What Your Puppy Will Learn at Top Dog Puppy Preschool

Our Puppy Preschool is more than just cute pups and cuddles (though there's plenty of that too). We lay the foundation for calm, confident, well-mannered dogs by teaching skills that matter in the real world:


Safe and Positive Socialisation – Exposure to new people, puppies, sights, sounds, and surfaces to build confidence and prevent future behavioural issues.

Foundational Obedience – Teaching core commands like sit, down, come when called, and crate comfort to set your puppy up for everyday success.

Calm Handling & Vet Prep – Gentle exercises to make grooming and vet visits stress-free for both of you.

Solutions for Common Puppy Behaviours – Practical help for jumping, nipping, chewing, barking, and toilet training so you can enjoy puppyhood stress-free.

Out-and-About Manners – Skills to help your pup behave around cafes, footpaths, and guests, so they’re welcome wherever you go.

Impulse Control & Focus – Building your puppy’s ability to listen, stay calm, and stay connected — even with distractions.
