The next classes will commence on :

For 6-10 week old puppies:

Tuesday, 7th September, 2010.

For 11-14 week old puppies:

Wednesday, 8th September, 2010.



      You and your puppy are invited to join our puppy pre-school classes. Puppy pre-school is of great benefit to all puppies and we strongly recommend it to help your puppy to get off on the right track. 
     
The main emphasis will be on socialisation of the puppies with other pups and people in a controlled environment. We will also cover basic training and dog ownership. 
     
Many behavioural problems that we see in adult dogs can be attributed to poor socialisation during the important period of 6 to 14 weeks of age. These dogs are more likely to be hyperactive, aggressive, difficult to train, antisocial and fearful. So it is very important that your puppy is correctly socialised at this age. 

The aims of puppy pre-school are;
           - to socialise puppies.
           - to start basic training.
           - to identify any behavioural problems at an early age.
           - to supply information about dog ownership.
           - to make trips to the vet more enjoyable for the dog.
           - to give puppies a head start so that they will
              become well behaved and well mannered dogs

Puppies should be between 6 and 14 weeks of age. They must have been vet checked and vaccinated, as we ensure that all puppies in the class are healthy.
      Above all, puppy pre-school is FUN! All members of the family are encouraged to attend - especially children.

      Puppy pre-school is held every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30pm at our Wendouree clinic, 1329 Howitt Street, Wendouree. The younger puppies (6-10weeks) attend the Tuesday class, and the older pups (11-14weeks) attend the Wednesday class. The cost of the five week course (five Tuesday's OR four Wednesdays) is $75 payable in cash. The first week will be puppy-free and may run for up to 90 minutes.

      Please book ahead by calling Sue, Sarah or Louise on 53311533 or Kylie on 53392266, as places are limited. 

     
We hope to see you there!
