Dog Training options at Scruffys

Add a little training to your daycare day

Daycare and Train

Led by a qualified trainer, this program offers a more structured version of our regular daycare day. Dogs are part of a smaller, focused group that follows a thoughtfully planned schedule of training-based activities, supervised play, and guided rest periods.

And the best part?
Each dog receives an individualised 1-on-1 training session during the day, tailored to their specific needs and skill level. This allows us to work on targeted behaviours — such as recall, drop, stay, focus, or polite manners — and helps reinforce learning in a real-world, distraction-filled environment.

A walk worth sniffing

Enrichment Walk

Sensory-Focused Outings with Added Fun and Mental Stimulation

Our Enrichment Walk Sessions go beyond the standard walk — they’re designed to engage your dog’s senses, stimulate their brain, and support their overall wellbeing.

Each session takes your dog to a location chosen for its variety of smells, sights, sounds, and textures — think nature trails, open fields, or quiet parks. We move at your dog’s pace, allowing plenty of time to sniff, explore, and decompress.

But the experience doesn’t stop there — we also include purposeful enrichment activities throughout the walk.

Helping Dogs Feel Safer Around Wheels

Wheel Wise

5-Session Behaviour Support Package

Does your dog bark, lunge, chase, or cower at the sight of bikes, prams, scooters, or skateboards? You're not alone — many dogs struggle with wheeled triggers. Whether it’s a burst of excitement or a reaction rooted in fear, this kind of behaviour can be stressful for both dogs and their humans.

WheelWise is a 5-session support package designed to begin the process of desensitising and building positive associations around wheels.

We Train the Trick

Trick Training Consultation

Want your dog to learn a cool new trick — without having to train it yourself? Whether it’s something simple like roll over or beg, or more advanced like dunking balls in a basket, riding a skateboard, or fetching specific items, this is where we start.

Our Trick Training Consultation is a private, trainer-led session designed to assess your dog’s learning potential, motivation, and suitability for the trick you have in mind. You don’t need to attend — we’ll work directly with your dog to see what’s possible.
