Puppies are our specialty and training can begin from day one, too many new puppy owners wait until they can join a training class before getting professional help!That's why we offer a Pre-Vaccination Early Start home visit to get you started straight away!This session is different from a training class because it allows us to focus on preventative training, behaviour management and building your relationship. Don't wait for things to go wrong before you start your training. Here we can handle biting, attention seeking and 'manners', we can help you prevent food guarding, separation anxiety, problem barking and aggression. We can turbo charge your toilet training, crack your crate training and teach your puppy to love doing all of it!Don't just wing it! This has all essential ingredients to make sure you get off on the right paw before you join class!

We are 100% positive and only use kind, effective, science based training techniques, in line with the IMDT's (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) and UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter's strict code of ethics.Dogs are happier and more open to learning if they are rewarded for making the the right choices, that's why we refuse to use abhorrent, old fashioned training techniques used by other less qualified trainers. We will never punish your dog, use fear or equipment to torture your dog into doing something, we won't even push a dog into a sit!We focus on positive reinforcement rather than punishment, we do not condone the use of choke chains, prong collars, 'e-collars' or any other coercive or unkind methods.
