It’s much easier to train-in good habits than to un-train bad ones, so by starting your puppy training at an early stage it puts you both at a huge advantage for the rest of your lives together (not to mention making the roller-coaster that is adolescence more manageable!)
With easy-to-follow guidelines, Jo can help you to achieve the right start as you welcome a new family member into your home. She will set you on your way with everything you need including proper socialisation, foundations for recall and loose-lead-walking.
We will also cover common issues such as mouthing, jumping-up, and anything that is important to you. Jo will teach you about how dogs learn so that you can cultivate desirable behaviours and learn how to avoid less desirable ones.
Home-visits are available, or you can bring your puppy to Jo’s large, secure garden where you and your puppy can relax while we discuss your needs.
Further sessions can also be continued out walking or in a secure field if this is the best option for you and your puppy.
Training packages are available.
Alternatively you can have a single 2hr session plus any follow-ups as required.
All sessions include a detailed written session-summary and other helpful information which is emailed to you afterwards.
Initial session – £90
Further sessions cost: £50 ~ 1hr, £65 ~ 1.5hrs, £80 ~ 2hrs
Please note that puppy training sessions and puppy packages are for dogs aged five months and under.
