KOALASK9 Kinder Puppies develop their social skills between 8 and 16 weeks of age. K9 Kinder is designed to use this period of your puppy's development to ensure he/she becomes a polite and well behaved canine citizen.The focus of K9 Kinder is on socialisation, not training, but we provide information on basic training. K9 Kinder provides a safe environment to learn how to socialise with people and other dogs. Classes are kept small so that time can be spent with each puppy and their owners.K9 Kinder also gives your puppy great memories of the veterinary hospital. Puppies who graduate from K9 Kinder are happy to come back to the hospital later in life.As well as socialisation of your puppy, K9 Kinder at Tanilba Bay Veterinary Hospital will provide you with information on:Preventive Medicine- Information on vaccinations, worming, flea and tick control, preventing heartworm and the importance of desexingToilet Training - Effective methods and some tricks for successful toilet trainingDiscipline - The correct ways to discipline your puppyDiet and feeding - How, when, where and what to feed your new puppyDental Care - maintenance of healthy teeth and gumsGrooming - What grooming is needed to your breed of puppy, and how to introduce grooming without your puppy becoming afraid Handling your puppy - Especially how to handle his/her feet, mouth, ears & eyesDangers in the Home - How to make your home and yard safe for your puppy.Exercise and play - How often and for how longThe Importance of training - How, when and where to train your puppy, basic training to sit, walk on a lead, lie down, come and stayProblem behaviours - Chewing, digging, jumping up on people etc. Why puppies do these things and how to prevent unwanted behavioursThe importance of microchippingDog LawsEmergency First Aid - What to do before you get to the vetsPet Health InsuranceBusiness HoursLifelearnSurgery BenefitsEmergenciesXmas Photos 10V2 Home pageOur TeamHealthcare ManagerDog GroomingHealthcare InformationContact UsDog VaccinationsToxic Foods DogsInsuranceCat vaccinationsPennHIPComfortisTick ParalysisDental DzMarmadukeOt Ex DogServices EquipmentDiseases Common in older petsKoalasLinksSpecial OffersTestMerchandising
