Dog and Puppy Training

Dogs are great companions that can enable us to have active and social lifestyles. All dogs will need training to teach them how to navigate the world they inhabit with you. Using kind teaching strategies will help to solidify the learning and increase you bond with your puppy or dog.

We are delighted to introduce our Puppy Course, designed to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.

Over a relaxed and supportive 4-week programme, we will help you create the best possible start with your new puppy.

You will learn about your puppy’s breed-specific needs and how these can influence their behaviour, as well as how puppies learn through motivation, bonding and positive strategies. We will guide you through helping your puppy settle confidently into their new home, family and the wider world around them. Our aim is to make this course both informative and fun.

We cover all the essential foundations, including:

Walking nicely on the lead
Coming back when called
Polite greeting behaviour
Thoughtful and positive socialisation
Teaching calm, settled behaviour
Comfortable with handling for groomer and vet visits

Each week also includes practical ideas for mental stimulation and enrichment activities to keep your puppy happy and engaged.

We will also help you get ahead of common challenges by covering ways to prevent behaviour problems, including separation-related behaviours, resource guarding, and mouthing or biting.

The course includes:

2 x 1.5-hour sessions
2 x 1-hour sessions
Course materials
Ongoing support via email or WhatsApp between sessions, should you need it.

This course is £300, for more information or to make a booking, please do not hesitate to get in touch — we would love to help you and your puppy get off to a great start. If you would like this adapted to your older puppy or adult dog we can discuss your needs.

Amy can also help you with stand alone sessions or bundles to help your puppy or dog to feel safe, engaged, and ready to learn, while supporting you to feel confident and enjoy the training process. She specialises in the everyday training skills that make life with your dog easier and more enjoyable.
