This a 4 week course on raising your little dog - suitable for ages 8 weeks to 20 weeks of age. Our classes are tailored towards small breeds, with information targeted to the needs of tiny, toy and small breed dogs. We choose small class sizes to reduce oversimulation, and to enable personalised attention and time for questions. The Essential Puppy Foundations Course 🐾 Through our Play School, we’ve had the privilege of guiding countless pups from 12 weeks to 2 years of age. This unique perspective means we truly understand the journey - and the challenges - new puppy owners face. This course is the culmination of what we’ve learned matters most in those vital early weeks - from 8 to around 20 weeks old.
