Puppy Pre-School   

Hello Tracy!

Our Puppy Pre-School is run by the wonderful and exceptionally talented Tracy of Sit Stay Dog School.

Give your Pup the best start in life.

A puppy is a huge responsibility. They are dependent on you for many things, not only companionship but shelter, food, and obedience training too. Get this right and they will grow into a happy and healthy adult dog.

So what’s it all about?

Canine behavioural studies have shown that the most vital stage of a puppy's development occurs between the ages of 8 and 16 weeks. It is during this time that puppies learn many of the personality traits that they display later in life.

Puppy Pre-School is a program of classes aimed at providing you with the necessary tools to socialise and train your puppy in a rewarding and positive manner. It allows puppies of similar ages to interact in a safe, controlled environment under the direction of trained and experienced staff.

What skills will my Puppy learn?

Positive reinforcement training techniques and basic obedience commands such as sit, drop, come and stay are taught. You will also get help with common doggy dilemmas such as digging, jumping, biting, barking and toilet training.

Other topics covered in the sessions include life decisions (de-sexing, microchipping, and parasite control), nutrition, walking equipment, toys for puppies and advice for on-going training of your puppy.
