Course Requirements

Handlers and puppies who have successfully completed The Kintala Puppy school may be invited to commence training in the Kintala Club classes, which incorporate the Ideal Dogs of Australia (IDA) course.

If your dog has not previously trained with the Kintala Puppy School, we ask that you contact a Kintala approved instructor for preliminary training. You will then be recommended to complete the introductory sessions to ensure that your dog can learn well in our off lead environment.

Please contact admin@kintala.com.au to arrange times for your introductory sessions.
