Has your puppy woken up and chosen chaos? But last week they were utterly perfect? Guess what… this is completely normal!
Puppies go through huge changes as they grow, especially during the first year of life. Development happens quickly, and behaviour can shift dramatically through different stages.
When choosing a puppy school, look for training options that:
- adapt as your puppy grows
- provide ongoing support
- teach real-world life skills
- focus on relationship-building
- encourage positive social experiences
- support confidence and emotional development
A short 4–6 week puppy course covers only a very small period of your puppy’s development.
Puppy school is an important beginning — but it’s not the finish line.
As puppies grow, new challenges can appear and it can feel really hard. Ongoing training and support can help dogs and humans continue learning together through puppyhood and adolescence.
If you’re in Melbourne, you can learn more in our in-person puppy classes.
