Puppy School is a UK network of training classes for young puppies, founded by the renown author of "The Perfect Puppy" Gwen Bailey. I am proud that I am the Official Puppy School Tutor for North Devon. To find out more about Puppy School please visit the website www.puppyschool.co.uk 

At our puppy training classes we only use kind, effective techniques to ensure puppies are 'educated' to have good manners, be friendly with adults, children and other dogs, and to respond to commands. You will receive a full colour training manual which covers all the training exercises that we work on in class and also lots of helpful Puppy training tips. 

Puppy School is a set of six puppy training classes for puppies under 20 weeks that each last for 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 sport you choose to do later. The puppy training exercises gradually progress from easy to more complex, building on your puppy's understanding each week

If your puppy is too old for Puppy School, (over 20 weeks) we have an alternative Puppy training course available, please refer to Paws Control Puppy Plus Classes. Puppy Plus

During Puppy School you and your puppy will learn ::

• Come when called
• Sit, lie down, stand on command
• Walk on a loose lead without pulling
• Accept handling (including for vets and groomers)
• Wait
• 'Settle'
• 'Leave' when asked
• Accept people near to food bowls, bones and chew
• Stop play biting
• Be sociable with humans, children, and other puppies
• Greet people without jumping up
