Puppy Power 121 Session
Your puppy training journey begins with a one-on-one Puppy Power 121 session in your home, accommodating the entire household, including children.
During this session, we address essential early challenges such as nipping, potty training, overnight sleeping and establishing household rules, along with providing numerous helpful tips based on years of experience.
After your first session, we can guide you on the appropriate next steps for further training and socialisation.
We are unique in that we offer 121 Training, for just you and your pup, and also Group Classes (including very early socialisation, moving onto a range of courses to see you through to adulthood).
121 First Assessment & Dog Training Session
During this comprehensive assessment, we will focus on addressing specific challenges you may be facing, such as your dog’s reactivity, recall skills, lead walking techniques, and the establishment of household rules.
Additionally, we will provide a wealth of helpful tips to support your training efforts. As a team of qualified behaviourists and trainers, our goal is to gain a deep understanding of both you and your canine companion.
This insight allows us to develop the most suitable training methods and a personalised action plan that sets you up for success your training journey.
Once the first session is complete, we will be more than happy to guide you on the appropriate next steps. We are unique in that we offer a variety of options, including 121 Packages or Group Classes, to ensure you find the perfect fit for your needs.
Common Issues: Recall - Lead Walking - Socialisation
