Puppy Pre-School

The first few months are the most important weeks of your puppy's life for learning. Puppy pre-school gives them safe, positive socialisation and a confident start - and gives you a head start on training.

Between about 8 and 16 weeks, puppies are at their most open to new experiences - and getting socialisation right in this window pays off for the rest of their life. Our classes let puppies meet, play and learn in a safe, supervised environment, while you pick up practical training tips and get on top of the early challenges.

It's also a lovely way for your puppy to build a happy association with us, so future visits are relaxed rather than scary. Ask us about the next intake - spaces are limited so it's worth booking early.

Puppy Pre-School - your questions

What age should my puppy start pre-school?

Classes are aimed at younger puppies - generally from around 8 to 16 weeks - to make the most of the key socialisation window. Ask us about timing and the next available intake.

Is it safe before my puppy is fully vaccinated?

Classes are run in a controlled, clean environment with puppies at a similar stage, which balances safe socialisation with disease risk. We'll advise you on where your puppy is up to with their vaccinations.
