Auckland Puppy pre-school classes are run throughout your local Vet Hospital Group Clinic.

They are a great way to socialise your puppy in a safe and controlled environment, as well as giving you the opportunity to learn about puppy health and behaviour.
Puppy preschool requirements:
Your puppy will need to be up to date with their flea and worm treatment and have had their first vaccine along with kennel cough vaccine. Your puppy will need to be between the ages of 8-20 weeks old.

What’s included in our puppy preschool?
Our puppy preschool is in a 3 week layout run by our nurses. They focus on things like positively socialising, desensitising and training.
It is a great chance to ask questions you may have about toilet training, obedience, bad behaviours starting at home etc.
Each puppy that graduates will receive a certificate and puppy pack which includes a free flea and worm treatment.
We can also register all puppy-preschool puppies for six weeks FREE Pet Insurance with Southern Cross. Just ask us how.
To find out about costs, and when the next class starts, contact your nearest Vet Hospital Group clinic.
