1-2-1 Training at your Home There is a small window of opportunity for puppies to be properly socialised, normally within the first 16 weeks of a dog's life. By adopting the correct attitude and having an effective training programme in place, many behavioural issues can be prevented from occurring in the first place.
A Personal puppy training package tailored to your individual needs and that of the family and your dog's environment can help immensely during the puppy's early weeks at home with you. A bespoke puppy development course conducted during the critical periods of the dogs' life will assist you to have a well-controlled and engaging dog.
Following an initial visit /consultation, (2 hours) I create with you a suitable puppy training package that should meet your needs, it would be appropriate for your breed of dog, and can be delivered around your day-to-day life. I consider that proper puppy training engagement is the single most important part of your dogs' life, for both long term good health and its general well-being. The first few months of a dogs' life is critical and very significant in how it develops and has a large influence on its future behaviour, it increases the likelihood of your puppy becoming a well-balanced and well-rounded dog in its future years.
Many dogs can develop behavioural problems, as they near adolescence and maturity on to adulthood. Often, they do so because of lack of early training or the training that they may have received may have been inappropriate for that particular dog, or worst case received no training at all.
My individual approach on a 1-2-1 training basis provides you with my undivided attention allowing you to engage with your puppy in the comfort and safety of your own home. This would take account of your home circumstances, family members, layout and routines of your family life. All of this enhances the learning process for you and your puppy giving you the best possible start in a puppy's life. I combine my professional teaching practice together with my knowledge and experience, working with many breeds of dogs, will help you achieve the results you require.
