PUPPY SCHOOL

Raising a well-behaved, confident dog starts with proper training and socialisation during the early weeks.
At Cammeray Veterinary Hospital, our Puppy School is specifically designed for puppies aged 8 to 16 weeks, providing a safe, supportive environment where young dogs can learn essential skills and develop positive behaviours. Our classes are led by a qualified and experienced dog trainer, Mali Luty CDPT-KSA, ensuring your puppy gets the best possible start in life.

WHY ENROL IN PUPPY SCHOOL?

The first few months of a puppy’s life are crucial for building the right foundations.
Our classes focus on teaching your puppy how to interact positively with other dogs, people and their surroundings. Early socialisation helps prevent common behavioural issues like fear and anxiety, making your puppy more adaptable to new environments and experiences as they grow older.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR CLASSES

Held every Sunday, our Puppy School sessions are tailored to meet the needs of both
you and your puppy, with a curriculum that includes:
Basic Obedience Training
Teaching your puppy essential commands like sit, stay, come, and drop, which helps establish good manners at home and in public.
Lead Training
Learn how to walk your puppy on a loose lead, reducing the chance of pulling and creating a more enjoyable walking experience.
Socialisation
Carefully structured play sessions with other puppies help your pet learn appropriate play behaviours and social cues, ensuring they become comfortable around other dogs and new situations.
House Training Guidance
Practical tips and techniques for successful house training, including how to prevent common issues like inappropriate chewing and soiling in the house.
Managing Unwanted Behaviours
Our trainer will guide you through methods to address nipping, barking, and jumping up, helping to instil positive behaviours from an early age.

Expert Guidance and Personalised Support

Our experienced trainer, Mali Luty, is one of Australia’s most qualified dog trainers. She is passionate about helping puppies thrive and provides personalised advice to address your puppy’s unique needs. Whether your concern is separation anxiety, resource guarding, or simply helping your puppy adjust to new family members, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and get tailored advice during each session.

A Fun and Positive Experience for Puppies and Owners

We believe that training should be a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your puppy. Our classes are designed to be fun, with a focus on using positive reinforcement to build your puppy’s confidence and strengthen the bond between you and your new companion.

What Happens After Puppy School?

By choosing Cammeray Veterinary Hospital’s Puppy School, you’re investing in your puppy’s future, ensuring they grow up to be a well-adjusted, happy member of your family. Our programme helps you understand your puppy better, setting the stage for a lifetime of positive interactions and experiences.
