Puppy School Dartford

Hello, my name is Caroline, and I am your local tutor.

The first thing you should know about me is that I am obsessed with dogs. I love all animals, but dogs are my passion. I have three of my own, Tilly and Marley (Westies) and my newest addition, my Puppy Izzy (Border Collie). I attend agility classes with Tilly and have recently started taking Izzy to teach her the foundation of Agility. I have also just passed my exams to be an Agility Instructor.

I was born with a dog in my life and have never been without a furry best friend. I am a firm believer that a bond between a dog and their person is such a blessing and one that should be treasured.

Growing up I always trained my dogs and the dogs in my area I used to be the local dog walker (before dog walking was even a thing. I missed something there) after school or college I would come home and take all the dogs over the park, if there was an older dog that couldn’t go for walks, I used to go around to play or just sit with them in the garden. I always felt my training was different from what I knew from books or even seen on TV at the time, and I had another way of training a kinder way.

There were a number of factors as to why I wanted to be a trainer, one of the main reasons was when I was dog walking. Looking after rescue dogs, walking reactive dogs, for me I really wanted a better understanding of their behaviour and how I can help them and new owners and their puppies.

I have spent the past three years researching, reading oh so many books, attending training classes, shadowing classes, going on several courses, hours, weeks and months or writing, spending time in rescues centres. I have loved and learned so much. (although the learning never stops.)

Puppy School syllabise is all about positive, reward-based training; it is family-friendly and fun. Not only that but working with Puppy School means I am always learning. We attend a number of course throughout the year, so we are always up to date with new learning which we are able to pass onto you.

I have so many wonderful teachings to show you. I can’t wait for you to join me on this adventure and life with your Puppy. Be it if you are a really experienced handler or first-time dog owner. It doesn’t matter. I am here to support you through your journey together.

My classes are family-friendly, so please feel free to bring the children, grandma and grandpa just don’t forget the dog  ?
