Apr12_The Importance of Puppy Preschool
If your family is looking into buying a new puppy soon, it is important to take into account the need for you and your puppy to socialise safely from a very early age.
Puppy Preschool is the best way to get the new family member settled in quickly and on the right track with good training and nutrition information. No one knows more about healthy pet lifestyles than the staff at the Old Mill Vet Surgery, so it is a good idea to look into upcoming Puppy Preschool dates with us before you pick up your new puppy.
Puppy Preschool provides the opportunity to socialise your pup with different canine breeds, as well as humans of all ages and sizes. Add in the experience of travelling in the car, plus the smells of a new building, and your puppy is on its way to growing into a well adjusted and respectful dog. A well socialised puppy is less likely to grow into an aggressive dog, and early training can iron out any annoying habits, such as jumping up on visitors, which may get worse over time.
Apart from understanding the day-to-day nutrition, immunisation and training aspects, we are all dog owners and have some great tips and tricks up our sleeves. The classes provide the ultimate socialising opportunity in a safe, managed environment with decades of combined knowledge and ‘parenting’ advice at your disposal. As a vet surgery, we are particularly focussed on educating the benefits of a preventive lifestyle, and we have the latest information in the control of parasites, worms and any seasonal problems that you may not expect. Pick our brains for the solution to that strange little habit your puppy is developing, and come and share your stories with other new ‘parents’. The ultimate goal is to establish a good foundation of experiences, so the puppy associates a trip to the vet surgery as a positive outing.
Watch your new pup interact with the other breeds and their owners and you will see their personalities develop each week. Participants also enjoy samples of the best products from a number of our preferred suppliers. Classes run each Tuesday night for 4 weeks and cost $75 per puppy, for the full term.
