Puppy Training Professionals
At Puppy School, we train everyone to the same standard with a careful and comprehensive programme of tuition in both animal training and behaviour. We coach, mentor and monitor to ensure high standards are achieved and maintained.
A passion for reward based methods
In the Puppy School family, we all share a similar ethos - all are dedicated to making puppy's and their owners lives better through the distribution of reward-based training methods.
Many of our Puppy School tutors are dog training professionals when they join us, with thriving careers as dog walkers, groomers, vet nurses or behaviourists. Others however come to us from doing a totally unrelated day job – we have teachers, accountants, personal assistants and managing directors running classes under the Puppy School franchise. This gives us an unparalled diverse resource of knowledge that we share through forums, meetings and continued professional development courses.
Animal Behaviour Knowledge
As well as up-to-date knowledge of the science of animal training, it is also important for our tutors to be well trained in all aspects of puppy behaviour. This allows them to help owners to raise a happy and well adjusted puppy. To this end, full behaviour training is provided to our Puppy School tutors by experienced in-house Clinical Animal Behaviourists.

“Attending puppy school had allowed Ozzy to learn new skills. During the classes Sarah and Adam were very friendly and always on hand to offer good advice and tips. They were also very understanding of Ozzy's needs as he can be a nervous at times.”— Susan

“The venue was great, easy to park. It was interesting being part of group and watching others practice. Lottie is a brilliant instructor. Her knowledge of dog behaviour is impressive and she shared it readily. She was well prepared for every lesson. The booklet provided before the course was really helpful. Lottie was always happy to spend time discussing issues further with members of the class. She always encouraged the efforts of the owners and dogs. You can tell that Lottie is a passionate teacher. Thank you very much.”— Alison

“It’s a fantastic course. The small sizes also really allow for personal tailoring if the exercise to suit my puppy. Neal made me so at ease when I struggled with something and there was never a I time I felt embarrassed to ask him to reexplain something I was struggling with.”— Daniel

“Puppy School has been an all round excellent package from start to finish but the greatest asset to this training was Sally! Sally was calm, clear and responsive to us all so you feel you get the benefit from being in a group of handlers and puppies with all the benefits of that but also individual attention to support you and your puppies specific needs/issues. Banjo is a nervous puppy, Sally was very sensitive to this and managed situations so Banjo benefitted from all the training exercises and interaction in a very positive way. She also gave me lots of support in how to help him outside of class. It was also brilliant to have a booklet and online access at home to watch reminder supporting material videos of the things taught in each session. There were also a range of vouchers and free trial bags of different foods which has proven helpful in determining what works for Banjo. I have had several puppies over the years, and have been to several classes, this has been the best experience yet for both me and my puppy. Thanks especially to Sally! ”— Maria
