Puppy School Training Manual

Puppy School Manual

A Puppy School Manual is provided FREE of charge! Our manual is designed to give you all the extra information you need and to help you practice the exercises we teach in classes at home. Our techniques are based on science and years of experience, so we know they work, but it is up to you and your family to do the practice every day to ensure a thorough and complete learning experience. For a well-behaved, well-trained dog, it is essential to practice everything little and often throughout the week.

We are proud to have Natures Menu as our sponsors as we share a common interest in the welfare and wellbeing of puppies and dogs.
