Learning About Dog Body Language

Dogs find it hard to understand our language, and so it really helps if we can understand theirs. Their language is all about signaling with their bodies and it's amazing how much they say if we take the time to look and listen. Watch the following videos to find out more.

about Puppy School

  • “I wanted to share my gratitude towards my puppy school tutor in Chichester, Louise Williamson. She has really gone above and beyond to help me giving me lots of support, advice and positive encouragement.”

  • “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! ”

  • “Although we had previously owned a dog, we had never attended group training sessions and genuinely felt that we greatly benefited from this setting. Cami absolutely loves seeing other dogs, so it was a fantastic way for her to learn to socialise with them while we also learned how to train her properly using reward-based training. Louise was also a fountain of knowledge in relation to anything and everything to do with dogs.”

  • “Alice was absolutely lovely and helped us with some issues that weren't covered in the syllabus, she was so knowledgeable about everything puppy behaviours and she taught the class well. The venue was great, there was plenty of space for each puppy and for exercises without it being too big and scary. Nelly loved attending puppy school and we learnt so much about dog training and behaviour.”
