TRAINING & BEHAVIOUR PROGRAMS
One-To-One Dog & Puppy Training
The Positive Puppy is a complete puppy training & behaviour program that sets your puppy up for success by giving them important foundations to build on over 4 to 8 weeks. They will learn beginner life skills which are needed to cope with puppyhood, through adolescence and onto adulthood. The first 8 to 12 weeks of a puppies life are so important and have such a huge impact on their growth and development, which in turn can affect their behaviour when older, so it's important to start training as soon as possible.
Puppy training can start as soon as you bring that fluffy bundle of joy and teeth home; this program is available from 8 weeks of age up to 6 months and you will get the basic skills and tools needed to help you manage this key stage and turn your puppies zoomies into zen. You do not need to wait until your puppy is 12 weeks old and has been fully vaccinated to start training; there are many activities you can do inside, and outside the home, without putting your puppies health at risk, the main being socialisation and it's never too early to start.
The Positive Puppy is a super flexible training program and is designed to help new puppy owners prepare for their pet's arrival and address not only various training issues, but common behavioural concerns as well. You can choose how you want to participate - online resources, virtual sessions, or in-person meetings. The program lasts between 4 and 8 weeks and comes with handy training handouts and tutorial videos that you can refer to anytime. It's all about making sure you and your puppy start off on the right paw!
The Desirable Dog is a complete dog training & behaviour program suited to your dog's individual needs, the level of support and guidance you want, and as I know you'll have a busy schedule, they will be designed to also suit and fit in with your lifestyle. These are available from 6 months of age and it's not uncommon to revisit areas of training previously worked on once adolescence starts.
You may find you're having to go over behaviours you could previously manage, or even prevent, but now they are a struggle. Having reliable and solid behaviours in key areas are vital for their health, safety and wellbeing, also for yours and others around you.
Dogs are individuals and it's about working with the dog in front of us; if you are struggling with your dog's behaviour during adolescence, please call us for support as it can be frustrating and often upsetting if you're trying to manage things on your own. This program runs over 6 weeks and includes an Initial Assessment, weekly training & coaching sessions, online support in between sessions and after completion, so you are not on your own. You can purchase extra sessions during the program should you want additional support; and once the program is finished, should you wish to continue working with us on other training or behaviour issues.
