About Us
New Doggy school, known as Doggy Home Schooling and Socialisation. The Doggy school was established in December 2019 by Ilona Kruger after completing her Canine Behaviour and Training Instructor’s Diploma at Pet Sense College (https://www.petsensecollege.co.za/canine-diplomas/).
I (Ilona Kruger) wanted something different than the ordinary Dog Schools and came up with the idea of having a Doggy Home Schooling and Socialisation school. These lessons will be seen as private lessons (one/one), Training the trainer.
In today’s world everything seems to be a rash and can tie you down. To have training done in the convenience of your dog’s own home without leaving home to take him to a dog school is a privilege. Not only does your dog get personal attention but you would be able to discuss behavioural issues your dog has with out feeling judged by other dog owners. The instructor becomes your and your dog’s personal trainer.
Centurion area only at this stage – Amberfield, Rooihuiskraal, Wierda Park, Eldoraigne, Lyttelton.

Since I was young, I wanted to work with dogs. When we went to the circus, my favourite was the fluffy doggies. I’ll go home and expected our dog to do the same.
I’m in that time of life that I would like to live my dream. I took my dog (Cadbury – now 5yr) through all the classes from Puppy to CGC Gold and Tricks classes at McKaynine Training Centre in Midrand. I stayed on for two years as part of their crew to assist with Puppy Class.
In 2019 it was time to reach for my dream, I enrolled at Pet Sense College for Behaviourist and Instructor. Passing with Merits and decided to start my own unique Doggy Home Schooling & Socialisation.
I have completed my Advanced diploma – Applied Animal Behaviour (Canine) – passed with Merits – during the 5-month COVID lockdown 2020. (Time well spent) Will start advising on unwanted behaviours soon.
I’m also involved with Therapy Dogs, I’m a member with “Touch Our Pets – Therapy Dogs” known as “TOP Dogs”. Going now for my sixth year with TOP Dogs. My aim is to train therapy dogs in South Africa.
