Puppy School in Glenhaven
Puppies can start pre-school at a young age. They are able to learn behaviours such as toilet training, obedience and social boundaries when they are only a few months old. Most pre-schools will allow puppies to attend after they have received their second round of vaccinations.
Puppy pre-school can assist in teaching positive training techniques. This will allow you to:
- Get a reasonable understanding of normal puppy behaviour

- Gain effective techniques for positive behavioural improvement
- Help your puppy socialise with other animals
- Teach your pup some of the “do nots”

Puppy Preschool
Puppies have a critical window for socialisation during 8 – 16 weeks and it is essential that puppy owners adequately socialise and train their puppy during this time. Everything a puppy experiences ( or doesn’t experience ) will contribute in shaping them as an adult dog and how they respond to their environment. Puppy pre-school helps to build confidence, focus and a positive bond between puppies and their owners. Our Puppy pre-school is run by certified dog and puppy trainers.
