1:1 Puppy training
The Perfect Start
There's nothing quite like bringing home a new puppy! However, if you're already experiencing issues like biting, toileting indoors, jumping up, or separation stress, then you're certainly not alone; these are common problems that many owners struggle with, often feeling frustrated and overwhelmed without knowing where to turn. Similarly, if you want to get started with basic training and life skills right away, it can be challenging to know where to even start! Whatever your problems or goals, this package is designed specifically to support puppy parents. Get booked in now and take the first step towards clarity and calm!

common Puppy problems
Solving Common Struggles
These are issues that I work with every day, but even so, no two dogs or households are ever quite the same! My approach is always fully tailored to you and the way you experience these issues.
Endless biting and
chewing
Puppy teeth are super sharp, and although your puppy isn't trying to hurt you, there's no doubt that constant puppy biting can be painful, frustrating, and even dangerous in some cases. I'll share with you my tried and tested solution to resolve puppy biting for good!
Unable to leave puppy alone
Puppies are programmed to want to be with us, but how do we start to build up the strength to be able to spend short periods of time alone? I'll support you with this, using step-by-step guides to make progress easy and managable.
Toileting accidents indoors
Accidents will happen, but getting the right strategies in place from day 1 can help you and your puppy to really streamline the process of toilet training, and to keep those accidents to a true minimum! I'll give you my best tips and tools for toilet training success.
Jumping up and barking for attention
It might seem cute when they're small, but this is a behaviour that once learnt and repeated can be extremely hard to undo, and you might find it's a lot less cute when your puppy is fully grown! Let me help you to understand why this happens, and what to do in order to resolve it asap.
how it works
Two Sessions to Success
Two sessions is the perfect number to resolve existing problems, meet you initial goals, and to get your puppy their perfect start!
Session 01
Diagnostics and Discussion
In our first session, we'll talk solutions - based on your intake form, I'll come prepared with easy, step-by-step strategies tailored to your issues and goals, your puppy, and your lifestlye. You'll be able to apply these straight away, and can see results within your first week of training!
Session 02
Practical Life Skills
With your initial issues tackled, our second session will be focused on practical skills that your puppy can rely on for life - we'll work on simple and fun foundation exercises which teach focus, communication, and build your puppy's confidence.

Next steps...
Two sessions is a perfect number to start with, but there's always more to learn! Whether you're interested in continuing with your 1:1 training, or have your eye on group puppy classes, I have flexible options to suit you which we will discuss as we reach the end of your package.

Your Questions Answered
Still not certain? If you have questions, why not book your FREE no-obligation Discovery Call below, which will give us the chance to chat directly and gives you the opportunity to get a feel for what I'm like and whether we'll be a good fit!
At what age can we start training?
We can get started as soon as you like! One of the major benefits of beginning your puppy's training journey with 1:1 sessions is that as I come to you, we can start work right away. You'll be amazed at how much a young puppy can learn!
How quickly can I schedule my sessions?
You'll be able to book your first session right away, and usually I will have slots available for the upcoming week. Since consistency is key, I recommend scheduling your 2 sessions roughly one to two weeks apart to allow for practice in between.
What are your training methods like?
All of my training is certified fear and force free, designed to be kind and fun for everyone involved! This makes my training ideal for families, and everyone is encouraged to participate.
Do I need to do homework between sessions?
Yes! We lay the foundation during our time together, but your consistency at home is what solidifies your dog's learning. I'll be providing you with plenty of resources to make this easy, including demo videos and digital trackers to keep on top of practice and progress.
What if I have to reschedule a session?
Not a problem - All I require is 48 hours' notice for rescheduling to avoid losing a session credit. I understand life happens, and will do my best to get you rescheduled to another suitable time when given enough warning.
Building calm and connection — one step at a time. A supportive space for kind, science-based dog training that fits real life.
