Puppy Pre-School

Designed for puppies between eight and 18 weeks of age, puppy school is essential for the early development of young dogs.

A puppy’s brain is like a sponge – what they experience today will influence what type of personality they have when they are adults. Because puppies develop like this, socialisation and training is imperative in the first few weeks and months of their life.

The Vets on Parker puppy pre-school is a relaxed and fun environment where puppies learn to socialise and owners learn basic dog training skills. Led by the experienced team of trainers from Positive K9 Training, our puppy pre-school makes sure that you and your puppy receive the care that you need during this period.

Contact us on (03) 9850 1355 to book a place for your puppy in the next available class.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jessie has been visiting the team at VOP since she was 8 weeks old, she is now nearly a 15 yo Labrador.  Dr. Kevin and the whole team at reception, other vets and nurses have treated her like a family member.  VOP have looked after Jessie during emergency visits and routine appointments and have always been accommodating and patient.  Jessie will soon be relocating to another city and unfortunately will not be able to see the team at VOP.  Thank you to everyone for looking after her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vets on Parker are a wonderful clinic, with even more wonderful staff. A special shout out to Dr. Erica and Dr. Kassy. The whole Vet Nurse Team are kind, caring and knowledgeable. The clinic has offered exceptional support to both of my pet dogs, especially my very senior dog who has since passed. I am so grateful for their innovation and care that they provided during such a difficult time.
