Welcoming a new puppy into your home brings joy and companionship — but it also comes with the responsibility of early training. Puppies learn rapidly during their first few months, and this learning period shapes how they behave for life. That’s why enrolling in Puppy classes at The Vet Clinic in Auckland is one of the smartest steps you can take to raise a happy, confident, and well-behaved dog.
Looking for trusted puppy classes in Auckland? We run expert-led puppy behaviour and obedience training classes across East Auckland, Botany, and Manukau.. At The Vet Clinic, our puppy training programs are led by Professional trainers and designed to support both you and your pup through safe, effective, and positive early learning.
The early stages of a puppy’s life — between 8 and 16 weeks — are known as the “socialisation window.” During this time, puppies are more open to new experiences, people, and environments. What they learn (or don’t learn) during this phase has a lifelong impact on their behaviour.
Delaying training can result in fear, poor social skills, or difficulty with basic commands. Starting early helps your puppy grow into a calm, confident dog who can thrive in real-life situations.
At The Vet Clinic, we offer puppy behaviour classes in a veterinary-supervised setting ensuring your dog trains in a clean, safe, and supportive environment. Each session is led by our experienced team and designed to be low-stress and age-appropriate.
We use positive reinforcement methods tailored to each puppy’s personality, and we keep class sizes small for personalised guidance. Puppies are also introduced to essential experiences like gentle handling, weighing, and calm exposure to vet equipment preparing them for future visits.

If your puppy is sociable and thrives on interaction, group training is a great option. These sessions allow your dog to learn around other puppies, which improves their focus and social manners. It also teaches them to listen despite distractions — a vital skill in real life.
Group classes follow a set curriculum over several weeks, and they’re also more budget-friendly for many pet owners.
