FAQ
What is the minimum age for a puppy to attend a dog school in Zurich?
Most Zurich dog schools accept puppies from 10-12 weeks once initial vaccinations have started. The socialisation window between weeks 8 and 16 is critical – do not wait.
Is the SKN course still mandatory in Zurich?
The theoretical part is still required in some cantons for first-time dog owners. Many Zurich schools still offer it as a solid foundation regardless of the current cantonal rule.
Group class or individual training — which does the dog school offer?
Both. A good school combines group training (socialisation, real-world distractions) with individual work when needed. Pick a school willing to adapt the programme to your dog.
