Don’t Shoot the Puppy…Unless With a Camera - a day of fun and filming at Puppy School
On a sunny Sunday in April, the scene was set for a truly special event as adorable puppies, their proud owners, local Puppy School tutors and professional videographer Anastasia Jobson came together to capture the heart and soul of Puppy School classes.
The filming not only highlighted the amazing training acheivements of puppies and their families in class, but also the fun and passion that our tutors have running classes. It will be used as part of Puppy School’s recruitment for prospective new tutors looking to become part of the Puppy School family.
We are proud to run our Tutor Training Course each year—an exclusive and comprehensive program designed to equip future tutors with everything they need to launch their own successful puppy classes. With a blend of online learning, video coaching, and in-person practical days with puppies and their owners, the course is built to suit different learning styles and provides the knowledge, skills, and business know-how required to thrive. Accessibility, diversity, and building confidence are key pillars of our training approach.
In order to capture the footage, two sets of ‘mock’ classes were run with local puppies attending, who have all experienced Puppy School classes first hand. Everyone who came along was helped to feel at ease, just as if they were in their own class, and tutors took turns to teach and demonstrate different exercises, coaching owners whilst they practised. It certainly didn’t feel like a filmed session and Anastasia was hardly noticed working busily in the background.
Hosting an event like this was also a brilliant way for the Puppy School community to come together. There were plenty of tail wags, laughs, and great conversations, plus lots of tired (but happy!) pups by the end of it. Many families shared how much they enjoyed being part of the day—and there was even time to relax and enjoy a well-earned tea break afterwards!
A huge thank you to everyone involved and taking part in the filming, it really was such a wonderful day. Safe to say we’re looking forward to seeing the final footage.

“The puppy training was fantastic! It helped us to identify our puppies needs, how he is developing and how to support his understanding. The trainer was so friendly and approachable, always taking time to chat before and after class. Our puppy has come so far in his training since the classes first started. A big thank you for all the support provided! ”— Robin
