Puppy Training

Puppy foundations and socialisation

The early weeks of a puppy’s life are critical for shaping their future confidence and behaviour. Our specialized puppy service focuses on real-world exposure, basic focus, and gentle skill-building—ensuring your pup gets safe, structured support from day one.

To protect your puppy’s health while maximising their early learning window, we use strict safety precautions for puppies that are not yet fully vaccinated.

Pre-Vaccination Outings (Safe Early Exposure)

You don't have to wait for full vaccinations to start building a confident, well-adjusted dog. We offer safe, carried outings using dedicated puppy slings, clean blankets, and portable place beds.

Safe Sight & Sound Exposure: Carrying your pup in a secure sling allows them to watch cars, cyclists, children, and other dogs from a safe distance without touching the ground.

Controlled Place Training: Using fresh blankets and place beds on clean, raised surfaces lets your puppy practice settling in new environments while remaining completely isolated from potential ground contaminants.

Handling & Confidence Building: Gentle handling, noise desensitisation, and positive associations built at a calm, comfortable pace.

Post-Vaccination Outings

Once your puppy is fully vaccinated and cleared by your vet, we transition to ground-based outdoor training.

Leash & Recall Foundations: Learning to walk on a loose lead and build strong recall habits early on.

Real-World Manners: Teaching your pup to pass distractions calmly without rushing or jumping.

Environmental Confidence: Exploring different footpaths, park edges, and quiet town streets.

How to Get Started

Because puppy care requires careful coordination around vaccination dates, bookings are handled directly rather than through automatic online scheduling.

Existing clients can contact me directly to check calendar availability. If you are a new client, please submit an enquiry to schedule an Initial Consultation so we can map out a safe training plan tailored to your puppy's age and health status.
