Puppy Socialisation Classes in North Brisbane
Puppy socialisation is one of the most important foundations you can give a young dog. The experiences your puppy has between 8 and 16 weeks shape their confidence, behaviour and emotional wellbeing for life. Intentional, positive exposure during this window helps prevent fear, anxiety and reactivity as they grow, setting them up to become calm, adaptable and well-mannered adults.
Our Brisbane puppy socialisation packages are designed to give your pup safe, structured opportunities to learn, explore and thrive during this crucial age, even when their vaccination schedule may not be completed yet.
What Your Puppy Will Experience
In these sessions, your puppy will be introduced to our two well-balanced, stable adult dogs, Oakley (our Golden Retriever girl) and Charlie (our Border Collie boy), who model appropriate canine communication and behaviour. Learning from other dogs is incredibly valuable for young pups, and these controlled interactions help them understand boundaries, play styles and social cues in a gentle and supportive way.
Every introduction is supervised and paced carefully to match your puppy’s confidence level, ensuring they feel safe while gaining real-world dog-to-dog skills. Alongside canine socialisation, your puppy will experience a wide range of environmental exposure and stimuli, including different sounds, surfaces, textures, handling exercises and short visits to safe new environments.
We maintain strict attention to your puppy’s partially completed vaccination schedule. We avoid high-risk areas and use controlled settings so your puppy can build resilience without compromising their health. Across the session packs, your pup will develop confidence, curiosity and essential life skills that will support them well into adulthood.
Our Puppy Socialisation Packages
All sessions are conducted at our training centre in Griffin, QLD, 4503. Choose the package that best suits your puppy’s needs and your schedule.

I highly recommend Michaela.Posted on Rickie RussTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with our puppy training session. Michaela took the time to really get to know our puppy and understand her personality, which made such a difference. She showed us a range of helpful commands and techniques that have already made things easier for us and for Koko. Michaela was incredibly patient, supportive, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole session. We highly recommend her to anyone needing guidance with their pup!Posted on Glynn HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michaela was absolutely amazing with our Jack Russell Pug. She took the time to explain her detailed approach before working her magic. She genuinely transformed the dogs behaviour in one session while showing us how to keep him on track. She is a dog whisperer!! Highly recommended.Posted on nick jeffreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Michaela highly enough. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine love for dogs is evident from the very first session. Our labrador went from being anxious and reactive to calm, confident, and responsive - the transformation has been incredible.Posted on Kerry ChapmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michaela Mason from Charlies dog training was awesome, really felt the love for our dogs, gave us some great feedback, and easy to do training with our pups. Would defiantly suggest going with them in the future. We will definitely follow up with Charlies dog training.

Her guidance with our scared and reactive dog has helped so much and we are already seeing improvements implementing what she taught us! I’m so excited to keep going with everything I’ve learnt and I wish I had reached out sooner!Posted on Anne KirbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have a younger dog, Murphy, coming into a household with a 14-year-old dog, Poppy. Michaela came to help as Poppy kept hiding away. She gave us so many tips on how to help rein in some of Murphy’s challenging behaviours, reassurance on the household dynamics, and a great plan to help with other behavioural challenges moving forward. Not even a week later and Poppy seems to be tolerating him more and more.Posted on Chloe HanlonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michaela is amazing at what she does. Michaela taught my partner and myself techniques for my pug puppy Dolly on how to get her to stop biting my other older pugs face. Michaela made me feel at ease and quite frankly I wish I booked her sooner. Thank you so much for everything, you are amazing!Posted on Keira SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had an amazing experience with this dog training service! The trainer was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Not only did they help address the specific behaviours my dog was showing, but they also took the time to explain why my dog was acting that way, which gave me a much better understanding of how to respond and support my dog moving forward. The session was informative, practical, and tailored to my dog’s needs. I left feeling confident and much more equipped to handle situations that had been stressing both me and my dog out before. You can tell the trainer truly cares and is passionate about what they do. If you're looking for professional, effective, and compassionate training — this is the place to go. I couldn’t be happier with the results so far!
