Puppy Pre-School
Puppy Pre-School at Dunsborough Vets!
We are very strong proponents of the benefits of your puppy attending puppy classes.
Puppies need to start these classes between 8 and 14 weeks of age.
Puppy classes are designed to provide you and your pup with a safe environment for controlled socialisation with novel situations and with other puppies of the same age. It is critical that this occurs in the narrow window of your pup’s development when they are biologically prepared to learn certain things. A small amount of experience at this time, can have far reaching effects on the pup’s adult behaviour.
Whilst not a formal obedience class, attendance at puppy classes often serves to teach your pup basic obedience and serves as the perfect forum to discuss common problems that are being encountered by many pups and households such as toilet training, play- biting and jumping up.
We consider our puppy classes to be a “controlled environment” accepting only pups that have been recently examined by our veterinarians and well through their vaccine series: thus it is highly unlikely that your pup will encounter infectious disease from attending.
Our Puppy Pre-School classes are run by Asher Lindberg from GeoBay Dog Training. To read more about Asher please click here and to book a class call the hospital on (08) 9755 3931.
