Puppy Day School
Do you have a puppy under 12 months old, who you are struggling to find the time to take to Puppy School? Then Puppy Day School is the answer for you!
When you bring home a new puppy it can be overwhelming teaching them all the skills they need to be a confident, obedient adult.
Our Puppy Day School Program is like ‘school for your puppy’. Pups will be taught appropriate doggie social skills with 100% supervised in doggie daycare. We also focus on other areas of socialisation such as various sounds, textures to walk on, mock vet exams and introduce grooming. As well as basic obedience training to teach them all the manners you would like them to learn and we will send them home with information to help you practice these things at home.
Trainers are with the puppies and the day consists of playing, one-on-one training sessions with the trainer, group training sessions, and nap time.
The cost of the program is $350 upfront, and includes training, socialisation, habituation, daily report on their day, and resources for working on common puppy issues at home.
The program is conducted on Thursdays and runs for 5 consecutive weeks.
