Give your dog the best start with Animal Tracks!

If you have a new puppy joining your family, then make sure you choose Animal Tracks for all your new family member needs – we offer whole of life care, from vaccinations to microchipping, de-sexing and dental care, and everything in between. We have a fully equipped surgery, can complete basic blood tests in-house thanks to our state-of-the-art pathology equipment, and our all-digital radiology technology offers the very best in diagnostic tools – right at the clinic.

It is not just about medical needs though. Animal Tracks offer advice on all things pet, from nutrition to training – our fully trained Veterinary Nurses are on hand to offer you guidance on choosing the right food, demonstrations on how to clip nails safely, and we have your pet’s health and wellbeing as our main objective.

When you first get a puppy, you need to make sure that you know exactly what to do to allow them to develop into a well-mannered, sociable and happy dog. One of the first things that you can do on this journey is to enrol your pup onto one of our Puppy Pre-School courses.

What is Puppy Pre-School?

The Animal Tracks Puppy Pre-School is a four-week course designed to teach you how to train your pup. Puppy Pre-School in Newington and Puppy Pre-School in Sydney are held in our clinic and led by our Veterinary Care team.

This early education in the life of your puppy sets a great foundation for lifelong learning and helps you to guide your dog to becoming well-behaved in later life.

During the puppy pre-school course, we welcome owners to bring their puppies and learn how to encourage basic obedience like sit, drop, stay – as well as loose-lead walking (and some tricks, too!) The method we use to help you is positive and rewarding and designed to be easy to implement outside the lessons themselves.

The Puppy Pre-School course is an excellent opportunity to introduce your puppy to other dogs of about the same age, to encourage socialising in a controlled environment. Safe socialising is important, especially when your puppy is just learning about how the world works – and these sessions are as much about play as they are about education!

What Do I Need to Know About Puppy Pre School?

Puppy Pre-School sessions in Sydney are held on Wednesdays at the clinic. Puppies who are aged over seven weeks and have had (at least) their first vaccinations are welcome to attend.

The first session is an introductory class for owners only – please do not bring your pups along. This is an opportunity for you to tour the clinic and get some invaluable information from our Veterinary team.

Each session after that will focus on rewarding good behaviour and working towards grasping basic commands that you will find invaluable in later life.

After the session is over, the puppies are invited to socialise and play with each other – an excellent way for them to develop and build their skills in a group environment whilst having fun.

The course costs $250, and payment needs to be made at the first session.

Why Choose Our Puppy Pre-School in Sydney?

We’re glad you asked! And we’re happy to provide a breakdown of how it all works. These are our updated terms, services, and conditions, which have been adjusted in light of Covid-19, to keep you and your furry friend safe!

• As an officially enrolled member of our puppy pre-school programme, your little friend will benefit from four supervised play and socialisation sessions at the clinic during the day. This is absolutely essential to a young dog’s physical and psychological development. Playing not only keeps them fit, healthy, and active, it teaches them the social hierarchies and “manners” of the dog world, allowing them to grow up with a healthy relationship to the other dogs in their lives! This prevents dogs from becoming anxious, aggressive, or otherwise reactive in an unproductive way around other animals.
• Your puppy will play and learn with other dogs of a similar age, and will also receive some basic training (such as the “sit”, “drop”, and “stay” commands) that will lay the foundation for their ongoing education!
• At the end of each pre-school day, when you come to collect your puppy, we don’t just hand them off to you: we will communicate with you and explain what we have practised and learned that day, so that you can continue teaching and training your puppy at home. This means your furry friend enjoys consistency in their education, which makes both your and their lives easier in the long term!
• We will also give you a handout, so that you have a convenient, tangible reminder of the information, tips, and updates we provide. No need to write it all down!
• For everyone’s comfort, safety, and optimal socialisation and learning, your puppy will go through a one-week assessment period, to help us and you decide if this is the right format of puppy training and socialisation for them. But not, don’t worry! We won’t just abandon you. We work with all our families and pets to find the very best options and solutions.
• Puppies must be dropped off before 10AM, picked up between 3PM and 5PM, and must be up to date with their vaccinations.

A Puppy School Sydney Dog Owners Can Trust to Teach Their Pups

At Animal Tracks, we know that love and care are the most important factors in a pet’s life. As long as they’re shown proper care and plenty of affection, your pets will most likely live a happy, fulfilling life. But as anyone who’s raised a puppy can tell you, love isn’t all you need. You can’t love a puppy into not peeing everywhere or biting everyone! Puppies, much like human toddlers, need plenty of good direction and guidance to make sure they learn manners, obedience, and good socialisation with other dogs as well as new humans. Even experienced dog owners who have never had a puppy will struggle to properly train their pup; it’s not as straightforward as anyone would like, and puppies can quickly pick up very persistent bad habits. So, if you want to make sure yours learns the right behaviour early on, you’ll want the help of a puppy school.

Our Animal Tracks puppy preschool in Sydney is the perfect resource for new puppy owners. Over the course of the 4 sessions, we’ll make sure your puppy is exposed to plenty of other puppies as well as new people, and we make sure they’re not aggressive, anxious, or scared in either scenario. Many behavioural issues in older dogs come from a lack of exposure as well as training, so we make sure your pups have plenty of social time!

A Puppy Preschool Near Me That Focuses on My Dog’s Individual Learning

We don’t only teach your puppy in a group of others; the puppy preschool program at Animal Track also includes one-on-one training to make sure your pup is doing well. Dogs vary as much as people do; they have different personalities, preferences, and needs. As veterinary professionals, we’d be silly to ignore those differences. So, we include one-on-one time for your pup to learn manners, and we track progress for you too. You’ll know exactly what sort of schooling you’re paying for throughout.

We hope to meet your puppy very soon! If you’re looking for a puppy pre-school near Newingtonpuppy pre-school near Rhodes, we’ve got you covered!
