New Puppy

Kind, science-based training — tailored exclusively to you and your puppy (up to 24 weeks)

Welcoming a puppy into your life is exciting, emotional… and often overwhelming. With so much conflicting advice online, it’s easy to feel unsure about what’s right.

 

I offer bespoke, one-to-one puppy training in the comfort of your own home, designed to give you clarity, confidence and a calm, well-adjusted puppy.

 

With over 8 years’ professional experience training puppies and young dogs in a busy urban environment, I specialise in helping puppies thrive in busy, real-world environments — from city streets and cafés to public transport, visitors, children and everyday distractions.

 

Every puppy is an individual. Every household is different. That’s why all training is tailored, ethical and reward-based, focusing not just on behaviours, but on emotional wellbeing, communication and long-term success.​​

Our work together will support you through every stage of puppy life:

 

Calm Foundations for Confident Living

    •    Toilet training & accident prevention

    •    Crate training & safe independence

    •    Night-time routines & settling

    •    Nutrition guidance & realistic feeding routines

    •    Understanding puppy body language & communication

    •    Preventing fear, reactivity and overwhelm

    •    Building resilience and coping skills

    •    Supporting puppies living with children, cats or other pets
