Puppy School
Give your puppy the best start in life with our engaging, supportive, and science-based Puppy School at Carrum Downs Veterinary Hospital.
Our classes are led by veterinary nurse Brianna, who holds a Certificate in Animal Behaviour and Training. With her professional expertise and passion for positive, reward-based training, Brianna has carefully designed this program to help you build a strong bond and clear communication with your pup from the very beginning.
We focus on positive reinforcement training, avoiding punishment-based methods. This creates puppies who are eager to learn, confident in new situations, and unafraid of making mistakes. Our approach encourages curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.
