Puppy School International tutors
Puppy School originally set out to become a UK network of puppy training tutors but since its inception, we have been contacted by many people overseas who are keen to learn the Puppy School techniques, benefit from the forum and join in with the training opportunities. Although Puppy School has no formal system for international members at present, some overseas trainers have been through our puppy training system and remain affiliated to us.
These include:
Turkey - Emir Ali Sadaghiani
Emir trained his first dog at the age of 8 and has been breeding GSDs since 1981. He started to spread the word to people in Turkey and Bulgaria about positive training in the 1990s. He has been affiliated to Puppy School since 2003.
Emir ilk kopegini 8 yas¸indayken egitti ve 1981 den buyana Alman Coban Kopegi uretmektedir. 1990 larda pozitif bazli egitimi Turkiye ve de Bulgaristanda insanlara vede kopek egitmenlere duyurmaya basladi. 2003 itibaren Puppy School bunyesine girmistir.
“Pozitif K-9, birebir kişiye özel eğitimler ve konsültasyonlar ile, köpeğinize nizami ve uygun davranmayı öğrettiği kadar, diğer insanlar, köpekler ve diğer hayvanlarla sosyalleşmesini sağlamaya çalışmaktadır.Benim inandığı şey şu dur: Köpekler, ailemizin bir parçası
dırlar. Bunun anlamı; onları yaşantımıza ve aktivitelerimize dahil ederiz. İyi eğitimli bir köpek, yaşantımıza ortak olur. Ve onun bu dostluğu son derece renkli ve eğlencelidir. Zaman ilerledikçe aramızda kurduğumuz bu ilişki öyle güçlenir ki, artık onlarsız bir yaşantıyı düşünemeyiz.”
At pozitif-k9 our private training and behaviour consultations (or group classes where possible) teach owners how to train puppies and dogs to behave at home and in public with other dogs and people of all ages using humane techniques.
My belief is that dogs are part of our family. They should be part of our lives and included in almost all activities. A well trained dog is a partner in our lives, and his/her friendship is enriching and fun. As time goes by, this bond between us becomes so powerful that life without them is incon

Training for overseas tutors
If you are from outside the UK and are able to undertake our training programme (two weekend courses set approximately 4 weeks apart in either Spring or Autumn), please fill in an application form which you can access via the ‘Want to become a tutor?’ pages.
Although the training course is designed for puppy training in the united kingdom, and you will have to adapt the training to what is suitable for your own country, there should be enough useful information to make it worthwhile. We look forward to hearing from you.
Alternatively, Gwen Bailey is sometimes available to give the Puppy School Tutor Training course (6 days) in other countries if someone is available to do the organisation. Please write to info@puppyschool.co.uk
NB: It is important that you are able to understand and speak English well enough to follow the lessons as no interpreter is available.
