Puppy Pre-School - Rooty Hill:
A new puppy pre-school course starts the first Saturday of each month for all puppies between 8 and 16 weeks of age.
Where: Woodstock Animal Hospital, 392 Woodstock Ave, Rooty Hill.
When: 10am to 11am, four Saturdays in a row; AND 9am to 10am, four Saturdays in a row in December 2008.

A second preschool course starts on 6 December at 9am! As at 3 December we have a few spots still available - email or phone us as soon as possible to secure a spot for your puppy.
Please note: the last class in December is schedulled for the 27th, as many people are away for the Christmas/New Year period we will be running a make up class on January 10th so no-one misses out on any lessons.
This class is held outdoors, although a covered area is available in poor weather, and is limited to 6 pups per class.
At pre-school your puppy will learn how to be calm around other puppies; how to sit, come, lie down and give things when asked; to accept being handled, examined and groomed by you and strangers (makes vet and grooming visits less stressful for your dog). Advice is also given on appropriate feeding, exercise, toilet training, teething, chewing, digging; appropriate toys, games and other activities for your dog, as well as future training options.

If you would like to participate in any of the above classes please email me and tell me which class you are interested in and what area you are in, so I can arrange for training to be held near you.
Please note, dogs are put into training groups with dogs of a similar age to help ensure they do not have any negative experiences which could adversely affect their temperament and progress in training. For example, if a 3 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier was accidentally knocked over by the wagging tail of an adult Labrador, the Staffy might become fearful/aggressive to all other dogs, large breed dogs, or just Labradors.
