[H2] Why should I join Greencross Vets Puppy School?
Greencross Vets Puppy Schools are conducted in conjunction with Petbarn and City Farmers by qualified trainers whose only goal is to help your puppy reach its full puppy potential. Our courses are designed to help your puppy develop vital social skills and equip you with strategies to teach your puppies positive behaviours such as toilet training, social etiquette (sit, stay, wait) and how to lead walk. Puppy School also helps your furry friend integrate into your family so you can establish a mutually loving, lifelong bond.
Greencross Vets Puppy School is also backed by our vast network of Veterinarians, Veterinary nurses, Veterinary behaviourists, Groomers and Retail experts that you can rely on for ongoing tips and advice. We work with some of the best in the industry to ensure we are up to date with leading scientific research and collectively draw on many thousands of hours of training and practice. All trainers undergo theory and practical training and assessments to meet our strict standards.
Socialisation and training during the first few months of your puppy’s life is key to their overall mental health and physical wellbeing. Improperly socialised dogs are often fearful of other pets, people and unfamiliar environments, so they are prone to developing stress related conditions such as separation anxiety. This fear may also manifest as aggression resulting in injuries to other dogs, people and often themselves. Pet parents may find themselves in a situation where they cannot take their pets out of for exercise due to dog aggression, their pets become bored and develop other unwanted behaviours such as hole-digging and other destructive behaviours. A lack of exercise may also contribute to health conditions such as obesity.
