Puppy Preschool

Adolescent Classes

Puppy preschool is an investment in your dog’s future, ensuring they grow up to be well-adjusted, well-behaved, and happy members of your family. 🐾

Attending a puppy preschool offers numerous benefits for both the puppies and their owners. Here are some key advantages:

Socialisation: Puppies learn to interact with other dogs and humans in a safe and controlled environment, which is crucial during their early developmental stage

Obedience Training: Basic commands and obedience training are introduced, laying a foundation for future training and good behaviour.

Bite Inhibition: Puppies learn bite inhibition and appropriate play, which are essential for safe interactions with other dogs and humans .

Reducing Fear: Exposure to various stimuli in a controlled setting helps reduce fear and anxiety in new environments, making puppies more adaptable .

Behavioural Issues: Early identification and rectification of potential behavioural issues prevent them from becoming ingrained and difficult to manage later on .

Owner Education: Owners receive valuable information on puppy care, training techniques, and how to address common issues .

Breed-Specific Needs: Understanding the specific needs and characteristics of different breeds can help tailor the training and socialization process .

Confidence Building: Puppies develop confidence and learn to be friendly, which can help prevent fear-based aggression as they grow .

Play and Communication: Puppies experiment with different types of play and learn to communicate using ‘doggy language’, which is important for successful interactions with other dogs into adulthood .

Enjoyment and Bonding: It’s a fun experience that strengthens the bond between puppies and their owners, enhancing the enjoyment of pet ownership .
