Puppy preschool is a group class for you and your puppy to get together with other people and their puppies. In this class you will share experiences, learn new things and of course get answers to all of those questions!

Our puppy preschool at Sugarloaf Animal Hospital is a 4 week course run once a week on a week night or as 2 x 2 classes over a 2 weekends. The price is $115.00 per puppy and covers you entry for each of the meetings. Our Puppy Preschool Teachers Karen Mathews, Nicole Eriksson & Hayley Corrigan have had many years of experience teaching puppies and their owners all of the important things for your life together.

Our class has a focus in four main areas: Socialisation, Obedience, Education, and Fun. Of course we cover those age-old topics to which everyone wants to find the solutions: biting, digging, chewing, and toilet training.

OUR NEXT UPCOMMING CLASSES WILL COMMENCE ON:
* 14th of Febuary 2011 for the 4 week Midweek classes
* 5th of March 2011 for the 2 week weekend classes

Please Note: Puppies should ideally be between 8 and 16 weeks of age.

Puppy preschool is not an obedience class, but is designed to teach your new puppy correct and socially acceptable behaviour early, rather than try to remedy bad behaviour later, after your pup has had six months or so to learn them.
