Give your puppy the best start in life
​

Let us support you to give your puppy the best start in life. Starting your puppy's training early is key to raising a confident, well-rounded dog that will thrive through its life. The foundation you build during these crucial early months can shape your puppy's behaviour, social skills and ability to respond to various environments. 

Through our personalised and tailored one to one sessions, we focus on your puppy's emotional experience, using positive reinforcement, a consistent approach and gradual exposure to new experiences, to help your puppy develop trust, confidence and good habits that last a lifetime.

A thoughtful training approach not only creates a confident and happy partnership, it sets you both up for sustainable, long-term success. 

We have crafted the following puppy specific packages, to support you every step of the way.

ACE Puppy:
​The Exclusive Support Package


ACE Puppy is not just a training programme; it's an exclusive one-on-one, fully supportive 6 or 12 month package designed to ensure the best start for you and your puppy.

Personal Puppy Package​

A series of 4 one-to-one sessions designed to give you and your puppy a calm, confident start to life together. Every session is built around your individual puppy — their age, personality, home setup and the things you'd most like support with.

Across the four sessions we cover the foundations that shape a happy adult dog: settling in, handling and thoughtful socialisation, house manners and toilet training, mouthing and biting, an introduction to the lead, and a friendly recall — all through kind, positive methods rooted in Animal Centred Education (ACE) principles.
​

This is a bespoke, one-to-one package rather than a group class, so it isn't available through our online booking system. Get in touch and we'll arrange an initial call to talk through where you and your puppy are, and how we can help.
