Start your puppy off on the right paw with my comprehensive puppy training program. Hopefully by the time your puppy arrived home her Mum and littermates will have already got the training process off to a good start but there is still a long way to go. Having strong foundations will set up a confident, happy and robust dog that will be a loving member of your household. Puppy training will typically be performed in blocks of 3-9 sessions depending on your budget and requirements. The areas covered can include:
