We all love puppies and having a new puppy in the house is an exciting time!

Puppy Preschool classes are run by Underdog Training here at the Hospital. Underdog Training is an award-winning Melbourne based dog training business, developed and run by nationally qualified dog trainer, Tamara Jackman. The interactive 4 week programme is designed to give your puppy the best start in life.

Puppy Preschool Benefits:

• Healthy socialisation with both puppies and people.
• It has been scientifically proven that puppies that are well socialised with other puppies between 8-16 weeks of age are more likely to develop into friendly, well-behaved adult dogs.
• Puppies that are isolated and have little outside contact during this critical early age are at a higher risk of developing behavioural problems later on. For this reason puppy preschool is strongly advised for all puppies to enable them to socialise in a fun, stress-free environment.
• Basic obedience training for you and your new puppy
• To provide a fun, gentle, positive experience for your puppy when visiting the Hospital. This can reduce anxiety for your pet when visiting us in the future.

Our classes are run over 4 consecutive Wednesday nights. The classes are held between 6:00 and 7:00 pm and all members of the family are invited to participate.

Bookings are essential.
