Designed for puppies between eight and 18 weeks of age, puppy school is essential for the early development of young dogs. A puppy’s brain is like a sponge – what they experience today will influence what type of personality they have when they are adults. Because puppies develop like this, socialisation and training is imperative in the first few weeks and months of their life. The Vets on Parker puppy pre-school is a relaxed and fun environment where puppies learn to socialise and owners learn basic dog training skills. Led by the experienced team of trainers from Positive K9 Training, our puppy pre-school makes sure that you and your puppy receive the care that you need during this period. Contact us on (03) 9850 1355 to book a place for your puppy in the next available class.
