Betty

I can highly recommend Puppy school. I have owned dogs for over forty years but I still learnt lots of invaluable informationto help with life with my new puppy. Puppy School was fun as well as informative. Betty and I both enjoyed them so much, thank you Puppy School and Frankie.
Milou

Puppy School's training classes were engaging and fun for both me and my puppy. Sarah was lovely, enthusiastic and not at all judgemental of any puppies behaviour. The syllabus teaches us exerices that I didn’t even think of teaching, which solved problems I didn’t think could be solved!...
Zef

We are very grateful to Pen for helping us through a testing period with Zef, our boisterous 5-month-old labradoodle puppy, who was mouthy and jumpy and had difficulty settling...
Bobby

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 in lockdown giving me lots of support, advice and positive encouragement...
Millie

Our first puppy Millie joined Puppy School as an older puppy due to being put in lockdown just after we got her, she was just about 20 wks when we started with Gillian...
Luna

Karen and the team were so helpful and friendly and have helped to develop Luna with vital life skills. We had ongoing support in class, on the phone and additional tips by email.
Lottie

In over 40 years of dog ownership all our puppies (7 of them) have been taken to a “puppy school” to socialise them with other dogs and people. Suzanne Moores' Puppy School was far and away the very best puppy school we have attended. The class size and age group of the puppies was just right.
Mylo

We have just completed a six week Puppy School course with Claire Luscombe and I would highly recommend going to these classes. Claire made our time with her fun as well as very informative.
Dylan

Owner's name: Steph Thompson
Tutor's name: Alice Crick
Class: Stone, Gloucestershire
Comments:
Every puppy should go to Puppy School. It's been amazing watching Dylan change from a quiet, shy puppy into a confident, sociable puppy, and all thanks to our brilliant trainer Alice. The classes were small enough to not feel overwhelmed but big enough to provide a fun and social environment. Nothing was too much trouble for Alice and each week she would bring vetbed and kongs and a large variety of treats to help the puppies settle and keep them interested. The support we recieved from Alice, even from outside the classes was outstanding and she was always willing to help no matter how silly the question!
Binky

Comments:
We’ve just finished our 6 week course with Emily and I wanted to share just how thrilled we were. Binky is our first puppy and we knew that we had our hands full choosing a Beagle, but the skills we have learned at Puppy School have been absolutely invaluable. It was definitely as much about us learning, as Binky – and we had such fun doing it too. Binky started when she was 14 weeks old and really befitted from the socialisation with the other puppies. Although full of energy and confident around humans, Binky was more timid with other dogs and was very shy during the early weeks during socialisation sessions. On the last week it was so wonderful to see her rolling and bouncing around with the other puppies.
Zico

Comments:
Zico was our first dog and despite all the reading when he first arrived I went from so excited to completely overwhelmed with not knowing what do with a little furry tusnami in our life. Kirsty was there from the start with support through email and the puppy classes. As a result I have gone from wanting to send him back to the breeder to just completing his good companion award. Classes have helped to have a well behaved dog and owner. It was also good fun and helped me to bond with Zico and to become my best pal. I cannot recommend it enough. Thanks Kirsty
Leo

We have owned Alaskan Malamutes for quite a few years now and they all have one thing in common, they only do something if there is something in it for them!! An extremely intelligent breed and not one that can be easily fooled, even as a puppy! We believe that socialisation in those early weeks is absolutely critical for a Malamute puppy both with humans and other dogs. We decided that Puppy School was the way to go with their positive reward based training which suits the Malamute. Leo, our newest addition to the tribe, attended the full 6 week course back in winter 2012 he absolutely loved it and even now when we walk past the village hall he wants to go in!
Billy

Owner's name: Alison & Roddy Wiltshire
Tutor's name: Tina Griffiths
Class: Cardiff
Billy's first night at Puppy School was hard work we couldn't even get him in through the door he was so shy and timid. Each week saw his confidence grow, and even though he was the smallest puppy in the class by the end of the course he was confident and happy to mix with the other puppies. Tina was an excellent tutor whose calm manner helped us all.
