Puppy Preschool 

Puppy School is a must for all owners looking to give their puppy the very best start in life and the opportunity to grow into a well behaved, social dog. Unlike traditional training classes, puppy schools are specifically designed for dogs 8 to 16 weeks of age. This time is the puppy’s critical socialisation period where nature intends pups to start exploring away from the litter.

Why Puppy Preschool?

Combining socialisation and obedience, our school lays down a learning foundation and prepares them for a lifetime of good behaviour and companionship.

Puppy Preschool has been running now at Eltham Veterinary Practice for several years, and it aims to teach puppies good manners, in a fun, safe and disease free environment. Our classes are held undercover behind our practice so your puppy can continue to learn – rain, hail or shine!

We currently have Natalie from Leading The Hounds Dog Training as our dedicated Puppy Preschool trainer!

What is Covered?

Each course consists of five 1 hour classes conducted over 5 weeks. Our trainer teaches “good behaviour shaping” using modern non-reward based techniques. The class size is a maximum of 10 puppies per class.

Who can join?

Puppy Preschool is open to all puppies aged between 8-16 weeks of age, who have had their first vaccination and have been wormed.
