Give Your Puppy The Best Start In Life

The first six months of a puppy’s life are crucial for their development, shaping them into a well-behaved and confident dog.

Enrolling them at the Avon Valley Puppy Pre-School will give them a structured environment full of dog and human socialisation, which will help your pup build confidence and essential life skills.

Sending your puppy to our dedicated day care centre offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Enhanced socialisation skills, essential for all dogs
  • A safe and stimulating space to learn and play
  • Improved behaviour through positive interactions with other dogs
  • Prevention of boredom-related destructive habits
  • Mental and physical enrichment to support healthy development
  • Reduced separation anxiety through gradual independence-building
