Howling Success Dog Training and Behaviour

Bringing a puppy home is exciting, overwhelming, joyful, exhausting… sometimes all before breakfast. Puppy School at Howling Success is designed to support you through that special but often trying stage of dog guardianship – not just by teaching your puppy skills, but by helping you become a confident, capable handler who truly understands their dog.

Our focus goes well beyond “sit, drop, stay”. The real goal of our Puppy School is to help you understand your puppy’s needs, how they learn, and how to set them up for the potentially tricky time of adolescence in the months that are coming.

What Makes Our Puppy School Different?
This is not a loud free‑for‑all or a box‑ticking obedience class. We keep classes intentionally small – capped at just four puppies per group – so every guardian gets individual coaching, real feedback, and time to ask questions. You won’t be lost in the crowd, and your puppy won’t be overwhelmed.

You’ll be taught by Jess Sandstrom, a qualified and experienced dog trainer with over 10 years professional experience helping guardians build strong, practical skills they can use in the real world.
