Takes Two Training at Beach & Bay Vet

Positive, modern training for every stage of your dog’s life.

Led by Shannon Campbell, founder of Takes Two Training, our classes offer a supportive and practical learning experience for puppies, juniors, and adult dogs. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in animal behaviour and care, Shannon brings advanced knowledge in supporting anxious dogs, reactive or aggressive behaviours, and pets with mental-health challenges.

As a Certified Delta Institute Trainer and Behavioural Consultant, Shannon combines science-based, fear-free methods with a deep understanding of how dogs learn and communicate. Her ongoing advanced education in aggression, separation anxiety, behavioural medication, and complex behavioural needs means every family receives informed, compassionate, and tailored guidance.

Puppy Preschool – Now Running

Our Puppy Preschool program is designed to give your puppy the very best start in life. These early weeks are a crucial learning period, and our classes focus on building confidence, teaching essential life skills, and helping puppies feel safe and secure in new environments.

In each class, families learn how to support their puppy’s emotional wellbeing through positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and age-appropriate socialisation. We cover foundational skills such as, calm behaviour, healthy play, toilet training foundations, lead work and much more! Focusing on how to prevent common behavioural issues before they begin.

Puppies also gain exposure to new sounds, people, dogs, and situations in a controlled and supportive setting—an important step in reducing future anxiety or reactivity. Shannon helps owners understand dog body language, manage overstimulation, and set puppies up for success at home and in the community.

By the end of our program, your puppy will have the tools to grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog, and you will feel empowered with the skills to continue guiding them long after graduation.

Junior & Adult Dog Classes – Coming Soon

We’re excited to soon introduce our Junior and Adult Training Programs, designed for dogs who need continued guidance beyond puppyhood. Whether you’re looking to sharpen manners, build confidence, or support a dog with emotional or behavioural challenges, these classes will provide structured, positive lessons in a calm and friendly environment.
