"Kinderbarkin" - Our Puppy Preschool
It's a great way to ensure your puppy's happy to come into the clinic for anxiety free visits. We offer basic training and care, socialising in a safe environment and LOTS of treats! All puppies need to have had a least one core vaccine 7 days before joining the class. We also recommend a kennel cough vaccine.
Did you know that the first 3-4 months of a puppy’s life are the most important time for socialisation? During this time, lots of critical long-term brain development happens, so it’s important to take advantage of that by exposing pups to as many new people, animals, and environments as we can.
Our Puppy Preschool classes are designed to safely introduce pups to as many new people and puppies (yes, there’s plenty of playtime) while teaching you to read your puppy’s body language for important information. We also help you train your puppy with some fundamental skills to set them up for success.
We cover loose leash walking, stay, body handling, reactivity prevention, and creating positive associations with the world.
