Supportive learning materials to assist you in your training journey

Once booked onto our Puppy School classes, you will be given a password and login details to access to our exclusive Puppy Club with its additional learning videos and supportive materials at no extra cost

The Puppy Club provides weekly online learning videos and useful hints and tips to aid the training journey and accompany our syllabus. This extra information is given to help owners raise puppies to be well-adjusted and responsive in all environments. The Good Puppy Pages give useful advice on many issues that most owners encounter while raising a puppy into adulthood. From play biting to toilet training to help with recall and more! 

Although all the information you will need to train your puppy will be given to you in class, you will need to set aside time every day to practice the exercises at home to make the most of the ideas you have been given. Training at home will allow you to progress further in class and will result in a better trained puppy at the end of the six weeks.

As part of the Puppy School course with us at  Puppy School Mid Cheshire, clients will also receive a helpful 28 page manual which is delivered to your door at no extra cost. Your Puppy School manual will allow you and your puppy to practice the techniques in lessons prior to the next class.

Puppy Greetings at Puppy School Mid Cheshire

Prolonged play with other pups can be detrimental to a puppies' social development, so at Puppy School Mid Cheshire, we take our puppy greetings very slowly, teaching you first how to teach your puppy to turn away from things of interest, and, later, from other puppies. This allows for carefully controlled, short but beautiful meetings between puppies, allowing them to make friends gradually and develop confidence.

In a similar way, puppies need to learn to be calm and happy to meet humans, so we have a special programme of introduction to other members of the class, allowing even shy puppies to feel safe when socialising, and, for those more boisterous, to learn how to greet humans appropriately without jumping.

What to expect from Puppy School classes

Disease Control

  • Dachshund puppy in class

Your puppy should be vaccinated prior to attending Puppy School Mid Cheshire classes, and cleared by your vet to mix with other puppies. Different vets have differing views on what is the best way to protect against contagious diseases depending on local disease conditions, so it is best to let them make the decision on what is best for your puppy. If you have any doubts before booking, please get in touch with us for assistance.

All puppies should be wormed with a prescription wormer before attending classes, and to reduce the risk of cross-infection, there will be no communal water bowl in class.

What Clients say
about Puppy School

  • “The course has been clearly well planned and thought through but the most positive aspect was Debbie’s delivery.”
    —   Matthew and Emily
  • “Great atmosphere. Knowledgeable tutor and a great start to training. Personal support where needed.”
    —   Sam
  • “Cooper and I gained a lot of knowledge from the class, plus it gave Cooper the chance to socialise with other people and other puppies too. The classes were enjoyable and fun, and more importantly we were able to learn at our own pace. I would definitely recommend Puppy School classes.”
    —   Rosalind
  • “Debbie and her assistant were so approachable right from the start. Having been to other puppy groups, I can honestly say this was amazing. No pressure or feeling like your puppy is misbehaving. The group was fantastic and everyone could have a laugh. Due to this, the atmosphere was relaxed and all of the puppies responded well to training. Loved it all, we didn't want the classes to end.”
    —   Michelle
  • “We really enjoyed our time at Puppy School and, as first time dog owners, the information was invaluable to us and our young children.”
