Helping Puppies Learn, Play & Thrive

At Alcorn St Vet Clinic, we are passionate about giving the puppies in our care a pawsome start in life.  At our puppy preschool in Bowral, we facilitate sessions that focus on instilling positive behaviours—in terms of responding to commands, avoiding dangers and socialising with other pups. Sessions take place every Wednesday at 6:30 for an hour. We appreciate that your puppy has a unique personality, and we'll work to ensure learning takes place at a pace that they are comfortable with.


In addition to running command training and exercises, we also facilitate supervised puppy play sessions! Your fur baby will have the opportunity to interact with other pups as well as get a great amount of exercise. Rest assured, the safety of your puppy is our first priority.


To enrol your puppy in our preschool, contact us today on (02) 4862 2911. Our Bowral vets also offer vaccinations, dentistry, pathology and other services for puppies of all breeds and sizes.

Five Essential Puppy Skills

For your puppy to grow into a healthy, well adjusted canine, it will need to have these five skills:

1. Socialisation: Interaction with other puppies and people in a controlled environment helps puppies learn appropriate social behaviours, reducing the likelihood of fear or aggression later in life.

2. Bite Inhibition: Puppies need to learn to control the force of their bites during play, a crucial skill that prevents accidental injuries and helps them understand acceptable play intensity.

3. Basic Commands: Essential commands include sit, stay and come. These establish the foundation for good behaviour and responsiveness to commands.

4. Leash Manners: Puppies should learn to walk calmly on a leash, reducing pulling and making walks more enjoyable for both the puppy and the owner.

5. Distraction Tolerance: Through various playful activities, puppies can develop the ability to focus and remain attentive despite distractions, aiding in better behaviour in various situations.


Our Bowral puppy trainers can help establish all of these skills and more. Contact us today to find out more.
