Why a school for puppies?

Before the age of 6 months it is essential for the puppy to develop certain skills.
He must acquire sensory balance, sociability, awareness of hierarchy, and basic training.

The traditional method, with puppies mixed up together with a group of adult dogs for working sessions, is not appropriate for their psychological abilities and their need for play.

A lack of understanding between the puppy and his human family can lead to tension. This leads to anxiety, which causes inappropriate responses such as barking, destruction, or aggression. When the situation becomes untenable, the owners reach extreme solutions and either abandon the puppy or resort to euthanasia.

The puppy that has had the chance to go to Puppy School invented by Joseph ORTEGA, equivalent to our nursery school, has every opportunity to integrate into the life of his owners and that of our society, under the best possible conditions.

A puppy needs attention and affection for harmonious development. He will then become secure and well behaved!
