1-1 Puppy Support for all stages of development:

  • Thinking about getting a puppy but confused about what type of puppy would suit you best and concerned about finding a reputable breeder?

  • Is your new puppy arriving soon, and you need tips on puppy-proofing your life? Preparing ahead can make the transition smoother for both you and your furry friend.

  • Want to establish positive habits to help your pup grow into a well-adjusted and confident dog?

  • Need guidance with essential skills like: toilet training, recall, lead walking, crate training, jumping up, grooming, sleeping at night, chewing, and more?

  • Is your puppy showing signs of a behavioural issue such as reactivity which you would like help with before it becomes more of a problem?

  • Studies show that over a third of adult dogs exhibit behavioural issues, many of which could have been prevented with early training and preparation. Starting early with your new puppy can save a lot of trouble when they reach adolescence.

All puppy services are bespoke and entirely tailored to you and your puppy and what you wish to achieve. No two puppies are the same so no two training approaches are either. We will work to your puppies motivations and strengths to set them up for success.

All clients who have completed a full puppy course have the opportunity to book additional ‘pay as you go’ sessions for an hourly rate: as a refresher or to deal with any additional issues.

Thorough consultations and detailed client questionnaires are part of all courses, working together to assess what your and your puppy want to get out of your sessions, and set achievable goals to get there.

All courses are set at you and your puppies pace to avoid overwhelming or confusing your puppy and to ensure new skills and knowledge are securely established.

Support is always available, no client is left to work it all out for themselves. I want to set up my clients for success, to see confident puppies and happy owners.
