Give your puppy the best start to their new life with you!

Puppy school with Dr Kerrie Piper

Bringing home a new puppy can be an extremely exciting but also sometimes daunting experience for all. Our puppy school is suitable for both first-time owners and experienced owners alike!

The first few weeks of a puppy’s life is an important developmental period. It is a great time for your puppy to get to know other dogs and other people, and be exposed to different experiences in a positive manner.

During our five week course, Dr Kerrie Piper will discuss how to manage common puppy behaviours such as chewing, digging and toilet training etc., and discuss common health matters as well. Your puppy will also learn how to sit, drop, stand, stay and come. Trick requests are also welcome and we do our best to tailor tasks to suit each puppy and family.

Our puppy school is extremely popular with often a long waiting list.
