Pricing $195
(4 sesisons over 4 weeks)

What’s Included

Each week covers essential skills and guidance to help raise a well-rounded pup, including:

  • Understanding what your puppy is telling you
  • Health, habituation and routine building
  • Real-world skills
  • Essential cues like sit, stay, and come—taught with gentle, reward-based methods
  • Solving common puppy problems
 

Why Choose Us?

We’re not just here to teach cues—we’re here to help build a lasting bond. Our Puppy Academy is hosted in the state-of-the-art VetLand Hospital and Emergency Centre.

It’s a series of four, fun-filled one-hour sessions in a fun, safe, and enriching environment designed to nurture your puppy’s physical and emotional development. No cramped corners—just a calm, purpose-built space where they can feel safe and thrive.

Our expert trainers provide practical, structured hands-on learning and share weekly tips to support your progress at home.

With trusted guidance, real results, and plenty of tail wags, you’ll leave each class more confident—and so will your pup. Let’s give them the joyful start they deserve.

The vets, nurses and staff are so caring and give 110% to my gorgeous girl. She did puppy academy which, I believe, gave my girl the confidence and social skills that ,in fact, made her surgery today less stressful and she got through it more easily. Thank you for all the the support and treatment of my precious girl.
