Puppy School in Murray Bridge
Puppy School
Puppy Socialisation
It’s very important that your puppy has positive interactions with other people and dogs during their first few weeks to help them grow into a confident and well-behaved member of the family.
As they’re not generally allowed to go to dog parks or socialise with other dogs before their third vaccination, Puppy Pre-school can be a great way allow your puppy to socialise safely with puppies of a similar age (and other humans!). It’s also a wonderful opportunity for you and your pet to learn basic obedience skills, loose-lead walking, toilet training, positive reinforcement techniques and more.
Once your puppy is fully vaccinated, it’s a good idea to expose your puppy to different interactions. These could include taking your puppy to visit someone else’s home, inviting friends over to meet your puppy at home, introducing your puppy to a (fully vaccinated) adult dog or cat, or taking them to new environments such as workplaces or cafés.
We’re here to help

What will my puppy gain from Puppy Pre-School?
Your puppy will gain valuable lifelong social skills by interacting, training and learning to relax in a safe and controlled environment; with other puppies and people.
Being held at a vet clinic, your puppy will associate the clinic to having fun and being spoilt with treats, rather than the usual vaccination or examination. Our safe, clean Puppy Preschool environment allows your puppy to interact with other puppies, prior to completing their full vaccination course.
How will I benefit?
Your young puppy is at a very impressionable age, where learning and training is occurring at every interaction with you and their environment. Our highly trained, experienced trainers will assist you in understanding how your puppy’s mind works to best manage their behaviours and training and will educate you in several areas of pet care such as dental, nutrition and bathing and grooming. We will provide you with the tools to teach your puppy in a positive and effective manner, to help your puppy grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog.
