Welcome to Our World Class Puppy Programme: 

Pups On-Line: From Feisty Puppy to Confident Dog

The most comprehensive, educational, and fun home study school for new puppy parents!

Bringing a puppy home?

Congratulations… and buckle up!

They’re cute, they’re cuddly—and they’re absolute chaos with paws.

We’re talking sock-stealing, ankle-nipping, bark-at-ghosts chaos.

Pups On-Line is here to save your sanity (and your furniture).

This online course gives you all the tools, know-how, and confidence you need to raise a well-rounded pup without having to guess your way through it.

Let’s get the important stuff sorted before the wild zoomies take over.


Why Start Online?

Because it’s way easier to teach your puppy the basics at home,

where they feel safe,

where you feel sane, and

where no one’s judging you for doing training in your pyjamas.  

Get step-by-step support with the things that matter: 
  • Toilet training that actually sticks 
  • Preventing nipping, barking, stealing and chaos 
  • Calm introductions to handling, noises, and the big wide world 
  • Build trust, focus, and listening from the very start 




Did You Know?
Most problem behaviours
start during the first 10
months of a dog's life!




What about meeting  other dogs?

Once your pup has all their vaccinations and some foundations under their belt, they're ready to take the next step and join our Dog Adventure Class:

A fun, friendly group class in Walvis Bay or Swakopmund where they can practise those skills with other dogs and people.

And don’t worry, you’ll be more prepared, too.

No one’s born knowing how to raise a puppy.

That’s what we’re here for.

I have  raised my own puppies, and I have guided many puppy parents. I understand how important it is to get it right from the beginning.


I know the frustration faced by pet parents who waited until their dog hits adolescence before reaching out for help and now their dog is unable to settle at home or lunging and barking at other dogs.

With management and training most of the common puppy issues can be resolved — but how much easier and enjoyable would it have been, if they'd developed good habits from the start. If they prevented the unwanted behaviours right from the beginning.

I want every new puppy parent to be prepared for the challenges and avoid the problems from the start. I want every family to have the dog of their dreams.

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 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.

I wanted to give our new excitable GSD puppy the best start because I realized she would be a a lot of dog for me and my kids. At Namib Dog Training I learned to handle her in different situations both on and off the leash. I learned to teach my dog many different commands but most importantly, I learned more about my dog’s personality in the training lessons, and how capable she is! Barbara provides a professional experience. My dog and I both look forward to the lesson every time.
