PUPPY TRAINING

Little dog.
Big learning curve.

Practical guidance for the exciting, exhausting early days with your puppy.

You don’t need to teach everything this week.

There is a lot of puppy advice out there. We’ll focus on the things that make your day easier now and the foundations your puppy will use as they grow.

The plan follows your puppy’s stage, temperament and home routine, with short, achievable practice rather than an endless checklist.

Training goal: Build useful routines for biting, rest, handling and early lead skills.

FINDING YOUR STARTING POINT

A few things we can work through.

  • Toilet routines and managing the home environment.
  • Biting, chewing and appropriate outlets.
  • Name response, recall and simple cues.
  • Settling, rest and comfortable time apart.
  • Gentle handling and everyday care.
  • Lead introductions and thoughtful socialisation.

WHAT THE WORK CAN LOOK LIKE

Foundations for a life together.

Make routines clearer

Help your puppy understand where to rest, what to chew and how everyday life works.

Reward the useful moments

Learn what to notice, when to mark it and how to make a good response worth repeating.

Build confidence thoughtfully

Introduce the world at a level your puppy can manage, with room to observe and come back to you.

Socialisation is about how it feels.

Your puppy doesn’t need to greet every dog or person. We want manageable experiences, opportunities to observe and growing confidence in everyday situations.

We’ll discuss suitable locations with your puppy’s health and vaccination advice in mind.
