Frequently Asked Questions

What age can my puppy start Puppy Pre-School?

Puppies can start as early as 8 weeks old. All puppies must have received at least their first vaccination a minimum of 2 weeks before their first class, along with up-to-date flea and worming treatments.

What training methods do you use?

We use positive reinforcement and fear-free handling methods to help puppies learn in a fun, stress-free environment. Our approach builds confidence and encourages good behaviour through rewards, praise, and gentle guidance.

Do you offer private training sessions?

At this stage, we focus on group puppy pre-school classes, but if you have specific training needs, feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to discuss possible options or referrals.

What will my puppy learn in class?

Our classes cover socialisation, name recognition, toilet training, crate & mat training, recall, loose lead walking, fear-free handling, cooperative care, and more! We also provide guidance on common puppy behaviours such as mouthing, jumping, and chewing.

What should I bring to class?

Please bring a flat collar or harness, a lead (no retractable leads, please!), lots of small, high-value treats, and a mat or small blanket for your puppy to settle on. Bringing a toy your pup loves can also be helpful.

Can my family come along?

To ensure a comfortable and effective learning environment, we ask that only one person per puppy attend each session due to limited space and seating. However, we’d love for the whole family to celebrate your pup’s progress—everyone is welcome to join us for the graduation session at the end of the course!

What if my puppy is nervous or shy?

That’s completely okay! Our classes are designed to build confidence, and we tailor training to each puppy’s needs. We’ll help your pup feel comfortable and supported throughout the course.

What if I miss a class?

We understand that life happens! Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer makeup sessions, but we’ll provide you with handouts and guidance so you can practice at home.
