I’ll be your coach

Puppy raising and life with a dog (or dogs) is not always easy. Sometimes the reality seems so far from how we thought it would be. And living in London can bring its own challenges. You’re not alone.

I live in London too! I can help with practical advice to support your training journey and build your relationship with your dog. With years of training experience, I’ll guide you through best practice, backed by behavioural science. But it’s not about fancy terminology, it’s about being flexible and looking at real life solutions. Let’s get started.

    Working on training areas that need more attention. Brush up on your communications and have fun while earning your APDT Good Companion Award. Or focus more specifically on a reliable recall, or improved lead walking skills.

“Support for the journey”

We've worked with Puppy Life since Nelly was a young pup and even got guidance on some essentials before we brought her home. We booked individual training sessions at home with the whole family in the beginning, so we could all learn and give Nelly good guidance and consistency as we practised training. Stephanie's advice has been invaluable, and she really cares. As Nelly has grown, we've had follow-on sessions too, to build more recall skills and strengthen our connection with Nelly while off-lead. We've all developed a great bond with our lovely Nelly.

“So proud”

Our engagement with our dog Frankie improved a lot after a few one-to-one sessions with Stephanie. She started with building attention and improving our connection, and we worked a lot on chase recall. He no longer jets off into the woods at the first opportunity and we have a stronger bond.
