Eazy Dog Training Puppy Classes in Camperdown include:
1st Class: Basic Obedience
The first class focuses on building a strong foundation in dog training, with a specific emphasis on how to adapt techniques for puppies. We’ll introduce marker training to establish clear communication, and your puppy will begin learning essential cues including sit, down, stay, and come.
2nd Class: Socialisation
The second class focuses on understanding your dog’s body language and the role of positive, structured socialisation. Learning to read your puppy’s communication helps you prevent future behavioural issues and protect them from overwhelming or negative experiences. Puppies will also learn sound & object desensitisation and positive handling exercises to build confidence and trust in everyday situations.
3rd Class: Manners
Learn how to set clear boundaries, teach polite manners, and set your puppy up for long-term success. We’ll cover how to walk your puppy on a loose leash and how to manage calm, polite greetings with people and other dogs. Puppies will practise calm waiting, greeting without jumping, and the “leave it” cue. You’ll also receive practical guidance on toilet training, chewing, puppy biting, destructive behaviours, and other common puppy challenges.
4th Class: Mental Stimulation
Learn how to keep your puppy mentally stimulated and engaged, helping to reduce the risk of separation anxiety, destructive behaviours, and obsessive habits. Puppies will be introduced to the foundations of nose work, simple tricks, and enrichment games that build confidence and focus. We’ll also cover loose-leash walking skills and provide guidance on encouraging independence and calm behaviour at home.

What Age Should Your Puppy Attend Our Camperdown Puppy School?
All puppies in my classes must be 8-16 weeks of age and have had at least the first vaccination.
8-12 Weeks Is the Ideal Time for Puppy School
A puppy has a key developmental period that ends around 12 weeks of age. That’s why the first 12 weeks are the most crucial weeks for socialization. If you want to raise a balanced, confident, social and friendly dog, this is the best time for puppy school. But don’t worry if your pup is older, the 16 weeks of age limit still applies!
Breeders and vets often recommend waiting until puppies are fully vaccinated at 16 weeks before starting socialization (with an additional two weeks for the vaccine to take full effect). However, following this advice can lead to behavioral problems like fear, timidity, antisocial behavior, and even aggression. I encounter dogs with these issues regularly.
Why is this a problem? Research shows that if puppies aren’t properly socialized before 16 weeks of age, they may never fully adjust to new experiences. This behavior stems from a survival instinct inherited from wolves — anything puppies are exposed to positively before 16 weeks becomes familiar and acceptable. After this critical period, puppies become less adaptable to new situations. Beyond this window, we can only manage their behavior, and although we can improve it, the results will never be as effective as early socialization. This is especially common in rescue dogs, who often have no socialization before four months of age and develop issues with other dogs, people, and environments. Unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen with many puppies who’ve been kept from experiences until after their final vaccination, resulting in severe anxiety and fearfulness.
What is puppy training?
Puppy training is about teaching essential behaviours and skills during the most receptive phase of your dog’s life. From basic obedience like sit, down, stay and come, to socialisation, impulse control and leash manners — it’s a structured approach that builds good habits from day one. It also gives you practical tools to handle common situations: meeting new dogs and people, encountering distractions, or managing anxiety in new environments.
What age can my puppy join puppy classes?
Puppies can join from 8 weeks of age, as long as they’ve had their first vaccination. Our Camperdown classes run until 16 weeks — and we only use private, safe indoor locations, never public parks, which keeps health risks extremely low. The earlier you start, the better the outcome.
When is the best time to join puppy school?
The earlier the better — ideally from 8 weeks of age. The most critical developmental window for socialisation is between 8 and 12 weeks. Puppies who start during this window are significantly more likely to grow into confident, social adult dogs. Puppy school remains open until 16 weeks, and our Teen Dog Classes are a great option beyond that age.
My puppy hasn't been fully vaccinated yet, can I still join puppy school?
Yes — and in fact, the earlier the better. The critical socialisation window is 8–12 weeks, so waiting for full vaccination (typically at 16 weeks) means missing it entirely. Research consistently shows that well-managed puppy schools in clean, private locations carry no meaningful health risk. Our Camperdown venue is cleaned with F10, the same disinfectant used by veterinary clinics. The only vaccination we require is the first one.
How many puppies are in each Camperdown puppy class?
Our Camperdown puppy classes run with a maximum of 8 puppies per class. This means every puppy and owner gets genuine individual attention throughout each session. It also keeps socialisation structured and calm — far better for learning than a large, overwhelming group.
My puppy is over 16 weeks — can they still attend puppy school?
Our Camperdown puppy preschool is designed for puppies up to 16 weeks, within the critical socialisation window. If your pup is older, our Teen Dog Classes are the perfect fit — covering all the foundations and tackling common adolescent behaviours head-on.
What will my puppy learn in the Camperdown puppy classes?
Our 4-week puppy class covers basic commands (sit, down, stay, come), socialisation, impulse control, leash manners and common issues like biting and jumping up. You’ll also learn how dogs think, so your training stays effective and consistent at home between classes.
Is the Camperdown puppy preschool suitable for small breeds?
Absolutely! Our puppy classes welcome all breeds and sizes. Socialisation is always managed carefully so every puppy — from a tiny Chihuahua to a large Labrador — has a safe, positive experience. Small breeds especially benefit from structured early socialisation.
Is there still availability in the Camperdown puppy school?
Check our live booking calendar above — if a Camperdown puppy class is sold out it will show as unavailable. If it’s showing, it’s bookable! Classes fill up quickly so we recommend booking as soon as your puppy has had their first vaccination.
