The Lost Dogs Home

Training and socialising of your puppy should start at the time you get them (usually six to eight weeks of age), although pups up to 16 weeks are able to participate. This will mean that your pup will be well adjusted at a later stage.

The Lost Dogs’ Home offers puppy preschool classes throughout the year, run through our Vet Clinic.

Classes run for four weeks and bookings are essential.

What’s Involved?
Participants quickly learn the basics of training using positive reinforcement methods. At the end of the course your new pup will be able to obey basic commands such as ’sit’ and ‘drop’. Puppies want to learn and will really enjoy discipline as long as it is applied in a fun and positive way. Our school demonstrates and teaches how to do this, both during class and, importantly, in your home, where the training learnt should be applied regularly.

Of course your pup will not only be the one to learn - you will too!

These include the legal responsibilities of dog ownership, the importance of proper identification and the choices available for this, the importance of good nutrition, the danger of poisons around the house and how to avoid them, plus discussions on worm treatment, dental care and grooming.
