Bruce’s Puppy Training

Bruce’s is 100% dedicated to unleashing happiness in every dog we meet. Get your pup off to the best possible start by building on their socialisation journey with our dedicated Puppy Preschool. It is a wonderfully safe way for them to learn core skills and behaviours and of course, make some doggy pals.

The Importance of Puppy Training

Puppy training is essential in developing a well-behaved, confident and happy dog.

Early training sets the foundation for a lifetime of good dog behaviour. It also helps puppies understand what is expected of them and how to interact properly with people, other animals and their surrounding environment.

Another important factor alongside puppy training is socialisation. During the critical early months, puppies are highly receptive to new experiences. Proper training introduces them to various environments, people, and other dogs in a controlled and positive way. This helps prevent fear and aggression later in life. A well-socialised puppy is more likely to grow into a well-adjusted adult who enjoys different situations without anxiety or aggression.

Enrol your dog into Puppy Preschool & let Bruce’s help!

To help new dog owners, Bruce’s has developed a dedicated puppy preschool available to dogs from 12 weeks of age.

Getting a new puppy is an exciting time but it is also time-consuming in the early months. When owners need to go out to work, being left can be stressful for young dogs. By enrolling them into a service like doggy day care you can be reassured your pup is being taken care of in a secure environment whilst you go about your day.

Our expert staff are trained to nurture the development of each pup, providing a safe and fun environment for puppies to prepare for the wider world. They are on hand to continue your puppy training by encouraging good behaviour, supervised socialisation training and help with toilet training.
