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!

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.
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.
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!!
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
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.
Loved coming here for puppy classes. They were very informative and helpful. Our puppy had so much fun and learned to socialise with other pups. Stacey, who was running our class was incredible, very good with the puppies in the class, knowledgeable and ready to help if needed at anytime. Highly recommend.
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!
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!
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.
I attended puppy classes with my new puppy Lilly. Lots of puppies all shapes and sizes even a Great Dane puppy. Oneeka had complete control of all the frisky puppies. Learnt such a lot at these sessions with follow up typed reminders given to all. I recommend taking any new puppy to the classes especially to socialize and what we were told was most important by puppy trainer Oneeka.
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.
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!
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.
Oneeka and Abbie were absolutely fantastic, knowledgable and friendly - all we could ask for.
