How old does my puppy need to be?
We welcome puppies into our course starting between 8 weeks and 16 weeks of age. Provided your puppy has had their first vaccination, they are good to go! The younger your puppy gets started, the more beneficial it is to their development and the sooner you can get all those burning questions answered!

If your puppy is older than 16 weeks, don’t fret! We are still able to offer support through our older dog classes, Puppy Primary School and Puppy High School. In addition we are available for one-on-one consultation at your location!

It gives them a safe environment to build confidence and manners that is tailored to their stage of life. You will have support from qualified trainers, using the latest methodologies right from the beginning. Most importantly it allows you to give your new best friend the best start to their tail!
