What to expect from Puppy University
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.

To discuss whether this course would be suitable for your puppy or dog, please get in touch with your nearest Puppy School tutor who offers these classes.
