Starting your new adventure the right way

Yay!

The day has finally arrived! Your new bundle of fur is ready to come and live with you.

You can’t wait, you’ve longed for this day for ages. You’ve done your research, you made sure the breeder was reputable, you’ve got all the kit - a bed, toys, leads, a lovely collar. You’ve even phoned the vet and got them registered.

You’re excited to start your life with your new best friend.

But there’s one thing still concerning you…

How will I make sure the puppy is happy and well behaved?

You’ve seen friends and family struggling with a dog that wasn’t properly coached.

You saw the hurt and frustration it caused.

You saw their relationship with their dog was strained.

And you vowed that would never be you.

You understood that the pooch wasn’t to blame, they’d just never been shown a better way.

You said that your dog would be as content as possible, and your relationship would be amazing.

But you knew that YOU would have to take responsibility for making that come true.

And come true in the right way. There’s no way you want to use cruel draconian methods to dominate or control your pup.

There must be a better way to build that perfect magical bond...

But how?

Well, don’t worry. You’ve come to the right place.

Here at Puppy school we don't focus on ‘obedience’ because ‘obedience’ isn’t a relationship.

Obedience demands and punishes.

We teach life skills which help you train your new best friend in a calm way, fostering love and respect between mum and dog.

We work with you to build your confidence and make sure you know exactly how to calmly and kindly handle any challenging behaviour and leave you with a happy well behaved dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the classes located?

Our classes are off Pye Corner, Harlow CM20 2RD

Your welcome pack will have full directions on how to find us.

How many puppies are in a class?

Our classes are small which means that you get individual coaching and your puppy is better able to concentrate and focus. We have a maximum of 5 puppies per class because of COVID-19.

Are your classes outside?

Yes. The classes are outside in a natural environment which helps them learn to listen to you when you are out and about on your every day walks.

What if the weather is bad?

In extreme weather that is dangerous such as snow or extreme heat we will deliver the class online on the same day and time as your face to face class.

What age can my puppy join?

Puppies typically join a week after their second injection but need to be under six months on the day they start class so that we can ensure the coaching, advice and exercises are relevant.

Can my family attend the classes with me?

Normally yes! However, until government guidelines allow more then one person to attend group training we unfortunately must say no.

When are your classes?

Our classes are on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and are based in Gilston, Harlow which is easily accessible for the surrounding areas such as Waltham Abbey, Ware, Sawbridgeworth, Bishops Stortford, Stansted, Ongar, Theydon Bois and Epping.

Can I book private training rather then group class?

Yes! We offer different grade packages that you can add to your face to face class or if you prefer private tuition we can help you with that. Click Here.
