Puppy School is a set of six puppy training classes lasting one hour. The comprehensive programme has been carefully designed to take you through all the obedience basics giving you a good foundation for life with your new puppy or for any dog training or sport you choose to do later.
The puppy training exercises gradually progress from easy to more complex, building on your puppy's understanding and reliability each week.
Only reward-based puppy training methods are used at Puppy School. Treats, toys and praise are used to encourage puppies to be well behaved. No bullying or rough handling is tolerated.
All Puppy School Tutors are trained by Gwen Bailey, internationally renowned animal behaviourist specializing in education of puppies, correct placement and assessment of rescue dogs, and the successful rehabilitation of problem dogs living in families. Gwen has a wealth of practical experience as well as an up-to-date academic knowledge of the science of animal behaviour.

Puppy School tutors are chosen for their people-skills as well as their puppy training abilities. Encouragement and praise are used to help you acquire the skills you need to train your puppy. No humiliation or shaming of owners will occur and all lessons are fun and sociable with a happy, friendly atmosphere.
Puppy Training - Newport
Puppy University (5 to 12 months)
At Puppy University you and your puppy will keep training and advance on what you have already learned.
Puppy University is a set of six training classes lasting one hour each week.
The comprehensive programme has been specifically designed to develop further training and motivation. Each training exercise gradually progresses from easy to more complex activities, building on your dog's understanding and reliability each week.
-
Puppy University is designed to improve the bond and working relationship between you and your dog, improving focus in distracting situations.
-
It is our aim that everyone attending our Puppy University classes learns easily in a comfortable and encouraging atmosphere.
-
At the end of our six-week course, dogs ‘graduate’ and receive a very special Puppy University; rosette and certificate for completing the course.
*Please note that unlike Puppy School, Puppy University does not include managed off lead play due to the stage and development in your dog’s life which includes the recent materialisation of hormones. Dogs do not need to be spayed/neutered to attend but care will be taken at all times*.
