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.

Highly recommended friendly informative puppy classes. Instructor was prepared, approachable and very knowledgeable.
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
