Puppy Parenting Program

Puppies have a “critical socialisation” period which begins at around 3 weeks of age and lasts until around 15 weeks of age.  It is during this period that all experiences shape, whether good or bad, your puppy’s behaviour later in life.
Here at Heathmont Animal Hospital, we believe that it is important for puppies to be well socialised, with people, as well as other animals, to give them the best chance at developing into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. Socialising only with people and other animals at home is just not enough! All puppies need to be exposed to many different stimuli as well as other breeds of dogs and different types of people in a safe environment. It is up to you as their leader to ensure they have as many new and great experiences as possible!

We recommend puppy classes that are run on a positive reinforcement method.  Currently we are unable to operate classes at our clinic. Contact us for current recommendations for classes in the area.
