The sooner you start, the better. Puppy training and development can begin from a very young age, helping your puppy learn appropriate behaviours, build confidence and develop good habits before unwanted behaviours become established.

Every puppy is different, and individual training allows the program to be tailored specifically to your puppy's temperament, environment and learning needs. Our Puppy Starter Session provides personalised, one-on-one guidance in your own home, helping you learn how to train your puppy while addressing the behaviours that are most relevant to you and your family.

Puppy training can cover the essential skills your new puppy needs to become a well-rounded family dog. This can include obedience, communication, recall, lead manners, appropriate socialisation, environmental exposure and managing common puppy behaviours.

Early socialisation helps puppies become comfortable and confident around different people, environments, sounds, objects and experiences. Appropriate exposure during your puppy's early development can help reduce the risk of fear, anxiety and reactivity later in life.

Your shoes carry your scent and your puppy may find that comforting when left alone. Join my Puppy School 101 classes for more help with your new puppy.
