We run a four-week Puppy Classes course that covers general healthcare, obedience and training. Our classes also allow your puppy to socialise with other puppies at this critical early stage of life.
However the best thing about these classes is that they are so much fun, not only for puppies, but for owners too!
Important topics covered during our classes include:
- Socialisation and play
- Toilet training
- Night-time sleeping
- The importance of physical contact
- Basic obedience using verbal commands such as "sit", "watch/look", "drop", "roll over", "stay", "come", "settle", "on your bed/mat" and using hand signals
- Teething
- How to address common behavioural issues such as chewing, digging, nipping, jumping up, excitability etc.
- Enrichment and further training
- Healthcare topics including vaccination, heartworm prevention, worming, flea prevention, feeding and nutrition, nail clipping, bathing and grooming, sterilisation, microchipping and more!
Our course also includes two complimentary individual consultations with our qualified Veterinary Nurse teachers in the few months after graduation, to follow up on your puppy's training and for you to ask any further questions you may have.

An incredibly helpful and insightful class that not only taught us lots, but encouraged our nervous little pup Beans to come out of her shell and play with other pups
Puppy school was the highlight of the week for my puppy AND my 11 year old daughter. Both learnt many new things. I wish it could have lasted longer.
Great socialization aspect to expose new puppies to what the outside environment holds for their future. Vet nurses are both experienced and patient with the new puppies and thier humans Thank You.
Oneeka and Abbie were absolutely fantastic, knowledgable and friendly - all we could ask for.
Relaxed and fun environment! Stacey the vet nurse was so knowledgeable and taught us so much! Great socialisation for our Frenchie and the dog training was excellent! Highly recommend! Thank you so much!
The Puppy classes were the best! I learnt what and what not to expect of my puppy. She learnt how to interact with other puppies. We basically learnt together!! Thank you so much!
Had lots of fun at puppy class, good for my puppy to get used to other dogs and I learnt new information and met some lovely people.
Great way to get to know the local vet team. Lots of fun for the young pups, getting to meet and play together. Lots of helpful advice from the friendly staff to help our new family member to settle in to their new home.
Highly recommended friendly informative puppy classes. Instructor was prepared, approachable and very knowledgeable.
Wally as a puppy was full of energy and spirit, with this came some naughty behaviour. Riverton Vets Puppy School made puppy training a breeze. The skills gained from this puppy class helped us become more understanding dog parents and provided the opportunity for Wally to grow into the wonderful, well behaved, intelligent young dog he is today.
Stacey was very knowledgeable and connected with the owners and puppies very well. She made it fun and informative.
Georgie and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and Stacey was reassuring and extremely helpful, I would recommend to anyone.
Oneeka was fantastic during our puppy class, she had so many useful tips and tricks to share with us in addition to the curriculum she was delivering. I’m sure our puppy would agree that it was a must do for our doggie journey!
We desperately needed to attend puppy classes with our Australian Shepherd puppy, Baggy. I was hesitant at first because he wasn’t fully vaccinated yet because he was so small, but I had read how important puppy socialisation is. Riverton Rossmoyne Vets was the perfect location because everything is cleaned before the pups come into puppy class. Oneeka is also very hands on and offers a lot of constructive advice. Our pup is very boisterous and very friendly. Oneeka showed us how to massage him during instructional talk times so he could relax and settle between his training activities. I took my kids along so we could all be trained along with Baggy as we really wanted to have the best home environment for our boisterous pup and I wanted my kids to learn how important it is to respect dogs, even if it is their family pet dog. These puppy classes really assisted in this and my kids have a better understand of puppies and dogs. Another bonus to these classes is that Baggy absolutely loves going to Riverton Rossmoyne Vets, he recognises the staff voices and he expects lots of pats and treats!! He has been spoilt and loved at Riverton Rossmoyne Vets since he was a baby!!
The puppy classes at Riverton/ rossmoyne vet hospital was so informative and relaxing, plus the vet nurse oneeka kept the puppies and us entertained. Loved the graduation certificates and photos as well.
