Why enroll in our Puppy School classes?
Puppy School isn't just a fun activity for you and your new furry friend-it's an essential investment in their future wellbeing and your happiness together. During these crucial early weeks of life, puppies are like sponges, absorbing everything around them and forming habits that will last a lifetime. Our program uses positive reinforcement training and appropriate socialisation, the gold standard in training endorsed by veterinary behaviour experts worldwide.
By enrolling in Puppy School, you're not just teaching your puppy basic commands; you're laying the foundation for a confident, well-behaved adult dog. Our classes provide a structured environment for your puppy to learn and grow, all while strengthening the bond between you and your puppy.
Our Puppy School team is trained under the guidance of Dr Leonie Thom BVSc (hons) MANZCVS (Veterinary Behaviour) with her memberships in Veterinary Behaviour. This ensures we are providing the latest and best-proven training & behaviour knowledge when teaching you and your puppy.

FAQ's
When are classes held?
Please contact our team to see when our next classes start!
How old should my puppy be?
Puppies should be between 8 and 12 weeks of age at the time of the first puppy class. This is the optimal time for training and ensures all puppies in the class are socialised in a safe environment that is appropriate for their age and size.
Does my puppy need to be vaccinated?
Puppies must have had their first vaccination to be able to attend Puppy School. This ensures all puppies in the class are socialised in a safe environment. If your puppy requires vaccination, book an appointment with our healthcare team today!
Is puppy school safe for puppies who haven't finished their vaccinations?
We have a strict clinic policy requiring every puppy who attends our classes is up to date with their vaccinations. We clean the area prior to classes to create a safe space for our puppy guests.
What do I need to bring to class?
Our instructor will notify you prior to classes commencing of what you will need to bring to your classes. This will include things like a suitable collar and lead for your puppy, training treats, and other items as recommended by your instructor.
Should I feed my puppy before class?
It is recommended that your puppy doesn’t come to class with a full belly! This makes them less susceptible to pay attention to you and your tasty rewards.
How do I book my puppy into class?
Please talk to our team to book your puppy into Puppy School. You can either give us a call or pop into the clinic.
