A really useful and easy to comprehend course covering all aspects of holding a successful and positive puppy party.

Broken down into nice chunks so you can do it as you have time. Useful resources provided to help structure your own classes. Loved watching the puppy body language videos and having it broken down. Feeling much more confident about creating safe and successful puppy classes.



Good amount of info, nicely presented in bite sized chunks. Easy learning and/or good reminder if been out of class situation for a while. Thank you.

Really useful CPD, that has helped me prepare and carry out my first puppy party
I enjoyed the content of this course , it includes important puppy socialisation information and how to hold safe and effective puppy interaction


A great help and refresher in puppy classes. Easy to watch.

An enjoyable course, a great recap for me after taking time off for maternity leave.

I’ve just completed the Puppy Socials webinar and it has given me a great overview of what to consider when planning a puppy social session/ course.

Good webinar easy to follow. Full of helpful, current advice.
I feel I can now go ahead and get puppy parties started at the practice I work for & will be recommending this course to other members of my team.

I run puppy parties as a RVN and just wanted reassurance I was doing them right – this course has helped me to have that foundation to ensure I am doing them to the highest standard possible!


Thank you for providing this course – as veterinary nurses it is assumed that we should be able to just make these sessions appear out of thin air. This has helped me to structure our sessions better.
