Puppy preschool - Early puppy socialisation is crucial to your pup’s development and if he or she is to become a safe member of society.

Did you know that we pioneered puppy preschool in Newcastle back in 1997! We hold our own puppy pre-school during weekday afternoons as well as weekends. Puppies must be under 16 weeks of age and have had a C5 vaccination. Puppy pre-school is great for basic training like sit and stay but not only that, it’s great fun and you’ll meet new people and plenty of cute puppies.

Congratulations on the new addition to your family!

Although puppies are a lot of fun, they can also get into mischief and develop problem behaviours.
There are so many new things your puppy must be taught and exposed to before 16 weeks of age!!! This is why we recommend puppy pre-school!
