Puppy Pre School

We are excited to introduce our puppy class with new trainers and new format. Our focus is around behaviour and socialisation and lots of fun! It has been restructured into 4 weeks and 3 categories, which include: How to look after my dog in general, most common behaviour issues, and training cues. There is treats, freebees, a graduation certificate and a framed graduation photo at the end of the course.

Puppies: between 8 weeks and 16 weeks of age, who have at least had their first vaccination. We are have courses running all year on Wednesday evenings.

May we introduce who is involved?
