Doggie Training
Do you have a new puppy between the ages of 8 weeks and 16 weeks?
Are you looking to make a great headstart with their socialisation and interaction skills? Plus stop any behaviour issues NOW before they become ingrained?
Research has shown that puppies have a 'critical window' for socialisation that closes as early as 16 weeks of age. Don't just rely on the weekends to meet your pups socialisation targets! Puppy socialisation and training classes are an essential component for raising a puppy that will grow into a calm and confident adult dog.
Puppy Play Dates incorporate some basic training, socialisation experiences with other puppies, humans, objects, smells and sounds, behaviour and body language practical lessons, plus lots of fun to burn that mid week energy!
At Billy's we provide a safe, veterinary grade clean environment with experienced and caring staff members. No matter what the weather or season, Billy's indoor venue has you covered.
All puppies will be split into groups based on their vaccination status, age, size and energy levels.
Puppies are not required to be desexed for Puppy Play Dates as our policy is only for dogs over 6 months.
