We use the positive reinforcement technique of training, rewarding your dog for good behaviour, and ignoring unwanted behaviours. This reward-based technique is universally recognised as the best for building positive relationships, and seeing great results in your dog’s training.

We teach an array of useful commands throughout our course, including sit, stay, come-when-called, leave-it, drop, roll-over, walking on a lead, take-a-bow, spin, and shake! The training tools you learn at the class, can then be used to teach your dog any action you wish.

As well as our skills listed above, mat training is taught at our class – a wonderful and useful tool to use at home. Similar to crate training, it allows puppies to find their safe-space in their home. With our puppy class, a beautiful Indie Boho dog mat is included in your course fee (worth $60), for use in the class. Choose your desired pattern from their range, and bring your mat with you each night. Our trainers will perform mat-training with your pup, to encourage them to sit and stay on their mat when asked. 

Jackie has been running puppy school for over a decade, with a vast knowledge on the training of puppies during the crucial imprinting phase. She is so passionate about puppies and the puppy-hood journey, bringing immense experience to her puppy classes, with lots of fun and engagement. 

We use fresh BBQ chicken as our treats throughout the class. This is all included with your class fee each week. We find this top-notch reward is enticing for even the fussiest of our puppies to learn with. If your dog has a chicken allergy, please let our trainers know and we can source another treat for them.

Indie Boho make beautiful pet care accessories, including dog beds, travel mats, towels and more. When your pup comes to Puppy Preschool at Fletcher Vet, you will receive 20% off any Indie Boho product during the course of their 5-week enrolment.
