Puppy Pre-School

Puppy pre-school is a must for all owners wanting to give their puppy the best start in life and the opportunity to grow into a well-behaved and socialised dog.

A puppy’s early experiences shape the kind of adult dog they’ll become. That’s why early socialisation and training are so important in the first few weeks and months of life.

At Vets on Balwyn, we refer our clients to our sister clinic, Vets on Parker in Templestowe — less than a 15-minute drive away — for their popular puppy pre-school. Run by the experienced team from Positive K9 Training, these fun and friendly classes help puppies between 8 -18 weeks of age develop confidence and social skills while owners learn practical training techniques.

Call (03) 9850 1355 to book your puppy into the next available class.

When your pet’s unwell, or it’s time for a general check-up or vaccination, your furry friend is in good hands. Book online to see our expert Vets on Balwyn!
