Frequently Asked Questions
Puppy Training
Puppy Starter (£199) — Most popular. A relaxed 2-hour visit plus a 1-hour follow-up with notes so you have a clear plan to build on.
Puppy Progress (£269) — Two × 2-hour visits with notes and a supported social walk to practise real-life skills.
Puppy Plus (£339) — Two × 2-hour visits, a 1-hour follow-up, notes and two social walks for extra support.
All options teach calm Foundations: name response, settle on a mat, toilet routine, bite inhibition, gentle handling, recall beginnings and loose-lead basics.
Yes. Begin with Starter and, if you’d like more support after the first session, upgrade to Progress or Plus by paying the difference—no pressure and no lock-ins.
Absolutely. You can book single sessions as needed. Many families do one in-depth visit and then add occasional check-ins during growth spurts or teething.
Start at home from ~8 weeks. A session includes a friendly assessment, a tailored plan, coached practice with you and your puppy, simple homework, and written notes so you know exactly what to do next.

Starter Consult (£140) — Most popular. A relaxed 2-hour visit with follow-up notes so you have a clear plan to work from.
Progress Pack (£199) — One × 2-hour visit plus a 1-hour follow-up with notes to keep momentum.
Progress Plus (£320) — Two × 2-hour visits, a 1-hour follow-up and notes for extra support.
All options focus on calm Foundations for behaviour change: safety routines, settle on a mat, lead skills for decompression walks, needs-based enrichment, and owner coaching.
Yes. I specialise in big feelings—barking/lunging, fear, frustration, guarding, visitor worries and handling sensitivities. We’ll build a safety-first plan and practise calm alternatives your dog can succeed with.
We start with an in-depth chat and observation, identify triggers/needs, then coach practical steps. You’ll get written notes, simple homework and WhatsApp support to keep you moving forward.
Yes. With your consent I can share summaries with your vet and work alongside them—especially useful for pain, anxiety or medication reviews. If a referral is more appropriate, I’ll guide you.
