The Centre of Applied Pet Ethology (COAPE) International has one of the longest and most well-established histories as a top educational service provider in the animal training industry. 

Your puppy should have had his first vaccination and a dewormer at least a week before joining class. The critical socialisation period closes around 12 weeks of age in puppies. You may start training classes from 8-weeks of age.

We’re all about maintaining a pawsitive and upbeat atmosphere! We incorporate a blend of techniques such as shaping, luring, and capturing to assist your canine companion in achieving their objectives. Our ethos revolves around fostering a force-free environment, where the magic of positive reinforcement takes center stage, making every training session an enjoyable experience for both you and your pup!

We’ll keep you in the loop on what to bring for each session so you are always well-prepared for the class ahead. And just a heads-up, we’re all about positive vibes here, so no choke chains, prong collars, or any other not-so-fun tools allowed in class.

Yes, but parents need to take full responsibility for their children.

Children from the age of 12 years may participate in training, but this option is limited to puppies, small and medium-sized breeds.

Success in our program depends on various factors, such as your pup’s previous learning adventures, their “homework”efforts at home, and how swiftly they pick up on new things.  Both nature and nurture play a role.  Let’s chat more about this face-to-face!

We’re all about creating a pawsitive and respectful atmosphere for everyone in the class! No room for negative vibes and disruptive behavior. Let’s keep the good vibes flowing!
