Puppy school

 

Teach your new puppy how to be a well-adjusted member of the family with our Puppy Pre-school

There are many benefits to teaching your puppy to be well behaved at an early age. Young puppies are quite able to learn obedience skills, toileting behaviour and social boundaries. All of these things help make your relationship with your dog more rewarding for the years to come.

The most important thing about Puppy Pre-school is 'start early'. Waiting too long can allow behaviour problems to establish, which then require more intensive training to overcome.

We provide an effective Puppy Pre-school program for puppies that visit our clinic. With our progressive and positive learning techniques, you will:

  • Develop an understanding of normal puppy behaviour.

  • Learn how to read your puppy's body language and respond appropriately.

  • Develop effective techniques for positive behavioural development.

  • Learn important tips about walking in public areas.

  • Understand the need for socialising your puppy.

  • Teach your puppy some important 'do not' lessons

  • Understand important boundaries when playing together.

  • Develop strong bonds between you and your puppy

Classes are suitable for puppies between the ages of 8-16 weeks who have had their first vaccination. There are 4 x 1-hour sessions over the course of 4 weeks.

Please note that our puppy preschool classes take place upstairs and this is away from the hospital areas. Our puppy preschool is available regularly early in the evenings during the weekdays. However, disability access to upstairs may be limited; we offer individual sessions with puppy group socialisation for these occasions.
