Puppy Pre-School is a fantastic programme that helps your puppy develop social skills, learn acceptable behaviour, and verbal commands in a safe controlled environment as well as teaching owners what they need to know about their new puppy.

Puppy Pre-School is designed for puppies between the ages of 8-14 weeks. Puppies of all breeds and sizes are welcome to attend.

Pet Doctor’s Puppy Pre-School classes are held at our Woodville clinic on  Wednesday evenings from 7pm until 8pm.

Classes run for four consecutive weeks.

The aim of Puppy Pre-School is to:

• educate owners on socially responsible pet ownership;
• teach owners about normal and abnormal puppy behaviour;
• teach owners a humane training method to assist them in training their puppies;
• allow puppies to socialise in a safe and controlled environment;
• allow puppies to accept gentle handling by humans other than their owners;
• teach puppies good manners;
• assist owners in solving issues such as housetraining (toileting), mouthing (biting), jumping up and chewing;
• encourage further training such as dog obedience; and
• encourage the puppy to be confident, happy and comfortable at the Veterinary clinic.

Puppy Pre-School at Pet Doctor costs $100 for all four weeks.  Puppies must be up-to-date with worming, flea treatments and vaccinations in order to attend.
