How many people can attend Beau's Puppy School?
So we can all stay safe, we are limiting the number of people coming to the classes. We would appreciate it if a maximum of three people attend the classes over the next 5 weeks. If you require over 3 people to attend please contact us directly.
Can I bring my puppy's favorite toy?
If you find your puppy is more motivated with a toy rather than food you are welcome to bring something along. We will provide a source of enrichment for each puppy during class while we're going through information (I.e. a kong, pig ear or something to help distract them).
Can my puppy play off-leash?
We do try to provide some off-leash playtime for each puppy, however, we will do this at our discretion to ensure none of the puppies feel overwhelmed. We will match playgroups based on temperaments for short bursts to ensure everyone has a fair amount of time to socialise safely.
If you do not want your puppy to come off-leash please let us know as we are happy to accommodate your request.
How much Beau's Puppy School will cost me?

If you advise us at least 7 days before the 1st class and we can fill in your spot in the course, we will arrange the refund for you.
I already paid for my enrolment, but I cannot attend it due to COVID-19 isolation.

Beau’s Pet Hotel free pass not transferable.
After Puppy School, will my dog be suitable for daycare?
Once your puppy has had all 3x of their initial vaccinations they will be suitable to join us in daycare. Your puppy will be temperament tested on the first DayCare visit, which allows us to see your puppy’s suitability as well as the types of dogs she/he would get along with. This is a behavioural test with our trained staff to ensure the safest environment for your puppy whilst in Daycare with us. More information on temperament testing can be found here.
