Puppy School
We changed our syllabus from puppy play to puppy greetings in 2023 and we have been refining our techniques and skills for this important exercise ever since. Puppy School is a network of UK based puppy trainers who share animal-welfare goals as well as a love of teaching and educating. In the 20 years since its inception, Puppy School has taught over 100,000 puppies and their owners. We are passionate about ensuring puppies are set up for success with great experiences very early in life. And we know we share this goal with the veterinary profession. We are excited to share this micro tutorial with you, giving you the skills to lead the way as a puppy friendly practice.
