Puppy Pre-School at Wantirna Veterinary Clinic, Victoria

Puppy Pre School

Ready, Set, Play: Get Your Pup Ready for Anything With Puppy Pre-School

We are pleased to partner with Amanda of Smart Choice Dog Training to offer Puppy School at Wantirna Vet Clinic. This program is designed to support puppies from as early as 8 weeks of age and their families through the important early stages of development. Starting early can make a real difference. With the right support, puppies can begin to understand things like toileting, calm behaviour, and how to navigate the world around them, helping create a more enjoyable life together as they grow.

Highly recommend! Fantastic for first-time dog owners. Serena is an exceptional, engaging trainer, great for puppy socializing and basic skills. Perfect class size, superb guidance, and helpful weekly handouts. Rewarding to see the pups evolve from day one to graduation.

Attended puppy school with our second dog. Excellent trainers provided accurate, helpful information, plus printed notes and online resources. Small classes ensured individual attention and safe puppy socializing. Highly recommend for new pup parents for a great start.

Puppies Are Full of Cuddles and Cuteness but Unfortunately, They Don’t Come With an Owners Manual

As a puppy owner, there are so many things to love about your furry family member! But, caring for a puppy is a big responsibility. Their endless energy and curious nature can be a handful and cause chaos in your home. From chewing your favourite shoes to barking at – well everyone, it can be challenging to keep up with their mischievous behaviours. However, with a little patience and the right help, your puppy can grow into a well-behaved adult who brings you joy every day.

Welcome to Puppy Preschool!

When you choose to attend puppy preschool at Wantirna Vet Clinic, you get 5 weekly sessions that cover all aspects of obedience and puppy behaviour. Each class is hands-on and collaborative with plenty of time for play! We never take more than 6 puppies per session to ensure all our owners and their families (10 years old and older) can learn important skills such as how to effectively handle nipping or jumping up.

Our goal is for your puppy to have a positive experience while in puppy preschool while they learn to socialise with other puppies as well as key skills like how to sit, come, drop and walk nicely on the lead.

During puppy preschool, you can expect…

Puppy preschool helps you set your puppy up for long-term success. And you can get all this training and support at Wantirna Vet Clinic.

Puppy Pre-School’s Playful Schedule

Having a puppy is like having a wild adventure full of love, laughs, and messes. From potty training to socialisation, it’s a journey of ups and downs. Seeing your furry family member grow into a good dog is a proud moment that warms your heart.
