Support for Both Puppy and Owner
I don’t just train your puppy — I support you too. You’ll learn simple, effective techniques and gain ongoing advice so you feel confident handling common puppy challenges.
Why Puppy Training Matters?
Bringing home a new puppy is one of the most exciting moments in life, but it also comes with challenges. Those early weeks and months shape the kind of dog your puppy will grow into. Without the right guidance, small habits like chewing, jumping up, or pulling on the lead can develop into bigger problems later on. With the right training from the start, you’ll set your puppy up for a lifetime of good behaviour, confidence, and trust.
That’s where my Private Puppy School comes in. I’m Stephen, and I provide one-to-one training designed specifically for puppies from eight weeks old. Using positive reinforcement and clear, practical methods, I’ll teach your puppy essential commands, build their confidence, and make training fun for both of you.
My goal is not just to train your puppy, but to support you as the owner, giving you the tools, confidence, and routine to carry on the training at home. Together, we’ll create a consistent plan that fits into your daily life and strengthens the bond you share with your puppy.
Investing in puppy training now means fewer frustrations later, and a loyal, well-adjusted dog who grows up calm, responsive, and a joy to live with.
