PUPPY
TRAINING
Start Early to Start Right
Raising a puppy is one of the most joyous and challenging experiences of your life. Puppies need constant play, tummy rubs, family time, lots of exploration time, adequate confinement time, sleep, and so much more. Puppies have different needs depending on their age, and even if those intense first few weeks things may ease off, suddenly behaviours like puppy biting and jumping start to surface. Trying to see life from your puppy’s perspective can be hard when he's just chewed your favourite pair of shoes!
The first three months of your puppy’s life are just too important to squander. Whether you just need a little guidance or you're looking for an all-inclusive package to cover all the bases, CleverPawz, Puppy Training, Hobart has a program to meet your needs.

puppy Socialisation
a safe place to socialise
Socialisation is critical for your puppy’s ability to cope as an adult dog and without it, can lead to lifelong deficits. Don’t miss your puppy’s socialisation window (up to 16 weeks) when they are most receptive to new and novel experiences.
Puppy socialisation is included as part of the Puppy Start Right Package. Additional play dates may be suitable for puppies once they have completed the Puppy Course. Play dates will be approximately 20-30 minutes in a supervised, off-leash area. Please get in touch to determine suitability.
Single session: $25
Package of 5: $100
