Puppy Preschool
Forrestdale Veterinary Hospital Puppy Training Classes
- Give your pet a great start to life with a solid foundation in good behaviour.
- Located in Perth, our puppy training classes are vital to cementing good future behaviour. The classes allow correct graded socialisation with other pups. Like any training (think about training children or sporting people), ongoing reinforcement is vital, so don’t stop after the puppy classes end!
- Our classes focus on giving the correct start to a pet’s life – every dog and dog owner should experience the joy of having a well-trained puppy. We know that bad behaviour is one of the biggest issues for pets and their owners in our country
Perth Puppy Preschool – Class Overview
- Our classes are designed to give the following:
- Appropriate interaction with other pups – off lead and on lead.
- Pups learn to sit, puppy recall, drop and nose targeting and other actions – basic compliance behaviours that are important for good control.
- Learn more about correct handling as well as basic husbandry.
- Learn how to play with your pup – inappropriate play can make your puppy’s behaviour worse!
- Learn about puppy rearing issues and basic health care.
- If we note that a pet has any behaviour issues or if you have any concerns about your pup we will discuss them with you.
- We recommend Cecile or one of her team members from Puppy Associates for further training and assessment. Puppy Associates can be contacted on 0435 018 083.
- For more complex issues we refer to Animal Sense – Dr Nicole is a vet who has post graduate qualifications in animal behaviour. She can be contacted through Animal Sense.
