Set your puppy up for the next decade.
The first 16 weeks shape the next 12 years. A 4-session, in-home programme that builds confidence, manners, and a dog you'll actually love living with — before bad habits set in.
For puppies 8–20 weeks. The earlier, the better.
- New puppies — straight from the breeder or rescue
- Families who want everyone on the same page from day one
- Owners of larger / working breeds where the wrong start is expensive
- Puppies that have outgrown puppy school and need more
- Anyone serious about doing it properly the first time
The foundation that pays off for the next 12 years.
Socialisation done right
Not just "meet every dog you can". Real socialisation is exposure to people, sounds, surfaces, and environments — calmly and confidently.
Bite inhibition & mouthing
Teach the puppy how to use their teeth gently now, so the adult dog has bombproof bite inhibition for life.
Toilet training & crate
A clear, simple system the whole house follows. Most puppies are reliable within 2–3 weeks of doing this properly.
House rules & impulse control
Doorways, beds, couches, jumping, food manners. Decided early, applied consistently, locked in for life.
Foundation obedience
Sit, place, recall, loose-lead, settle. The behaviours that make the next decade of life with your dog easy.
Tailored to your puppy
Border collie ≠ cavoodle ≠ bull breed. Each puppy gets a plan built around their breed, temperament, and household.

- 4 × 60-minute in-home sessions
- Whole-family coaching — everyone on the same page
- Written recap & homework after every session
- Message support between sessions
- Tailored to your puppy's breed and household
