Our puppy pre-school is open enrolment which means that puppies can enter the class at any stage of the programme.

This helps ensure that pups

can start class at the ideal time (around 10 weeks)
meet more puppies
meet more people
progress at their own rate

Our programme includes off-leash time which is closely monitored to ensure pups of similar ages/size and disposition are playing together.

We do not provide a germ free environment, but all puppies must have had at least one vaccination before beginning class.

Puppy or soft toy??

Before you get your puppy make sure you read this article and then be sure you do want a puppy and can dedicate the time and effort to it that you should.

Clickers.

Dogs learn quicker if you use a clicker!!

We sell box clickers. $5 each. For large numbers please enquire.

Socialisation?

Here is a good article about socialisation.

What it says is that we need to get our puppies used to the world around them, without thinking that the world around them cares acutely about them!!

A good example is the puppy at the railway station, sitting there while everyone rushes by on their way home. That is a good thing to learn vs lunging on the lead and struggling/crying to go and see them all to be patted.
