Puppy One-To-One Training
Puppy Programmes
Owning a puppy can be really overwhelming, especially in a busy household. There’s a lot to do in order to cement in the behaviour you want your puppy to display as an adult in a very short amount of time. Our one-to-one programmes are ideal for setting a puppy up for success in their life with you. We are able to address any combination of the following, please note that this is not an exhaustive list and if there’s anything else you would like to address then we are more than likely able to do so:
- Leaving your puppy home alone
- Toilet training
- Sleeping through the night
- Teething & biting
- Socialisation
- Puppy & human relationship
- Introducing your puppy to children
- Introducing your puppy to existing pets
- Diet
- Equipment
- Positions (sit, down, stand, stay)
- Go to bed & stay there
- Attention to handler
- Recall
- Preventing jumping up & what to do when it happens
- Preventing resource guarding & other behaviour problems

FAQ
Most frequently asked questions and answers
Once you get in touch we’ll ask for a prioritised list of what you’ve like to achieve. From there we will either book you in for a free no-obligation discovery call to discuss your options or simply suggest a number of session that reflect a reasonable number to achieve your goals. As programmes are upgradeable this will likely be a small underestimation to ensure that we’re not taking more money than you need to be spending!
Full payment of your chosen programme or the first payment in your payment plan is due as soon as your first session is confirmed as in the diary.
Absolutely! We understand that we’re asking you to pay a lot of money to people you likely won’t have met in person at the time of payment. If you feel more comfortable booking a smaller programme and upgrading after you feel more comfortable with us then we want you to have that option!
Typically coaches try to keep between three to five exercises per session. However this does depend on the content covered and the issues being addressed, sometimes we deal with one or two small things in addition to the typical three to five exercises.
Sessions can take place at your home, on a walk local to you (booked as a home visit), you can come to the Great Field in Poundbury or sessions can be done online via technology if you prefer. Dependent on the restrictions in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus, home visits and in-person sessions may not be an option at the time of booking. Behaviours that need to be addressed in the home will be addressed via technology in the event that a home visit is not possible.
Programmes can go on for no longer than one session per month. The bronze, silver and gold programmes can be used over three, five and eight months respectively. You are of course welcome to complete your programme sooner than this. We recommend a minimum of one week in between sessions, with most clients choosing to book in roughly every one to two weeks.
Except in the case of extenuating circumstances these programmes are nonrefundable, either for the whole programme or as single sessions. The money is however transferrable to one of our other services.
Not a problem! Multi-dog households can come with a whole host of undesirable behaviours stemming from how your dogs interact with one another. The price per programme is the same if you have multiple dogs under 6 months old in the house. If an existing dog is displaying concerning behaviour such as aggression towards the puppy this will have to be upgraded to a behaviour programme to address the existing dog’s aggression. Any money paid towards a puppy programme can be transferred to a behaviour package.
