Having a good recall takes training, lots of practice and rewards. It gives your dog much more freedom

Great fun last night at puppy class. The puppies explored the ball pit and the ramp. Worked on mat work, recall and the basics

🐶❗Canine Parvovirus Alert❗🐾
We have been made aware of parvo cases in Christchurch and Tasman. This nasty disease can affect dogs of all ages, although puppies are more susceptible. Stay vigilant and remember, it's best to wait at least ten days after the final vaccination as protection takes a while to kick in - longer for some breeds, such as Dobermanns and Rottweilers.

➡️If your puppy or dog develops signs such as vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, or loss of appetite, please contact your local Vetlife.

➡️If your puppy attends puppy preschool and they are either unwell or have been in contact with an exposed or sick dog, please avoid bringing them to class. If you have any concerns about attending puppy preschool, please check out the link below and contact your clinic for advice.

Week 2 for these pups saw them exploring putting their paws on items and learning mat work. They all had a great time interacting with each other and was great to see the change in them from week 1-week 2. Good work pups
