More puppies and dogs under 12 months of age are euthanased because of behavioural and socialisation problems than die of diseases or injuries. Recent research has shown that young puppies learn faster and have many less behavioural problems if they attend Puppy Preschool.
The main aim of Puppy Preschool is to socialise your puppy with people and other dogs. This gives them the social skills of the canine world. Dogs are traditionally pack animals, so they can't learn social skills by themselves.
Puppies are introduced to basic training (come, sit, stay, drop and heel) and taught to enjoy general handling, examination, grooming and medication. We also discuss any issues you may be having at home, how to deal with any phobias & anything else which may be confronting to them, toilet training, and give nutritional and parasite-preventative advice.
Puppy Preschool is suitable for puppies from 8-16 weeks of age. Classes run for one hour, one night a week for 4 weeks. Classes are kept small so that we can give each puppy individual attention. We strive to make the classes enjoyable for both the puppies and their owners.
Puppy Preschool classes do not replace routine obedience classes, but these normally start when puppies are 5-6 months. Puppies will not do as well in these classes if they have missed out on early training and socialisation.
Before puppies can start puppy preschool they must have started their course of vaccinations for distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus.
Puppy Preschool costs $85.00, including GST, for the four week course.
All puppies graduate with a certificate and receive a free gift bag, discount vouchers, food samples, toys etc.
