Puppy Pre-school

GOODOGZ puppy pre-school has an Open Enrolment policy. This means that puppies can enter the programme at any stage.

 

Benefits of our puppy classes:-

The programme includes:-

• Preparing your puppy for going out and about

• creating a co-operative puppy

• Tips and advice for puppies that are great around all types of people

• Using food for more than helping your puppy grow!

 

We help with:-

• Essentials like sit, down, come, follow me. 

• Practical tips and advice - toilet training, barking and biting etc

• General health care advice

• Boredom busters and enrichment ideas

• Socialisation and interaction with people and dogs.

• Handling tips for grooming and health.

• Guidance around how children and puppies should interact.

 

Our programme includes off-leash time which is closely monitored to ensure pups of similar ages/size and disposition are safely interacting. We do not run free-for-all play time as we want to make sure puppy interactions are as positive as possible.
 

We do not provide a germ free environment, but all puppies must have had at least one vaccination and be at least 10 weeks old before beginning class. A Health declaration is signed to ensure sick puppies stay away from class.

 

Note (Upper Hutt) : classes are held outdoors, but are under cover. Appropriate clothing for the weather conditions is recommended. Class may be postponed in bad weather.
