How old does my puppy need to be?

We welcome puppies into our course starting between 8 weeks and 16 weeks of age. Provided your puppy has had their first vaccination, they are good to go! The younger your puppy gets started, the more beneficial it is to their development and the sooner you can get all those burning questions answered!

It gives them a safe environment to build confidence and manners that are tailored to their stage of life. Most importantly it allows you to give your new best friend the best start to their tail!
