Puppy Classes

Northern Suburbs Training & Obedience Dog Club, a prominent Dog Sports club in Perth, is excited to announce their upcoming local Dog Sports event! This event is a fantastic opportunity for interested players to showcase their skills and have a woofing good time.

One of the highlights that Northern Suburbs offers is their puppy classes, catered specifically for adorable puppies aged 8–16 weeks. These classes are available throughout the year, making it convenient for puppy owners to join in on any Sunday. It's important to note that puppies must have at least a C3 vaccination (C5 if over 16 weeks) to participate in these engaging sessions.

For the little ones in the 8-11 week age range, classes take place on mats, providing a safe and comfortable environment for them to develop their skills. As puppies grow a bit older, between 12–16 weeks, they will have the opportunity to join in closed off puppy pens, allowing them to interact and learn in a controlled setting.

Prospective members should take the time to research the differing opinions on puppy socialisation and vaccination before deciding when to bring their furry friend to the classes. Veterinarians typically recommend keeping puppies isolated until vaccinations are complete. However, behaviorists believe that early socialisation plays a crucial role in their proper development. It's always a good idea to consult with professionals to ensure you make the best decision for your pup.

During these puppy classes, participants can expect to learn a variety of important skills. Socialisation skills will be taught to ensure that puppies feel comfortable and confident in various settings. Temperament training is another valuable aspect of these classes, helping puppies develop a well-balanced disposition. Additionally, cute tricks and simple obedience training will be covered, making these classes both informative and enjoyable.

It's worth mentioning that for puppies aged 17–18 weeks, there is an option to attend for one week specifically for temperament assessment. This is a great way for owners to gain insights into their puppy's personality and behaviour.

While the classes are open to all, it's significant to note that children under 16 are welcome to attend with adult supervision. However, they are not permitted to handle the puppies during the class.

So, if you're in the Northern Suburbs area and want to give your pup the best start in their training journey, look no further than Northern Suburbs Training & Obedience Dog Club. Join them for their upcoming amazing Dog Sports event, and let the tail-wagging adventures begin!
