What Your Puppy Will Learn
During Puppy Preschool, your puppy will be gently introduced to important early-life skills, including:
- Safe socialisation with other puppies and people
- Basic obedience foundations, including sit, focus and recall basics
- Confidence building in new environments
- Gentle handling and restraint
- Positive exposure to veterinary sights, sounds and equipment
- Settling and calm behaviour

Why Puppy Preschool Is Important
Early socialisation plays a major role in helping puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted adult dogs. Positive experiences during this important developmental stage can help reduce fear, anxiety and behaviour problems later in life.
Our Puppy Preschool program helps:
- Build your puppy’s confidence
- Reduce fear during future vet visits
- Improve trainability and focus
- Support positive behaviour at home
- Strengthen the bond between you and your puppy
- Give owners practical tools for common puppy challenges
