Owners usually have a hard time teaching good manners to their puppies. Because of this, they enroll them in a puppy training school. Puppy training schools teach puppies to be friendly and non-aggressive, well-behaved while at the same time well-mannered. Puppies will be exposed to adults, children and other puppies. They will train them to play with other puppies.

There are levels of training in a puppy training school that are similar to school levels of learning. The youngest level is puppy kindergarten, which includes puppies from 8 weeks to 5 1/2 months. This level can last as long as 6 weeks and is worth about US$ 100. There is the novice level for 6-month old puppies that has received minimum or no training and costs about US$ 20 per session. After a successful completion of the Novice level, the puppies will advance to the Intermediate level and after this level, the puppies will go to the Advanced level. Both the Intermediate and Advanced level each costs about US$ 15.

Aside from the training, a puppy training school also helps keep your puppy safe from rabies infection. The school will
ensure that all food and water to be taken by the puppies are safe from infection. All puppies are regularly monitored and ensured to take regular anti-rabies injections.

In puppy training schools, dog behavior experts are employed to assess each puppy's behavior. These behavior experts will observe a number of reactions that a puppy may manifest in various conditions such as; the puppy's way of showing anger, the puppy's behavior when misbehaving, the tendencies of a dog for obsessive-compulsive behavior when anxious, or when a dog does not like the dog food. Each assessment will provide an insight into the puppy's personality traits and what behavior must be changed or improved.

Puppies will experience an all-around learning as well as protection from illnesses. At the end of each module, owners will be proud to learn that their puppies has a new trick, its manners have been improved and that it is no longer shy of people, children and other puppies.
