Puppy Kindy is aimed for puppies aged between 8-16 weeks at the commencement of the class. This class is a great way for puppies to learn socialisation skills. At this critical period in their lives, puppies need to be exposed to many new experiences such as noises, moving objects and smells, and meet as many people as possible (especially children, men and strangers). We aim to provide some of these experiences in a safe and controlled environment.

Puppy Kindy class is also a great way for puppies to learn basic manners such as 'come', 'sit' and 'drop'. In addition to basic manners you will also learn ways to prevent destructive behaviours such as chewing, jumping and digging. Other problems like bite inhibition and toilet training will also be covered. We offer a semi-private class with a maximum of 6 puppies in one class

Course duration: One hour and runs over 5 weeks (week 1 is theory only, no puppies)
Where: Petropolis Grooming Salon, 58 Moore St Leichhardt NSW 2040
Cost: $120 for 5 weeks (incl. Pawfect Pooch non-woven bag, pet alert sticker, treat bag & training manual)
