Puppy Foundations Programme
Puppy Training
Build the Blueprint for a Lifetime of Trust, Calm, and Real-World Reliability
Are you ready to stop surviving the puppy stage, and start intentionally shaping the dog you actually want to live with?
The early stages of a dog’s life quietly set the trajectory for everything that follows. This programme is designed for owners who want to do more than just “get through” puppyhood. It’s for those who want clarity, structure, and confidence - not guesswork, conflicting advice, or short-term fixes.
We go far beyond basic cues like sit and stay (though these are absolutely covered). Instead, we focus on developing a puppy who is calm, engaged, and capable in the environments that matter most: your home, your walks, and the real world.
This isn’t about tricks.
It’s about life skills.
Whether you’ve just welcomed a puppy home, or you’re already navigating biting, pulling on the lead, over-excitement around people or dogs, or uncertainty around socialisation, this programme provides a clear and proven path forward, without overwhelm.
Training doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
It happens in your kitchen, on everyday walks, and as your puppy encounters new situations. The goal is simple: a puppy who understands how to exist calmly and confidently in your world, not one who only performs when conditions are perfect.
The Foundations We Build
- ENGAGEMENT & FOCUS Teaching your puppy that you are worth paying attention to, even when the environment is full of distractions.
- RELIABLE RECALL Building a fast, confident response that allows for real freedom, not constant management or anxiety.
- LOOSE-LEAD STANDARDS Setting expectations early so walks stay calm and enjoyable, rather than turning into a daily tug-of-war.
- THE “OFF SWITCH” Helping your puppy learn how to settle, relax, and switch off at home, in cafés, or when life is busy.
- NEUTRAL SOCIALISATION Moving beyond over-excitement and compulsory greetings, and instead teaching your puppy how to be calm, composed, and indifferent in a stimulating world.
What Support Looks Like
This programme is delivered through a blend of practical coaching and ongoing guidance, designed to support both you and your puppy as they grow and change.
- HYBRID COACHING SUPPORT Hands-on, practical coaching to build your skills, supported by remote guidance to troubleshoot puppy-specific challenges as they arise.
- THE PUPPY BLUEPRINT Clear, structured training guidance that removes the “what do I do now?” feeling and gives you direction at every stage of development.
- PERSONALISED VIDEO FEEDBACK Puppies change quickly. You’ll be able to submit training footage and receive tailored feedback so small errors don’t turn into long-term habits.
- DIRECT ONGOING SUPPORT Priority messaging support between sessions, so you’re never left second-guessing how to handle real-life situations as they come up.
My Approach
Standards First, Not Just Snacks
I don’t believe in simply tiring puppies out or distracting them into compliance.
I believe in building clear standards, strong communication, and a genuine partnership.
That means helping you understand how your puppy learns, what they actually need, and how to meet those needs in a way that builds confidence rather than confusion. The focus is always on long-term success, not quick wins that unravel later.
If you’re willing to put the work in early, I’ll give you the tools, structure, and support to ensure the years ahead are calm, enjoyable, and built on trust.
Apply to work together and invest in the dog you want to live with, not just the puppy you have today.
