Keep up to date with the latest news at Vets North!
Bringing a new puppy home is one of life’s true joys—and, let’s be honest, sometimes a wee bit of a whirlwind! We know how much your new family member means to you, and we understand that every puppy parent wants to give their little one the very best start in life.
It’s completely natural to have questions, and even a few worries, about getting things “right.” That’s where we, your local Vets North team, step in. Our Puppy Pre-School is about so much more than just sitting and staying; it’s about building a positive, confident foundation for life.
The Vets North Difference: Compassion and ConfidenceOur classes are specially designed for those early, crucial weeks (8 to 16 weeks, after their first vaccination), which is when your puppy’s world view is forming. Think of it as social and emotional learning, with a heavy dose of fun!
Positive Experiences at the Clinic: We want your puppy to love coming to see us. By visiting the clinic in a social, relaxed way, they learn that the vet is a safe and exciting place, not a scary one. This helps create a positive experience for your puppy so they enjoy coming to the clinic.
Safety and Trust First: Our kind, knowledgeable nurses lead all classes. They are all certified educators who prioritise your puppy’s safety and use only gentle, force-free training methods. We are absolutely on your side [cite: 2025-11-11], guiding you with professional expertise and genuine care [cite: 2025-11-11].
Building a Super-Star Citizen: Socialisation isn’t just about meeting other dogs—it’s about learning the rules of our human world. Your puppy will gain invaluable confidence interacting with different puppies and people, helping them grow into a calm, well-adjusted adult.
While the focus is on fun and confidence, we also cover all the essential life skills that will make your life easier and your puppy’s life healthier:
| Topic | The Goal |
| Healthy Habits | Essential dietary advice and general health care tips from our nurses, giving you the knowledge you need to keep your pup thriving. |
| Manners at Home | Effective toilet training techniques and basic commands like sit and stay—great building blocks for a well-mannered pup who loves to please you. |
| Travel and Routine | Safe and stress-reducing car travel tips, helping your pup adjust to routine and new environments. |
Choosing Puppy Pre-School is choosing to invest in your puppy’s long-term happiness and wellbeing. It’s the ultimate act of care and reassurance, and we genuinely love being a part of that journey.
We’re here to help make those first few months fun and stress-free. If you’re interested in giving your new furry family member this wonderful start, click through to our services page below.
