Pre-Puppy Program: Preparing for Your New Dog
Welcome Home
Your new best friend is on the way.
Whether you're counting down the days until your puppy arrives or preparing to welcome a rescue dog into your family, this program is here to help you start your journey with confidence.
We'll guide you through everything you need to do before your dog comes home - from preparing your space and setting realistic expectations to helping your family understand what your new companion will need during those important first days.

- Creating a safe space
- Preparing your family
- Children and Puppies

Puppy Starter Program: Raising a Family Dog
Setting your new dog up for success
Puppies don't arrive knowing our rules, routines or expectations - they rely on us to gently guide them through a world that's completely new.
The Puppy Starter Program is designed to help you see life through your puppy's eyes. By understanding how puppies learn, communicate and develop, you'll be better equipped to respond with patience, kindness and confidence.
Rather than simply teaching behaviours, we'll focus on building the strong foundations that every family dog needs: trust, communication, confidence and connection. Because the relationship you create today will shape the dog your puppy becomes tomorrow.
This Program Covers:
- Understanding your puppy
- Meeting your puppy's needs
- Building healthy routines
- Meeting your puppy's needs
- Teaching essential life skills
- Preventing common behaviour problems
- Safe interactions with children
- Building confidence through socialisation
- Grooming and handling skills
- Building a strong family bond
and more...

Walk & Train
Training doesn't just happen during a lesson - it happens every time your dog experiences the world.
Walk & Train sessions transform everyday walks into valuable learning opportunities. Using positive, reward-based methods, your dog practices real-life skills in familiar surroundings, building confidence, resilience and good habits that last long after the walk is over.

During our walks, we can work on skills such as:
- Loose lead walking
- Calm behaviour around people and dogs
- Focus and engagment
- Recall
- Confidence in everyday environments
