Puppy Preschool
At the North Road Veterinary Centre, we think early socialisation is vital for all puppies between 2-4 months of age, to help them develop into confident, well-behaved sociable dogs.
Our puppy preschool classes are conducted by Tegan, a fully-qualified and experienced dog trainer and instructor.
Tegan has been part of the team at North Road since 2010. She holds a Certificate 3 in Dog Training and Behaviour from the National Dog Trainer's Federation, and has many years of training experience.
Tegan's expertise and experience will ensure you get the best possible start to training, socialising and handling your puppy.
Our puppy preschool program runs each month as a 4 week course, and classes are conducted on Sunday mornings at the clinic.
Class sizes vary from month to month, and range from a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 8 puppies.
The cost for this program is $165 (inc gst).
Bookings and enquiries can be made by phoning the clinic on (03) 9596 4804.
