From Puppy Pandemonium to Perfect Pup
Personalised 1-to-1 Puppy Training — calm, kind, and built around your family.
​
Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming — sleepless nights, nipping, toilet training setbacks, and moments when your puppy seems to have completely forgotten their name!
That’s where I come in.
​
My 1-to-1 Puppy Foundation Training focuses on helping you understand your puppy and support them as they learn how to be calm, confident, and resilient members of your family. Using proven, ethical methods, we’ll turn early chaos into connection — building trust and life skills that set your puppy up for success.
​

Together, we’ll nurture understanding, strengthen your bond, and help your puppy grow into a confident, happy, and well-mannered companion.
Handle common puppy challenges with confidence
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by common puppy challenges, you’ll master the skills and mindset to turn those moments into learning opportunities, creating a stress-free training experience that strengthens your puppy’s development.
​
Build a strong, positive relationship with your puppy
Training is a bonding experience! By using fun, positive methods, you’ll
strengthen your puppy’s trust and desire to listen, leading to a more
enjoyable and harmonious life together.
Gain confidence in managing and understanding puppy behaviours
Build your toolkit with practical strategies to help you handle common
puppy behaviours, reducing stress and preventing misunderstandings,
so you can focus on the positive and build your puppy’s confidence.
​
Learn how to socialise your puppy safely
Proper socialisation is essential for a well-rounded puppy. With professional guidance, you’ll learn to safely expose your puppy to new experiences, helping them grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog.
Equip your puppy with essential life skills
By building life skills now, you’ll set your puppy up for success in adulthood, reducing behavioural problems and giving them the foundation they need to thrive in any situation.
