PUPPY PRESCHOOL

Give Your Puppy the Best Possible Start

Our Puppy Preschool helps your puppy build confidence, learn early life skills and begin training in a positive, supportive environment.

We use rolling enrolments, giving you the flexibility to start your block of classes as soon as you get your puppy — no need to wait and risk missing important early development weeks. This approach also allows your puppy to meet a wider variety of puppies and people each week, while still maintaining small class sizes. 

Puppies can start from 8 weeks old once they have had their first vaccination. Classes run at 7pm on Thursday evenings.

WHY PUPPY PRESCHOOL?

Support During The Weeks That Matter Most

Welcoming a new puppy into your life is exciting, but those early weeks are also a key time for socialisation, learning and confidence-building. Puppy Preschool gives your puppy a safe and positive introduction to the world around them.
