Teach your dog to ring a bell when they need to go out.

Trick School is six weeks of force-free, clicker-based training for dogs over 16 weeks. We turn the things you've always wished your dog could do (no more guessing when they need a wee, settling at the cafe, fetching the morning paper) into things they actually can do. Plus the fun stuff: spin, bow, roll over, take a bow.

Sounds like your dog?

For the dog who learns fast and likes a job.

Some dogs want a walk. Some dogs want a job. If you've got a smart breed bouncing off the walls (looking at you, kelpie owners), or a clever cross who's already learned to steal socks for attention, Trick School channels all that brain into something useful, fun, and frankly impressive at the dog park.

Donna Edmonds - vet nurse, trainer, scent-work obsessive.

Donna teaches every Pet School class herself, and Scent School is the one she'll talk your ear off about. Her dual background - Australian Accredited Canine Good Citizen Instructor and Qualified Vet Nurse + Nutrition Advisor - means she reads behaviour and body language at a level most trainers don't, which matters a lot when the "task" is invisible to you and obvious to your dog.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Trick School FAQ.

  • Do I need any equipment?

    No — we provide all the props and equipment. You just need treats, a lead, and a collar or harness.



  • What if my dog is reactive on lead? Can they still come?

    Often yes, but please call us first on (02) 9629 3282. For dogs that bark or lunge at other dogs on lead, Donna may suggest a private session before joining the group, or recommend Scent School first to take the social pressure off.

  • What vaccinations does my dog need?

    Your dog needs to be currently vaccinated (C5 minimum, C7 preferred), wormed, and on heartworm prevention. Bring your vet certificate to Week 1.

  • Can I bring my kids?

    Children 16+ can participate. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and stay seated during exercises. Maximum two people per dog inside the training room. Training works best when one person leads and the rest observe - too many handlers and the dogs looks at all of you, instead of one of you. 

  • What if I miss a week?

    We'll try to catch you up the following week before class starts. If you'll miss two weeks or more, it's better to roll over to the next cohort - the lessons build and skipping the middle bits doesn't work well.

  • What's your refund policy?

    Bookings are non-refundable but may be transferable. To roll over to the next class or transfer your spot to a friend, emailhello@kellyvillepets.com.au at least 48 hours before Week 1.

  • Where exactly is the class held?

    Inside our Beaumont Hills store at 1-15 Millcroft Way - about 15 minutes from Castle Hill. Free parking on site. If your class starts outside opening hours - ie after 6pm, please enter via the back door near the loading dock. Look for the Pet School signage at the back of the store.
