1 - 1 Puppy Coaching 

Bringing a puppy home is exciting but it can also feel slightly overwhelming. I offer personalised, in home puppy training designed to give you and your puppy confidence, extra support and the guidance needed to ensure a stress free transition in your new life together

Why puppy coaching?

Puppy coaching gives your puppy the best start in life, supporting their training and development during their most important learning stages. Early guidance helps build good manners, confidence and positive socialisation, while preventing unwanted behaviours from becoming established. Through positive, structured and supportive sessions, I help guide your puppy through new experiences and help them settle into family life, setting them up to grow into a happy, balanced and resilient adult dog.

The Pre Puppy Package 

The Pre-Puppy Preparation Package is designed to help you feel confident, organised and fully prepared for your new arrival. Together, we’ll make sure everything is set up and ready, from creating the right home environment to preparing for those important first few days.

You’ll receive everything included in the Puppy Coaching Package, plus additional guidance and support before your puppy arrives.

Perfect for first-time puppy owners or anyone wanting extra preparation and peace of mind.

Week 1 - Household set up and support 

We build on:

  • Independence building
  • Toilet training
  • Resource guarding prevention

We also establish:

  • Feeding times
  • Sleep schedules
  • Self settling 
  • Socialisation 

Your puppy will learn:

• A reward marker 

• A release cue 

• Structured reinforcement timing

Week 2 - Confidence and environmental exposure 

We carefully introduce:

• Different surfaces

• Traffic and environmental noise

• Public environments

• Neutral exposure to dogs

• People of different appearances

 

Vet and groomer handling prep:

  • Paws, Ears, Mouth
  • Body handling
  • Calm restraint

Often not introduced in generic puppy classes

Week 3 - Foundational obedience & engagement 

We build on: Recall- A reliable recall is essential for

safety and freedom.

Sit, Drop & Stay - Impulse control foundations. These

behaviours teach patience, emotional regulation and

calm decision-making. 
Leave It  - Critical safety cues to prevent scavenging

and conflict situations.

On Your Bed (Place Training) - This creates calmness during meals, visitors, busy household moments and prevents over-arousal. Each behaviour is taught with clarity, consistency and to set your pup up for success!

Week 4 - Biting, arousal and play skills (breed specific) 

Puppy biting is normal — but unmanaged arousal can become problematic. 

We work on:

• Teaching appropriate play intensity

• Redirecting biting without frustration

• Breed-specific play outlets

• Developing calm engagement

• Recognising overstimulation before escalation


High-drive breeds, working breeds and sensitive breeds all require different approaches. Your puppy’s temperament guides our strategy

Ongoing support 

Once you’ve completed the Puppy Foundations Programme, you have the option to continue progressing with structured Walk & Train Sessions


During these sessions, I will conduct a structured training walk focused on:

• Reinforcing loose-lead walking

• Strengthening recall

• Practising impulse control around distractions

• Proofing “leave it” and “drop”

• Maintaining calm neutrality around dogs and people

• Building confidence in varied environments
