You do not need an experienced competition dog to begin. Sessions are shaped around the dog in front of us, whether they are having their first try, building confidence or preparing for a trial.

FOR BREEDERS & YOUNG DOGS
Small challenges. Big confidence.
Fortuna Park offers practical enrichment experiences for breeders who want to give puppies safe, positive exposure beyond the home environment.
01
Confidence run
A narrow, fenced trail with changing surfaces, tunnels, steps, wobble elements and everyday objects for puppies to investigate at their own pace while the breeder walks alongside.
02
Property socialisation walk
A guided 45–60 minute experience around the property, offering appropriate exposure to space, natural surfaces, livestock, birds, people and the sounds of rural life.
03
Breeder development visits
Bring a litter or small group for age-appropriate experiences without turning the visit into an overwhelming puppy class.
See facilities, club options, travelling bookings and current pricing.
Practical experience across training, competition and judging
EXPERIENCE AT THE OTHER END OF THE LEAD
Guidance grounded in real dogs.
Lauren Ferguson is an NDTF qualified dog trainer, Veterinary Nurse, dog groomer, registered breeder and experienced competitor. As a Junior Handler Judge and dog sport judge, she brings practical behaviour, presentation and welfare knowledge to every session.
Tell us your dog's age, breed, experience and what you would like to work on so we can recommend the right starting point.
02
Bring safe equipment
Dogs should arrive on a secure lead with a well-fitted collar or harness, plus high-value rewards if they are food motivated.
03
Weather comes first
Outdoor sessions may be rescheduled when conditions are unsafe. Training does not proceed in temperatures above 32°C.
04
Give other dogs space
Keep your dog secure and wait for directions before entering a training area. Dogs are worked separately unless a small-group session has been arranged.
READY TO LET THEM HAVE A GO?
Start with the dog in front of you.
You do not need to know which level to book. Tell us a little about your dog and what has caught your interest, and we will help choose the most useful first session.
