It is a requirement that your puppy has had their first vaccination between 6-8 weeks of age, the second vaccination (10-12 weeks) should be scheduled during the 4 week course or the third (14-16 weeks), depending on your puppies’ age.
We work closely with each of our affiliated vet hospitals who are comfortable with puppies commencing puppy preschool under these conditions. Please feel free to confirm or discuss further with your veterinarian.
Our goal is to encourage safe supervision of socialisation between healthy puppies in a supportive engaging environment tailored to new dog owners.
We understand that getting a new puppy is a family decision. We encourage children to learn about the needs of your new puppy and want to provide an educational environment in which to facilitate learning. Children are welcome in our classes. Please consider limiting to two people per puppy per class.
Puppy Care for Kids
Teaching children how to create a calm relationship with your new puppy is vital for their health and well being. Some topics that Jess can help to teach your children about are:
- How to correctly hold and handle your puppy
- Understand puppies and dogs
- Games to play with your puppy
- How puppies explore
- Different types of toys
- The importance of routine and sleep
These sessions are facilitated at home under your supervision, with your new puppy and your children. It is suitable for children aged 6-12 years old.

"We had such a great time at puppy school with Jess. We learnt so much about behavior, routines and caring for our puppy. The photos Jess took of our puppy at the final class were such an added bonus."
