At West Gosford Vet we offer puppies and their owners the best start for success in their relationship.

​

 

Our Puppy Preschool sessions will…

​

  • Help with early socialisation in your puppies key period of 8 – 16 weeks.

  • Our aim is to make dog training fun, for both your puppy and you their owners.

  • Teaching basic training techniques,  like teaching their name, sit, lie down, early recall, so how to come when called, as well as some tricks, like high five and roll over.

  • Other topics we cover include toilet training and also trouble shooting for mouthing, being home alone, children, other dogs.

  • Our class has puppy off lead time, puppy interaction is important for a well adjusted dog, so we will teach the puppies how to interact appropriately with a carefully managed play session, with just one other puppy.
