Puppy School at Orange Vet Hospital
Our Puppy School at OVH is run by Veterinary Nurses Rosie & Bridget and are always a very popular class for new pups.
Rosie is our Practice Manager, who is a Certificate IV qualified Veterinary Nurse with over 12 years of experience in the industry. She has always had a love for animals and a passion for training and behaviour; which led to her completing Delta Society’s’ Certificate IV in companion Animal Services in 2018.
Bridget has a bachelor’s degree in animal science, Certificate II in Animal Studies, Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and completed Steve & Vicki’s certificate of canine behaviour and training. She is currently working at Nestle as an Animal Technician taking care of training, enrichment and general care of dogs. She has a passion for animal behaviour and training.
Both of our trainers aim to start every puppy and their families off on the right ‘paw’ and set them up for success in their new homes to prevent unwanted behaviours before they even occur.

More information about our Puppy School
The course is of 5 weeks duration with weekly sessions of one hour held in our spacious reception area usually from 6.15pm. Due to the popularity of these classes we recommend booking in as soon as your new pup arrives to ensure you secure a place during the optimal training age window for your pup.
We encourage attendance to these classes for all new pups – even if the owners have been to classes with other dogs previously.
A misconception by some is that because they have the knowledge they can teach their own pup.
A second misconception is if the household has multiple pets – socialising with ‘siblings’ is very different from learning to socialise with pets outside the home environment.
The socialisation of pups at the early age of 8-14 weeks in combination with good manners training will pay lifelong dividends.
We encourage all members of the family who are going to be involved in pup training and education to come along to these classes.
Please call us (02) 6361 8388 for any enquiries or bookings for Puppy School classes.
