Puppy Training Packages
 

Frequently Asked Questions

​

What age can my puppy be for 1-to-1 training?

You can start training from the moment your puppy comes home. You don't need to wait until they've had lots of training or reached a certain age. We'll work at a level that's appropriate for your puppy and their stage of development.
 

What if my puppy hasn't had all their vaccinations?

That's absolutely fine. We can start with training at home and work on skills that are appropriate for your puppy's current stage. We'll also talk about how to safely introduce your puppy to new people, places and experiences as part of their early socialisation.
 

What can we work on?

We can work on all sorts of puppy challenges, including puppy biting, toilet training, settling, chewing, jumping up, recall, loose lead walking, focus, socialisation, confidence and everyday manners.

If there's something specific you're struggling with that isn't listed on the page, just ask.

​

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your puppy, your goals and what you'd like help with.

You can book a single session if you have a particular challenge you'd like help with, or choose a package if you'd like ongoing support as your puppy develops. You don't have to decide everything before we start.
 

What if my puppy is nervous?

That's absolutely okay. Puppies don't all arrive feeling confident and ready to take on the world!

We'll work at your puppy's pace and focus on creating positive experiences without overwhelming them. I'll also help you recognise your puppy's early signs of stress so you can support them in everyday situations.
 

Can you help with puppy biting?

Yes! Puppy biting is incredibly common, but it can be very frustrating when you're on the receiving end of it. We'll look at when and why your puppy is biting, what's happening around those bitey moments and practical ways you can manage it and help your puppy develop better habits.
 

Can you help with toilet training?

Absolutely. We'll look at your puppy's routine, supervision, management and reinforcement to help you build good toilet habits and reduce accidents.

You can also read my Puppy Toilet Training Guide for more advice.

​

Where do the sessions take place?

Sessions usually start in your home, particularly when your puppy is young. As your puppy is ready, we can take the training outside and work in local areas, parks and other suitable environments.

The location will be discussed and agreed with you before your session, depending on what you'd like to work on and what will be most suitable for your puppy.

​

Do you offer online puppy training?

Yes. If you're not based in South East London, or you'd prefer to train from home, I also offer online puppy training via Google Meet.
 

Online sessions can work particularly well for things like toilet training, puppy biting, settling and other behaviours that happen at home.

What happens after my session?

You'll receive a personalised written report with everything we've discussed and recommendations for what to practise next. You'll also have ongoing WhatsApp support, so you can ask questions, send updates or share videos as you continue practising.
 

Do I need to have done any training before?

Not at all. Whether you're completely new to puppy training or you've already started teaching your puppy some skills, we'll start from where you are now.
 

What should I bring to a session?

I'll let you know if there's anything specific you'll need depending on what we're working on. In general, have some of your puppy's favourite treats, their usual walking equipment and a toy or two available.

There's no need to buy lots of fancy equipment before we start!
 

Can the whole family take part?

Absolutely. In fact, I encourage anyone who regularly looks after or trains your puppy to get involved where possible. It means everyone can learn the same approach and your puppy gets consistency from the people around them.
