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.
