Why enrol 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 enroling 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. We ensure the classes are educational, fun and enjoyable for both you and your puppy.
Unleash your puppy's potential!
FAQs
How old should my puppy be?
Puppies are usually between 8 and 12 weeks of age at the time of the first puppy class. This is an 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. Programs may differ slightly, please check directly with your clinic.
Does my puppy need to be vaccinated?
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 your local vet today!
What do I need to bring to class?
Your 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.
Should I feed my puppy before class?
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.
