Puppies are a huge financial and emotional investment, and your dog will hopefully be with you for the next decade or more. The first weeks with your puppy are crucial in determining the kind of dog they will become. Yet so many people decide to 'see how it goes', relying on a mish-mash of internet sites, 'other people's' advice and perhaps a book or two.
One of the best investments you can make in your puppy's future is getting proper professional support from the very beginning. We will guide you through every step including -
​
* How to ensure your puppy settles overnight
* House training
* The correct way to avoid playbiting
* How to deal with jumping up
* How to teach your puppy to be happy alone
* How to deal with chewing
* The three most important things to train first
and - essentially -
* How to socialise your puppy successfully
​
Every new puppy owner will gain an enormous amount from our Flying Start Puppy session. We will be able to answer all your questions and concerns, and give you guidance and games that minimise the chance of problems like aggression, possessiveness and separation anxiety.
This session lasts around one and a half hours and is £90 for a home visit and £75 on Zoom.

CHILDREN AND PUPPIES
​
Ensuring your children and puppy build a safe, positive relationship is essential if a puppy is to settle happily into a family home.

It's the ideal way for your children and your puppy to build a great relationship from the start. From £60.

These can be at home for puppies from 8 weeks old or, once your pup is vaccinated, at our secure indoor and outdoor training venues. From £50
