Puppy Training

Designed for puppies under 5 months of age, our training bundle 'Everything Puppy!' will teach you everything you need to know to help your new puppy grow and develop into a healthy and happy member of your family.

The first session, 'Puppy Basics', lasts about 2 hours and covers all the essentials to survive puppyhood, we'll mostly chat and not ask too much of puppy who will likely sleep through most it... oh to be a puppy! This session can be booked on its own.

When you book the bundle, you get the 'Puppy Basics' session plus 3 one-hour visits to work on practical training such as walking on the lead, coming back when called, comfort with handling, teaching puppy to recover from excitement, and more!

Note: the 1st session of the bundle must be booked before your puppy is 16 weeks of age.

Behaviour Consultations

We recommend booking a behaviour consultation for the following issues:

  • aggressive behaviour (toward other dogs and/or people)
  • fearful/anxious behaviour
  • 'reactive' behaviour
  • guarding behaviour
  • isolation and/or separation distress
  • noise sensitivity
  • excessive barking

Our behaviour programs help you understand your dog's behaviour and provides you with support and guidance throughout your and your dog's learning journey.

During the initial consultation I will collect information about your dog's behaviour to assess the root of the issue, provide you with recommendations to reduce incidents of your dog feeling overwhelmed and prevent the reoccurrence of the problem behaviour(s), and devise a behaviour modification plan to suit you and your dog's needs.

I also offer a Zoom option for the initial consultation as it often does not require me to be there in person.

Initial consultation: €180 in person / €150 zoom

Follow up sessions: €120 in person / €100 zoom
