Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when you're trying to navigate toilet training, biting, settling, and all the things your puppy needs to learn.

The Puppy Starter Program provides personalised, one-on-one training to help you build good habits from the beginning, develop your puppy’s confidence, and create a strong foundation for everyday life.

Whether you're welcoming your first puppy or want guidance through those early challenges, we'll work together to help you understand your puppy and feel more confident raising them.

Find the Right Starting Point for You and Your Puppy

Every puppy is different, which is why you can choose to start with three sessions and decide later if you'd like to continue.

Puppy Foundations — 3 Sessions

Build the essential foundations for life at home. We'll focus on toilet training, puppy biting, settling, independence, early manners and helping you establish routines that work for your household.

The Complete Puppy Journey — 6 Sessions

Start with the same essential foundations, then continue developing your puppy's skills for the real world. We'll work on lead walking, recall foundations, focus around distractions and responding to you in different environments.

You don't have to commit to all six sessions upfront. Start with the foundations and decide whether you'd like to continue as your puppy develops.

What We'll Work On

Building Good Habits at Home

Help your puppy understand what's expected of them while making everyday life easier for you.

• Toilet training and establishing a consistent routine

• Managing puppy biting and encouraging appropriate play

• Crate training, settling and learning to be comfortable alone

• Household boundaries and calm behaviour

• Creating routines that support your puppy's needs

Confidence, Focus and Communication

Give your puppy the skills to learn, engage with you and navigate the world with greater confidence.

• Building engagement and responsiveness to you

• Introducing foundation cues such as sit, stay and recall

• Developing confidence through appropriate, positive experiences

• Learning to settle and manage new situations

• Supporting appropriate socialisation during the early stages of development

Preparing for the Real World

As your puppy develops, we'll build on those foundations and work towards skills that help make everyday outings more enjoyable.

• Developing calm lead-walking habits

• Building recall foundations and focus around distractions

• Practising around people, dogs and new environments

• Encouraging appropriate social skills and calm responses

• Helping your puppy learn to respond to you beyond the home

Your training plan will be tailored to your puppy's age, personality, current skills and individual needs.

Every Puppy Starter Program includes practical guidance and ongoing support to help you put what you learn into practice between sessions.

• Private 1:1 training sessions tailored to you and your puppy

• Personalised Puppy Roadmap with clear goals and guidance

• Direct text and WhatsApp support between sessions

If you choose to continue with the additional three sessions, we'll build on your puppy's progress and update your training plan as needed.

The Goal? A Confident Puppy and a Strong Foundation for Life.

Puppyhood is an important time to build habits, confidence and communication that can support your dog as they grow.

The aim isn't to create a perfect puppy overnight. It's to help you understand your dog, navigate challenges with confidence and develop skills that make everyday life easier.
