Puppy Preschool Program

Mermaid Vet runs puppy preschool classes on Saturday mornings every 4 weeks.

These classes are designed for puppies between the ages of 6-12 weeks, as it is much easier to teach your puppy the proper behaviour from the start in order to avoid having to correct undesirable behaviour as they grow into adulthood. 

We run our puppy pre-school class on Saturday mornings, usually between 8-9am for a duration of 4 weeks.

Please call us on 07 5572 1278 to book your puppy in for the next class.
