The Puppy Library
Expert Video Tutorials with 6 months Access
Enjoy the benefits of having a professional guide you through teaching your puppy all they need to know, without having to commit to a set class time every week.
With over 40 step-by-step video tutorials you can watch and train at your own pace, whenever works best for you.
You have the flexibility to watch and digest the video content first, before introducing your puppy to an exercise, setting you both up for success. You can play, pause, rewind and revisit the videos as much as you like and will be able to enjoy access to The Puppy Library even after you and your puppy graduate!
We all know that being consistent is one of the most important aspects of training your puppy and The Puppy Library makes it easy! You no longer need to become the teacher, bringing other members of your family up to speed on what was covered at training class… With the Pups-On-Line Video Library you can sit back, relax and let us do the teaching

What students say:
Off to the best start with my puppy!
When my puppy Snoopy was only two months old I started the eight week puppy class with Barbara. With easy to follow exercises Snoopy and I got off on the right foot. Under Barbara’s watchful eyes (yes, even though it was via Zoom!) I learned how to encourage and reward his good behavior – and it did not take long and Snoopy knew what is expected from him. I learned to give clear commands (without talking much) and ensure that Snoopy always had fun while training. I can only recommend the puppy classes with Barbara for a fun way to learn how to get the best out of you and your puppy. With access to many resources I can always go back and look or read up in case I forgot something or need some new ideas to keep Snoopy entertained and happy.
Happy training!

I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone who needs puppy training.
We started online training with our 9 week old bull terrier, Finnley.
The Zoom classes during the lockdown-period worked very well. Finnley was easy to work with and the fact that we were in familiar surroundings (our own living room) was to our benefit as it kept distractions to the minimum.

I have two energetic pit bull puppies, Bo & Bella. Once grown up they could be a handful. Not to mention a double dose of energy. I have joined Barbara at Namib Dog Training to build a better relationship with my dogs. From day one when Barbara started the training session with us, I noticed immediate improvement with Bo & Bella. Barbara is very patient, calm and professional. I strongly recommend her.
