Puppy pre-school and puppy classes in Armadale

At Railway Avenue Veterinary Hospital, we run puppy pre-school classes for puppies between the ages of 8 weeks and 16 weeks. This period is the most important time to socialise your dog and to begin basic training.

Puppy pre-school teaches you how to train your puppy to ensure he or she is well socialised and becomes a happy, well-balanced and enjoyable companion.

The most important part of puppy pre-school is socialisation, enabling puppies to learn to interact with other dogs without being afraid or aggressive. We will also teach the five basic commands that include:

• Sit
• Drop
• Stay
• Come
• Heel

Learning these skills may take time but it is rewarding once your puppy has mastered these commands. Other topics we tackle in the classes include:

• Play biting
• Toilet training
• Nutrition
• Teething
• Puppy behaviour
• Dog dominance
• All aspects of routine health care
