Top-rated New Puppy Sessions in Derby

Do you want to set your puppy up for success to become calm, happy and confident from day one?

That’s the dream, right?

I remember when we adopted our first dog, Judy - she was 4 months old.

My parents were experienced with dogs, but they’d not had a puppy for years.

We received advice from well-meaning friends and family. And from people when out and about on walks. It was all so conflicting!Do this when she pulls on the lead”, “do that…” ,“oh no, you need to do this….” 🤯

We just weren’t sure where to start. We didn’t have the internet back then (yes, hard to imagine, but it’s true!) If you’ve already searched for advice online for your new puppy, you’ll understand how confusing it all is. So many videos and tips recommending sooo many conflicting approaches.

If this sounds familiar, you can take away all that stress and worry of conflicting advice. Why not gain the support of a certified, award-winning trainer from day one with your puppy?

Judy ultimately developed behaviour issues because we didn’t have the guidance of a trainer in those early months.

If I could turn back the clock and work alongside a trainer with her, I would do it in a heartbeat!

I can’t turn back time, but I can support you! I've got all the techniques to PREVENT pesky puppy problems from escalating into real, much bigger problems later on.
