What is Puppy Preschool?

During their early stages of life, dogs are incredibly receptive to learning crucial skills that will shape their behaviour and interactions in the future. These formative experiences greatly impact how your puppy will engage in play, communicate with both humans and fellow canines, and adapt to various situations as they mature into adult dogs.

Our 5 week Puppy Preschool is designed for pups aged between 8-14 weeks of age and offers an engaging and interactive behavior training program. It serves as the perfect foundational step for pet owners seeking to nurture a polite and sociable puppy.

Our Training Method

We employ positive reinforcement techniques to facilitate rapid puppy learning through the ‘clicker’ training method.

The ‘clicker’ is a compact handheld device used to pinpoint the precise moment when your dog exhibits desired behavior. Following the ‘click,’ a treat is promptly provided as a reward.

Over time, your puppy will form a positive association with the ‘clicker,’ eagerly responding because “CLICK = TREAT!”

Is My Puppy Eligible?

Our Puppy Preschool is open for puppies aged 8-14 weeks.

Before attending their first class, all puppies must have received at least one vaccination. Please schedule a vaccination appointment with us if required, or bring your certificate of vaccination as proof if this has not been carried out at one of our hospitals.

To ensure the well-being of all puppies in class, your puppy must be free from fleas, ticks, and worms, as this safeguards their health and the health of their fellow classmates.
