Designed for busy dog owners who want to give their puppy the very best start.
At Hound Town, our Tiny Tails Puppy Pre-school is a structured early development program created especially for young puppies in their most important learning stage.
Over 4 weeks, your puppy will attend 3 days per week for 5 hours per day, where they’ll build confidence, develop social skills, learn healthy routines, and enjoy positive early experiences in a safe, supervised indoor environment.
Led by our caring team — including a qualified vet nurse — this program is designed to help puppies grow into happy, confident, well-adjusted dogs.
Our Puppy Pre-School programme kicks off on the first Tuesday of every month
Held over 3 days each week For four weeks

Positive Reinforcement
We use reward-based methods to help puppies learn in a way that feels safe, fun, and encouraging.
Confidence Building
We help puppies gently work through new experiences, environments, sounds, textures, and social situations.
Training Throughout the Day
Short, age-appropriate learning moments are built naturally into the day to support focus, manners, and communication.
Social Play
Puppies are introduced to carefully supervised social interaction that encourages healthy play and positive puppy behavior.
Exploration
We create opportunities for puppies to explore their environment and build curiosity in a safe and controlled way.
Settling Exercises
Learning to calm down and switch off is just as important as learning to play. Puppies are guided through rest and settling time throughout the day.
Communication Skills Games
We use fun, engaging games to help puppies learn how to respond, interact, and connect with both people and other dogs.

For a total of 4 weeks (12 sessions)

-
short training sessions
-
exploration and enrichment
-
rest and settling time
Everything is designed to be safe, structured, and age-appropriate.
Is this training or daycare?
It’s a bit of both — but better.
Puppy Day School is a structured development program, combining:
-
socialisation
-
early learning
-
routine
-
supervised care
It’s more than daycare and more practical than a once-a-week puppy class.
Will my puppy be trained?
We focus on foundations, not formal obedience.
Your puppy will begin learning:
-
engagement with people
-
confidence in new environments
-
calmness and settling
-
positive behavior patterns
-
Is it safe for young puppies?
Yes — safety is our top priority.
-
Puppies are introduced carefully
-
Play is supervised at all times
-
Activities are age-appropriate
-
Rest is built into the day
We create a controlled, positive environment to support early development.
Do puppies need vaccinations?
Yes. Puppies must be:
-
Up to date with age-appropriate vaccinations
-
Healthy and fit to attend
You will need proof before starting.
What if my puppy is shy or nervous?
That’s completely okay — and actually very common.
Our program is designed to build confidence gently, at your puppy’s own pace, with lots of positive support.
What if my puppy is very energetic?
-
structured play
-
positive learning
-
appropriate social interaction
-
rest and reset time
-
Do you provide updates?
Yes — we’ll keep you updated on how your puppy is settling, socializing, and progressing throughout the program.
What happens after the 4 weeks?
By the end of the program, your puppy will have:
-
more confidence
-
better social skills
-
improved ability to settle
-
a strong foundation for future training
We can also guide you on next steps (daycare, ongoing socialization, etc).
