Confident Canines Kindergarten

Setting you and your puppy up for a lifetime of positivity, companionship and success.

Whatever your goals are with your puppy, whether you’ve raised several puppies before or this is your very first, you will benefit from our fantastic puppy school! Classes are currently running at ARK VETS LINDFIELD. We offer a fun and informative 4-week course for puppies aged between 8 and 16 weeks. We make sure every puppy gets the most out of their experience in class - whether they need a confidence boost, or they are bouncing off the walls with excitement! You will learn:

  • How to socialise your puppy to dogs, people and our crazy human world!

  • How to set your puppy up for success when it comes to toileting, puppy biting, separation training and more

  • How to use food and other types of positive reinforcement effectively

  • How to create a confident puppy around handling, grooming and vet visits

  • How to teach your puppy the basics of sit, stay, recall, mat training, loose leash walking and more

  • How to play with your dog cooperatively
