Why enroll in our Puppy School classes?

Puppy School isn’t just a fun activity for you and your new furry friend-it’s an essential investment in their future wellbeing and your happiness together. During these crucial early weeks of life, puppies are like sponges, absorbing everything around them and forming habits that will last a lifetime. Our program uses positive reinforcement training and appropriate socialisation, the gold standard in training endorsed by veterinary behaviour experts worldwide.

By enrolling in Puppy School, you’re not just teaching your puppy basic commands; you’re laying the foundation for a confident, well-behaved adult dog. Our classes provide a structured environment for your puppy to learn and grow, all while strengthening the bond between you and your puppy.

With small class sizes and knowledgeable guidance, you’ll have the support you need to navigate puppyhood with confidence.

FAQ’s

Please contact our team to see when our next classes start!

Puppies should be between 8 and 12 weeks of age at the time of the first puppy class. This is the optimal time for training and ensures all puppies in the class are socialised in a safe environment that is appropriate for their age and size.

Puppies must have had their first vaccination to be able to attend Puppy School. This ensures all puppies in the class are socialised in a safe environment. If your puppy requires vaccination, book an appointment with our healthcare team today!

We have a strict clinic policy requiring every puppy who attends our classes is up to date with their vaccinations. We clean the area prior to classes to create a safe space for our puppy guests.

Our instructor will notify you prior to classes commencing of what you will need to bring to your classes. This will include things like a suitable collar and lead for your puppy, training treats, and other items as recommended by your instructor.

It is recommended that your puppy doesn’t come to class with a full belly! This makes them less susceptible to pay attention to you and your tasty rewards.

Please talk to our team to book your puppy into Puppy School. You can either give us a call or pop into the clinic.
