About Furbabies


Furbabies Training School offers premiere puppy training classes (puppy school) and obedience and private training classes for dogs of all ages. We use effective, easy to learn and scientifically proven training methods. Our training philosophy is to work with dogs and their owners in a way that is respectful to both while still producing excellent results. Furbabies offers dog and owner-friendly dog training, with the emphasis on keeping things simple, straightforward and fun, and helping people to communicate clearly what sort of behaviour they would like from their dogs, without resorting to scaring their dogs or undermining the dog-owner relationship.

Classes are taught by Candi Moon, who is a highly qualified puppy and dog trainer and is Super Pup certified.


Furbabies was established in June 2008 and we are specifically geared to assist the dog and owner who live in an urban environment. A dog who barks all day in a town house complex presents a serious problem for owners and it is just these kind of issues that Furbabies was established to assist with and to help prevent.


What classes and types of training does Furbabies offer?

  •  puppy socialisation and training classes (puppy school), for puppies from 8 to 18 weeks of age
  • clicker classes for training older dogs in some basic manners and obedience, for dogs 5 months and older
  • fun, more advanced training classes for Furbabies puppy class and clicker graduates with Pro Pups 1, 2 and 3
  • private lessons for specific issues or reactive dogs
  • classes are taught using positive reinforcement, lure and reward, clicker, TTouch and other gentle training methods designed to make the training experience easy and enjoyable for both you and your dog
