Bringing home a brand new puppy can be both exciting and overwhelming. There’s so much to think about.

The exhaustion, toileting training accidents, puppy biting and muddled daily routine can all leave you feeling unsure of how to handle the challenges of puppyhood.

You’ve done the research, but maybe it still feels like everything’s a bit topsy-turvy.

My Brand New Puppy introductory session is designed to help you add some structure to it all, managing your pup’s environment and guiding good interactions from the get go.

“Puppy me up.”

If your puppy’s just arrived, you’re likely to have a lot of questions already. This is an info-packed, introductory session designed to help you settle your puppy into life at home.

  • Interacting With Your Puppy:

    We’ll talk about starting as you mean to go on, management for success, and guiding good interactions from the get go.

  • Daily Routine:

    Setting up some structure, managing your pup’s busy diary, including sleep and toilet training.

  • Puppy Socialisation:

    Why is socialisation so important and what does it entail? The first few months of your puppy’s life will shape their view of the world.

  • Training Equipment and First Principles:

    Recommendations and tips on comfy harnesses, leads and lots of other useful stuff.
