About

The first thing you should know about me is that I am obsessed with dogs. If they did a scan of my brain, it would be in the shape of a one. I love all animals, but dogs are my thing. I have three of my own, two westies and a border collie, and hope to get a working cocker soon.

Watta an excellent class to begin training your four legged family member. Caroline is an excellent teacher and I can’t recommend her high enough.

12 April 2023

For a first-time puppy owner, everything was very new to us. Puppy school helped us and our puppy to gain confidence and learn the do's and don'ts. We have watched our puppy grow throughout the last 6 weeks at puppy school and appreciated everything we have learned from Caroline.
Caroline managed to make learning fun and have given us the tools to train our puppy.
Caroline is an amazing teacher/trainer, and we are so glad we have had the opportunity to learn from the best.

Caroline was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable would highly recommend her puppy classes always there to help and the classes are never rushed and lots of helpful information. My children learnt so much from her and now know how to train their puppy properly. More...

Caroline is so warm and welcoming both to the puppies and the humans in the room! We all very much looked forward to puppy class every week! The lessons are fun, interact and informative! They encourage training through reward and growing that special bond with your puppy!
Caroline is so knowledgeable and always on hard to offer practical advice and this advice has really made a big difference to us and our puppy! We will be booking for the next stage of training! Thank you Caroline!

I rated Puppy School 5 stars for our professional, friendly, informative teacher Caroline. She is a true asset to Puppy School . Our class of 6 were certainly a mixture of breeds from my energetic Vizsla to smaller timid puppies. Caroline had time for us all individually and it was great to watch the puppies grow and learn each week. The what’s app group was great for sharing ideas and Caroline sent us plenty of info from training to diets. I would thoroughly recommend Puppy School especially if you are lucky to attend one of Caroline’s courses. Thank you and well done. More...

Caroline is lovely, very approachable and friendly and willing to help with anything you ask. The 3 week Rapid Recall class has just finished and I am eager to continue the practice and see what I have learnt pay off with my pup. Indoor training is brill, now into the real world. Fantastic tips and course which I have no doubt will work! More...

Caroline from Puppy School Dartford was recommended to me and although I was a bit unsure if online classes would work we joined up.
I needn't have worried the classes were informative and fun and both us and our puppy enjoyed the training and the advice of an experienced dog trainer.
Great communication, we received an email each week covering our class content with useful videos and links and had a whatsapp group to share information and ask questions.
Caroline shows a true passion for all things doggy and I hope to attend more of her classes in the future.

Recall 1-2-3 (online)

What a fantastic 3 week course that we did online with our JRT - Roxie. The delivery was clear, the course had great structure, weekly activities to complete and handouts that guided us through the 3 weeks.
Our recall with Roxie was a little hit and miss, depending on how she was feeling and how switched on we were. From week 2 into week 3 we noticed a transformational change in Roxie and our attitude towards the most effective way dogs bounce back as a recall. And it was all about having fun with the training that we did with Caroline.
Don’t be put off by it being online - it actually works best that way because of no distractions to get the foundation of bounce back recalls.
Thank you Caroline for making this class informative, easy and FUN!!!

After successful and enjoyable puppy school training, we decided to join ‘Recall 1-2-3’ to work on our pup’s recall! Another fun, enjoyable and informative course with lots of useful tools for successful recall! We have definitely learnt some helpful tips that we can continue to build on! Caroline is so lovely, knowledgable and helpful that even when the course ends you can be assured she will still be happy to help if needed! I think this would be the perfect follow on course from puppy school and wish it had been available sooner! Although it is proof that you can still achieve successful recall at any age! More...

Caroline and Puppy School Dartford are great. My dog had advanced from initial puppy training to Super Pup training and he loved it. The exercises were more challenging for the puppies (and owners!) Caroline is very clear and patient.
The only down side was that it was a virtual course so was dependent on broadband speed and stability.

We would highly recommend Caroline. Caroline was extremely helpful and went above and beyond for our family. After initially being let down by another puppy class, we were fortunate to find Caroline's Puppy School Dartford! She was so helpful and accommodating. Our puppy also fell poorly and Caroline was fantastic in helping us 1-2-1 until we could join the class. We then faced lockdown and enrolled on online training. Caroline was fantastic at delivering the classes, with lots of helpful suggestions both in and after class! It is clear that she has a genuine love of dogs and is extremely knowledgeable! We hope to continue training in the future! Would highly recommend to anyone! More...

Caroline was brilliant with the whole class. She was patient and had lots of toys and treats for us to use with the puppies and to test them with as distractions.
The course was well organised and great fun!

Caroline was brilliant - very enthusiastic and very caring. She really took time to get to know the puppies and it felt very much like a personalised course. Excellent value, we really learned how to look after our puppy. Would highly recommend. More...

Caroline was fantastic at helping us with our puppy! She was more than happy to answer all of our questions, you can tell she has a genuine passion for training and treated our puppy as if she was her own. I could not recommend Caroline enough and can’t wait to continue training with her. More...

Q&As

Dogs, helping people and their dogs experience the best life. So many dogs go into rescue centres I want to do my part in helping clients train their dog so they dont need to give them up. Training is so important as a pervious dog walker dealing with rescue dogs, or dogs that haven’t been exposed to the world is heartbreaking. I really want to do my bit to help. Thats just one of the reasons I joined Puppy School.

Losing my sister and brother in law four years ago. It really made me think about what makes me happy so I started dog walking and training to be a puppy/dog trainer. Plus anyone who knows me knows that working with dogs just makes sense.

You’ll have someone honest, dedicated, and qulified. When I do something I make sure its done correctly. I like to offer a bespoke service. If I cant help I will help you find someone who can. Puppy School Dartford is part if a wider team of trainers and behaviourest so you are in good hands. I have spent three years training. I also continue to attend courses to make sure my training is at the highest level and up to date.
