PUPPY LOVE WHY ATTEND PUPPY SCHOOL?

ringing a new puppy into the family is both exciting and nerve-wracking.

WHY PUPPY SCHOOL? Puppy school provides crucial learning, socialisation, and desensitisation opportunities for your new puppy during their ‘critical socialisation period’ (between 8 and 16 weeks of age). At this time, puppies are most open to learning and accepting new situations and experiences.
