In-Person Puppy Parenting Classes
For puppies aged between 10 and 16 weeks.
Education for modern puppy parents.
Researching and planning for the arrival of your new puppy is such a fun and exciting experience…
However, regardless of your preparations… As soon as your cute furry one arrives, you will be struck with a ton of questions.
You'll quickly discover that you do need professional support from day one, in order to avoid common mistakes and prevent problem behaviours.
Your puppy will grow very quickly and needs to learn a lot in a very short space of time, if he or she is to grow into a happy and confident, well-behaved dog.
The best way to set your puppy up for success is to enrol into a reputable puppy school, with a well-structured puppy training program, provided by a Certified Puppy Class Instructor — AND — which provides support for you and your puppy training needs up to adulthood. Start any week with open enrolment.
Extensive puppy parenting advice, training resources and support options. Provided as part of our in-person puppy classes or as a self-paced course.

Our open enrolment in-person program enables you and your puppy to meet new people and their puppies over 4 weeks. This greatly benefits your puppy's socialisation, with more opportunities to make sense of, interact with, and learn how to self-regulate their emotions, when faced with new experiences. Open enrolment also provides you with the flexibility to complete your 4-week program if you have missed a week, because you can simply join class the following week, without having missed essential, positive socialisation exposure.

Your puppy is between 10 and 16 weeks old.
Your puppy needs to be up-to-date with their vaccinations , and the minimum requirement for your puppy to be able to attend in-person classes, is that your puppy has at least had their first vaccination (C3).
Please bring a copy of your puppy's vaccination certificate at the start of your first class (this can be a screenshot on your phone). On your first visit, your puppy's vaccination certificate must be sighted by your instructor before you can enter the classroom.

Before Class
Before the start of your in-person classes, you will receive information on how to access your extensive video library.
These video lessons are an important part of your Mindful Puppy School program.
You are expected to use these videos to practise puppy training at home, in order to complete this course
and earn your Graduate perks.
During your puppy's first weeks at home, keep their world small. Giving puppy too much freedom too soon is the number 1 mistake new puppy parents make.
Use confinement appropriately to prevent your puppy from making mistakes around the house.
Focus your efforts on teaching your house-rules and helping your puppy build confidence
and make sense of the world. And, of course, continue developing a healthy, happy relationship
with your puppy.
Your homework will focus on time-sensitive puppy priorities and relationship building:
