Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, chaotic, and full of love — all rolled into one wagging tail! But between the chewed shoes, toilet training, and zoomies at 9pm, it can also feel a little overwhelming. That’s where puppy school steps in to make life easier (and a lot more fun).
At Berwick and Narre Warren Vet Clinics, our Puppy Preschool program is designed to give your new best friend the best possible start in life — and to help you build confidence as a puppy parent too.
🦴 Early Socialisation = Confident Dogs
The first few months of a puppy’s life are crucial for shaping their behaviour and confidence. At puppy school, your pup will safely meet other dogs, people, sounds, and environments — all under the guidance of our experienced team.
Positive early experiences help reduce fear, anxiety, and reactivity later in life. In short, socialisation done right makes for a happier, friendlier, and more adaptable dog.
🎓 Training That Builds a Lifetime Bond
Learning basic cues like sit, stay, come, and leave it isn’t just about obedience — it’s about communication. Our classes use gentle, reward-based training to teach puppies how to focus and respond to you. You’ll learn practical tools that make daily life smoother, and your puppy will learn that good behaviour = good things.
🐕🦺 Handling and Health Confidence
Our vet nurse-led classes help your puppy get comfortable with being handled — paws, ears, mouth, and all! This makes vet visits, grooming, and general care far less stressful down the track.
Plus, our team covers important topics like nutrition, parasite prevention, dental care, and desexing — so you’ll finish the course feeling informed and empowered.
🐾 For You, Too
Let’s be honest — puppy school isn’t just for the dogs. It’s also a chance to connect with other new pet parents, share experiences, and learn together. We promise, by graduation night, you’ll feel like part of our clinic family.
✨ A Bonus for Our Healthcare Plan Members
All members of our Healthcare Plan receive complimentary enrolment in Puppy Preschool — just one of the many perks designed to help your pet enjoy a longer, healthier life.
