Ulysses Veterinary Clinics Cairns Puppy School

Ulysses Veterinary Clinics run regular Cairns Puppy School classes for new dog owners, or dog owners with a new puppy. These classes are held after hours, with limited attendance numbers to maximise engagement. In addition to learning important information about caring for your new puppy and training them, they create the opportunity for you to safely socialise your puppy with other dogs.

There are many benefits to teaching your puppy to be well-behaved at an early age. Young puppies are quite able to learn obedience skills, toileting behaviour and social boundaries. All of these things help make your relationship with your dog more rewarding for the years to come.

The most important thing about puppy pre-school is ‘start early’. Waiting too long can allow behavioural problems to establish, which then require more intensive training to overcome. For our Cairns puppy pre-school classes at Ulysses Veterinary Clinics, we welcome all puppies from age 6-16 weeks. So start today and call us about enrolling your puppy in our puppy pre-school classes.
