Puppy Preschool

Give your puppy the best start with our Puppy Preschool!

Welcome to Puppy Preschool, where your furry friend takes their first steps toward becoming a confident, well-adjusted, and well-behaved member of your family. Socialisation is key to a happy and healthy puppy, and our program is designed to ensure your pup is off on the right paw from the very beginning.

At our clinic, we believe in the power of positive reinforcement. That’s why we exclusively use training methods recommended by the Australian Veterinary Association. Your puppy will learn in a supportive, encouraging environment, setting them up for a lifetime of good behaviour and a strong bond with you.

Join Our Engaging Puppy Preschool Classes!

The critical socialisation window for puppies is between 3 to 15 weeks of age. This vital period shapes how your puppy will interact with other dogs and people, laying the foundation for a well-adjusted adult dog. Ensuring your puppy experiences positive social interactions during this time significantly reduces the risk of anxieties, phobias, inter-dog aggression, and antisocial behaviour.

Why Attend Puppy Preschool?

Whether you're welcoming your first puppy or adding a new member to your furry family, our Puppy Preschool is designed for everyone. Even though puppies in our classes are not fully vaccinated, it's crucial to introduce them to various dogs, people, and environments safely and under controlled conditions.

What Makes Our Program Stand Out?

  • Positive Reinforcement Training: Our program exclusively uses positive reinforcement techniques recommended by the Australian Veterinary Association, ensuring a kind and effective training experience for your puppy.
  • Expert Guidance: Our classes are led by our Registered Senior Nurse Jodie, who has over 23 years of nursing experience and additional education in behaviour and training.
  • Comprehensive Education: Owners will learn up-to-date training techniques, receive medical recommendations, and gain tools to develop a strong bond with their puppy. You'll learn to 'think like a dog' by understanding their body language and responses.
  • Clean and Safe Environment: Classes are conducted in a clean, disinfected space to ensure the health and safety of all participants.

Our 4-week course is designed to provide invaluable information and hands-on experience, guiding your fur baby in the right direction. We also provide treats during the classes to keep your puppy motivated and happy.
