Puppy Pre-School

Hosted by 'Pups Academy'

At WBVC, we recognise the integral part Puppy Preschool plays in both a pup and its new owner's lives. For this reason, we are now out sourcing our training classes to be run by Pups Academy Dog Training. 

About your new trainer: 

With several years of experience running puppy pre-school classes, training staff, doing in-home consultations, and creating personalised programs for owners to improve their dogs obedience, Nad has a wealth of experience behind her. She has a deep interest in the psychology of behaviour modification and canine nutrition, which enables her to create comprehensive training plans that address the most important elements of dog ownership.

Why is Puppy Pre-School Important?

From 3-16 weeks of age, your puppy is going through the ‘Critical Socialisation Period’. During this period, your puppy is biologically equipped to handle and take on new experiences and encounters. After this window closes, puppies go through 'fear periods' which cause a high degree of reactivity. Training during the Critical Socialisation Period is imperative in helping you navigate and set your pup up for life. 

What will my puppy learn?

Pups Academy’s 5 Week Puppy Pre-School is a culmination of years of training and observing the most common mistakes and difficulties new puppy parents experience. The course will provide your puppy with the opportunity to:

  • Build confidence around strangers, other dogs, new sounds, surfaces and other stimuli
  • Learn life-long, essential skills and commands. i.e. let go, stay, come, sit, drop and more
  • Increase their ability to obey commands in the presence of distractions
  • Learn how to settle in new environments

Over the 5 Weeks YOU will learn how to:

  • Communicate productively with your puppy
  • Manage your puppy at home to encourage good behaviours and discourage undesirable ones
  • Support appropriate socialisation & confidence development
  • Build a healthy bond with your puppy
  • Ensure adequate mental & physical fulfilment for their age & breed

Course Details:

The course will run over 5 consecutive weeks with each class running for 1 hour in our very own Puppy Pre-school space. Week 1 will be Theory only and therefore only pet parents will be asked to attend (Puppies get the first week off!). Weeks 2 to 5 are practical weeks where you will attend with your puppy.

What do I need to bring?

Please bring the following to each practical class (week 2-5):

  •  A collar
  • A harness - this is also safest for car travel
  • A basic, flat lead (No chain, studded or elastic leads)
  • A place mat (small travel bed, heavy bath mat or crate mat)
  • A training pouch (Use code: PUPSACADEMY for 10% off Stylish Hound Training Pouches)
  • Your puppies favourite food - if your puppy is fussy we recommend using an air dried food or chopped Prime 100 roll
