Puppy School

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS

Puppy development is a crucial phase in a dog’s life, and we prioritise providing comprehensive support and guidance during this period. Our unique puppy development program consists of two phases called Puppy Foundations & Puppy Progressions. Puppy Foundations covers all of the essentials to provide your puppy with the best start to life. Puppy Progressions takes you and your pup out of the classroom and into the real world to learn how to provide your puppy the leadership & guidance they need under real world conditions to grow with confidence and look to you for direction. Each program is 4 weeks in duration and we run them concurrently. For those who enrol in both programs this provides a highly comprehensive 8 week puppy development program for you and your puppy.
