecorate your house.

- Confidence around new people, places and environments

FAQ'S
What vaccinations and other treatments does my dog require?
Vaccination: Every guest must have a current C5 vaccination prior to checking-in. Pets that have not been vaccinated for more than 12 months must be vaccinated no less than 14 days before day-care. Vaccination certificates are to be sighted by a member of the Paradise Pet Retreat team prior to your pet entering the facility.
Flea and Worm Treatments: All pets must have had recent flea and worm treatment not more than 1 month prior to check in as per the Code of Practice for Boarding Kennels and Catteries. Any pets coming into Paradise Pet Retreat that are found to have fleas or worms will receive immediate treatment at the cost of the owner. We are located in a known tick area, so we highly recommended your animals are treated for ticks no more than 1 month prior to their visit.
Where does the training take place?
Our dog training takes place across our 35-acre property, offering plenty of space for your dog to learn and grow in a natural environment. To ensure a well-rounded training experience, we also take dogs on excursions to dog parks, vets, pet shops, and even Bunnings. These outings help your dog become comfortable and confident in various real-world settings, making their training practical and comprehensive.
I know my dog needs training, but I dont know where to start or what package to purchase?
That’s perfectly okay! Simply book a Training Introductory Call with us, and our expert trainers will guide you through the process. We'll assess your dog's needs, discuss your goals, and recommend the best training package to get you started. We're here to help every step of the way!
