This course if fantastic. As a veterinary nurse of 20 years I wanted a refreshment before setting up puppy parties in my clinic, this course has some great content and really good ideas and has really helped me plan my puppy parties. Thankyou.

Lots of useful information on how to run puppy classes. Things to consider, what to look for and especially staying within what you know and getting others involved to support you such as a trainer and a vet.


Enjoyed watching videos. Good mix of visual aids

Nice and quick and easy to follow- I thought the section on play was really valuable thank you

this course is an excellent foundation to starting puppy classes, very informative, excellent videos and resources, would definitely recommend

I liked the identifying and preventing problems module, I found the demonstration videos very helpful and they gave me a good idea of what to look out for and how to manage puppy parties. This course has given me alot of great information on what I should include in my up and coming puppy parties and lots of resources I can use.
I would have liked a little more information on some areas, but over all I found this a great course that I would certainly recommend.

The course would be very useful for any veterinary nurses thinking of starting up puppy pre school classes within the veterinary surgery

Course gives all the correct tools and resources for running puppy classes, I’m pre-certified with the CCAB so have a fair grasp on behaviour but definitely needed this structure and guidance to help me feel more confident before starting these sessions!

Well constructed and thought out, brief with main points. Good start to planning a puppy party within a practice! Easy to follow along, plenty of resources provided!

Highly recommend this course it prepares you to plan and gives access and ideas to templates which are really useful in assisting with planning.

so much content covered, such a useful course – was very interesting and will help me become more confident in leading puppy parties

I found this course really thorough and helpful for gathering ideas and materials to put puppy party sessions together. I feel that it has given me more confidence to spend time with clients and to feel more confident with puppy social interactions/basic training ideas.

Interesting and informative with some great ideas to get started with

So much good information here from Caroline, as always. Great mixture of written work and webinars, the visual examples were really interesting to watch and learn from. There really is so much covered here that would help set up puppy socialisation classes.
