Puppy Preschool

Being a puppy is one of the most important stages in a dog’s life. When you bring your new puppy home at age 8 – 14 weeks is the perfect time to begin socialisation. Everything the puppy sees and experiences will have a great effect on how he behaves as an adult. During this period it is important to expose your puppy to as many things and experiences as possible in a non-threatening way. This socialisation period has been classed as a ‘critical period’ for the formation of social relationships. Puppy Preschool is a four-week program for puppies aged 8 – 14 wks who have had a minimum of one vaccination. The program focuses on owner education, socialisation experiences and puppy manners.
