Raising a puppy is a learning experience for both you and your new companion.
Our Puppy Preschool at Logan Village Vets offers a gentle, structured space for early training, social development, and everyday care. Each session blends hands-on activities for your puppy with practical advice, so you feel confident continuing the learning at home.
The program includes four one-hour sessions, with classes held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.
Puppy training goes far beyond teaching simple commands.
In the early days, you are also learning how to respond when your puppy nips, gets distracted, or becomes a little too enthusiastic.
Our Puppy Preschool helps you navigate unwanted behaviours, build reliable recalls, and introduce basic obedience. We also include activities that keep your puppy’s mind engaged and learning.
Our focus is on practical skills you can keep building at home, so the learning continues well beyond the classroom.
Playtime is woven into each session to support your puppy’s early social development.
Puppies are discovering other dogs, new people, gentle handling, and the world around them. Puppy Preschool offers a calm, supportive setting for you and your puppy to share these early experiences together.
We include gentle handling in the program to help you feel more at ease with this important part of caring for your dog.
Puppies sometimes do things that test our patience. Often, knowing how to respond is the hardest part.
We spend time exploring when, why, and how to respond to unwanted behaviours. There is also space for your questions about any challenges you are already noticing at home.
This way, the course stays relevant to the real-life questions that come up as you and your puppy settle in together.
Training is just one part of welcoming a new dog into your family.
We also cover nutrition, health, basic first aid, local council requirements, and the responsibilities that come with caring for a dog.
These topics fit alongside your puppy’s broader veterinary care. Vaccinations, microchipping, and preventative health are all important parts of their early well-being.
The clinic’s current vaccination information recommends puppy vaccinations at 6 to 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks.
Puppy Preschool is held over four one-hour Wednesday evening sessions, from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.
During these sessions, we cover training, recalls, social development, gentle handling, health, nutrition, and the practical side of life with a dog.
At the end, we celebrate your progress with a puppy graduation.
Puppy Preschool is designed to support you at home just as much as it helps your puppy during class.
Your pet’s needs change as they move through life. A young puppy needs different care than an adult dog, and older cats often benefit from a closer look as small changes start to show.
We’re here for dogs and cats at every stage, from prevention and routine health checks to diagnostics, surgery, and gentle support in later years.
Seeing your pet regularly helps us learn what’s normal for them and spot changes early, so we can step in when it matters.
Everyday care covers consultations, health checks, vaccinations, desexing, dental care, support for senior pets, microchipping, weight checks, and advice on nutrition.
These visits are also a good time to talk about smaller concerns, like changes in appetite, movement, behaviour, or anything else you’ve noticed at home.
Sometimes, a physical exam isn’t quite enough to get the answers we need.
We offer diagnostic imaging, in-house pathology, orthopaedic surgery, and care for more complex health concerns.
What happens next depends on your pet, what we find, and the kind of care they need.
Puppies learn so much in their first months, and it’s a key time for building good habits and confidence.
Our puppy preschool gives young dogs and their families a gentle start, with early learning in a supportive setting. It’s a great way to build helpful habits right from the beginning.
We know that unexpected vet visits can put pressure on the family budget.
We can help with pet insurance claims and offer payment options that may make things easier for eligible clients. What’s available will depend on your insurer or payment provider.
I took my beautiful boy to get a concern I had checked. This was our first visit. We were greeted by friendly and caring staff. We felt in very good hands. I would highly recommend this practice if you need a vet.
This vet is the best I have been too and the most caring to an animal I have seen. There loyal and very friendly. Highly recommend for ur fur baby.
Dr Nigel is so nice he’s very caring and compassionate thorough in his work feel really comfortable bringing my boy Shnickles to c him staff are absolutely amazing very friendly and helpful wouldn’t go anywhere else
Couldn’t recommend this vet enough! It is a bit of a drive for me and my partner but went on a recommendation from my sister. Unfortunately, one of my cats had to have her leg amputated after she broke her leg and we were taken care of so well! The vets loved my baby and treated her with so much kindness and went above and beyond to keep any worries I had at bay. You can tell this vet genuinely cares about their patients and will go above and beyond to take care of you.
Have had great service and attention in particular from Vicky every time I have had to visit the clinic. Happy to recommend
Very professional in looking after my dog along with reasonable pricing excellent for great advice as usual.
Dr Richard was fantastic with my dog, who can be quite nervous at the vet. Even when things got a bit stressful, he stayed calm, kind, and professional the whole time. Really appreciated how understanding and gentle he was – you can tell he genuinely cares about animals. Highly recommend.
I took my little guy here after having other vets dismiss my concerns about his symptoms. I was blown away by the personable, kind, informative care we received. The reception staff are also so lovely. I’ve never seen my little guy so confident at the vet due to the doctor’s impeccable bedside manner. He’s been started on new meds and I’ve never seen my little guy so happy. The prices are incredibly reasonable as well.

Controlled socialisation gives puppies opportunities to interact with other dogs, people, handling, and new situations in a structured setting. Socialising with other puppies in a neutral, supervised environment can also reduce the chance of overwhelming or negative interactions that may affect future behaviour. Puppy Preschool combines these experiences with play and owner guidance, helping you build positive early experiences while learning how to support your puppy’s social development.
