Adolescent/
Dog Training Classes
Puppy University
Puppy University is my follow-on course from Puppy School.
Puppy University courses are designed for puppies and dogs that have graduated from a
Puppy School course or similar dog training course and are looking to continue their training.
Puppy University is a set of six training classes lasting one hour each week and can be practised at home using the comprehensive notes which is provided when you sign up to the classes.
It is a safe and fun environment for you and your puppy to learn and socialise. At Puppy School only kind and positive methods are used to help you train your puppy.
What to expect at Puppy University
Puppy University is designed to offer a structured yet fun and educational course that tackles some of the challenges of owning an adolescent dog.
Puppy University is designed to improve the bond and working relationship between you and your dog, improving focus in distracting situations.
Each training exercise gradually progresses from easy to more complex activities, building on your dog's understanding and reliability each week.
*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*.

SuperPup Course

Training exercises covered
Wrapped up in SuperPup there are serious training exercises such as help with door control, help with ‘recall’, help with ‘loose lead work’ and more tricks to keep those brains sharp! These fun exercises will build on lessons that you learnt in Puppy School and will help you to develop your dog’s skills through a series of clever yet easy challenges.
SuperPup aims to provide you with structured practice of all essential training skills and help you to keep on practising your dog training into adolescence and beyond!
The recommended age for puppies attending SuperPup classes is five months old (or as soon as your puppy has finished the Puppy School course or equivalent). SuperPup is also suitable for those owners and dogs who have not attend Puppy School but who have already secured a basic level of training.
