Our venue.

Welcome to Balfour Primary School, the perfect venue for our classes!

Our indoor hall ideal for perfecting smaller and static exercises, ensuring that both preoculation puppies and young vaccinated pups have a safe space to learn, even in rainy days.

The secure tarmacked playground is perfect for practicing lead walking recall, and encouraging socialization.

Plus, we have to a spacious field when we need a bit more room to play, along with convenient on-site parking and restroom facilities.

Ben Marle (& crew!)

I’m Ben, the head trainer at Ruff Squad, and I’ve spent more than 10 years helping dogs — and their owners — communicate, connect, and thrive together. With a strong background in canine psychology and clear, supportive communication, I specialise in training that’s practical, adaptable, and rooted in real-life situations.

I love working with dogs of all breeds and believe that a strong, respectful bond between dog and owner is the key to a happy life for both. I’m always up for a challenge and continuously expanding my knowledge to better understand and support our incredible canine companions.
