Puppies!

Puppy Training begins the moment you encounter your pup and continues over the life of your dog.

Your dog is never too young to begin training and the earlier you start, the better.  

You may have heard about the importance of socialising with your puppy. But did you also know that poor, incorrect socialisation can be more damaging than none at all!

​

Our main focus with puppies is teaching them confidence, social behaviour and manners, habituating touch, and handling and show you how to avoid the common mistakes with your puppy, that lead to unwanted adult behaviours.

Puppy   Care & Train

Service

When the time comes that you have to leave your puppy at home alone can be a daunting time, more so if your puppy is not suited to a day-care setting, for one reason or another.

Rest assured your puppy will be in great hands with a visit from our experienced and qualified trainer.

​

All aspect of puppy care is carried out during the hour visit. Including feeding, toileting, cleaning up accidents, and playtime. As well as continuing their critical socialisation and introducing training skills.

​

Remember, Raising a puppy is not easy. Yes, they're extremely cute and quite capable of wrapping us around their paw, but as responsible caregiver, we must give them clear guidance of what's acceptable and what's not.

We can't express how important the first few months with your puppy is. It breaks our hearts seeing the hundreds of adolescent dogs surrendered each year to shelters, purely down to their behaviour not being compatible with domestic living.  

​

Every second of every day your puppy is learning, watching, and trying to understand living in a home.

If you don't want a 40kg adult dog jumping up at you as soon as you come through the door, positively reinforce a 'sit' whilst they are still a puppy.
