Welcome to Puppy School at The Foreshore Vet

Owning a new puppy can be overwhelming and it's important to give your new puppy the best chance to succeed in their new home. Whether your family is big or small, a young dog must learn social skills and manners. Understanding their position in the family hierarchy is critical to their health, wellbeing and quality of life.

​

Bronnie and Jess just love puppies. When they aren't looking after your pets in hospital, Both Bronnie and Jess run four-week Puppy School training courses here at
The Foreshore Vet. They are passionate about teaching new owners and their puppies how to coexist and create a loving environment at home.

​

Bringing your new puppy to our Puppy School is an excellent way to teach them that the vet is a positive place where fun things happen!

​

Other benefits include: socialisation skills, basic commands for good manners, practical commands which can promote safety and ease of handling in day-to-day situations.
