🐶 Foundation Puppy Training

Give Your Pup the Best Start

A strong foundation sets your puppy up for a lifetime of success. Our Foundation Puppy Training program is designed for puppies under 8 months old, focusing on confidence, social skills, and building good habits from day one.

What Makes Our Training Different?

Unlike group “puppy school” classes at the vet, our program is one-on-one and fully tailored to your puppy and your household. We use positive behaviour therapy to help your pup learn calm behaviours, prevent problems before they start, and give you the tools to guide their growth.

Because every puppy is different, we shape each lesson around your specific needs. Whether it’s toilet training, chewing, crate training, or even early anxiety issues, we’ll create a plan that works for your family.

How It Works

  • Step 1 – Puppy Behaviour Consult (1 hr, in-home)
    Your first session is a one-hour Puppy Behaviour Consult where we cover key foundations, answer your questions, and create a customised plan.
    👉 If you continue with a package at the end of this session, we’ll credit the consult fee toward your bundle.

  • Step 2 – Foundation Lessons (1 hr each)
    Ongoing lessons take place in your home or in public. Together we’ll work on the behaviours and routines that matter most to you.

What’s Included

Early Socialisation – safe exposure to people, dogs, and environments
Public Manners – polite greetings, lead etiquette, calm behaviour in busy places
Toilet Training – establishing consistent routines and recognising puppy cues
Crate Training – helping your puppy view their crate as a safe, calm space
Lead Skills – reward-based training for walking politely
Mouthing & Nipping – teaching bite inhibition through positive redirection
