PRE-PUPPY 101
A 90 minute consultation to prepare you for puppy parenthood.
Getting a new puppy is a momentous event for anyone - they are delightful bundles of fluff and cute and joy, what's not to love? The reality is that they are also hard work!
Many people have told me it feels like having a new baby in the house; the comparison isn't too far off when it comes to commitment and learning curves (both human and canine)! This change in pace that is about to land in your life does not need to be traumatic though. With preparation and some good resources under your belt, you can get on with welcoming and enjoying your new addition.
​
The Pre-Puppy 101 Consultation is designed to clue you in with what to expect and how to take those pending changes in your stride. From managing puppy in the home and building a routine that works for you, to early training and socialisation goals, I will talk you through all you need to know to be prepared and address any specific concerns you may have.

"STARTING OFF ON THE RIGHT PAW"
PUPPY COURSE
A 1-to-1 puppy training course to help owners navigate those crucial first weeks after bringing pup home

​
Covering:
- puppy practicalities like toilet training, crate training and sleep routines;
- your must-have obedience training toolkit;
- forging good habits to take into adulthood (and dodging the bad ones!);
- safeguarding against future problems through effective socialisation and confidence training;
- and everything in-between!

MORE THAN SIT'S
TEEN-PUPPY CLASS
A group adolescent dog training course aimed at helping slightly older pups and their owners in those tricky months between puppy- and adulthood.
After all the hard graft of the early weeks, it can be quite a shock when your once-sweet, compliant pup turns in to a wayward, unresponsive adolescent. From between 6 to 18 months (though it can depend on the individual), dogs enter a developmental phase similar to our human teenagers, bringing all those corresponding complications and frustrations with them.
​
Comprising of one 1-to-1 session and five weekly group classes, this course focuses on:
- how adolescence is affecting your dog and you;
- understanding the neurological and physiological changes adolescent pups are going through;
- identifying what this means in practical terms;
- practising strategies we can use to keep our teen-pups focused, responsive and thriving.
​
Note: this class is run on-demand. Numbers are capped at 4-6 pups per class (dependent on personality type) to ensure all participants are supported appropriately.
