One-to-One Puppy Training in East London

Personalised coaching to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and happiness with your puppy.

You’ve started to think about training. And you’d like to get some personalised advice at home.

Maybe you’re (not) working from home. In a few short weeks, your puppy’s (literally) torn up all your best laid plans.

Your dream of your pup adjusting easily to family life, might feel quite a long way off right now, but don’t worry. Let’s get started.

The Puppy Steps programme is a pack of three one-to-one training sessions, designed to help you take your first steps towards that easy relationship. Learn training and skills for starting out.

The Puppy Steps Programme.

It’s a pack of 3 x one-hour puppy training sessions at home, designed to set you both up for the best start.

  • Basic Life Skills Training:

    Teach your puppy essential skills such as: settling down, starting recall, happy walking, handling and healthy play. It’s about laying the foundation for good behaviour and communication.

  • Puppy Socialisation:

    This is a crucial time in your puppy’s development. We’ll work through how to introduce your puppy to new people and other pups in a safe way. It’s about building their confidence and promoting calm and positive interactions.

  • Puppy advice:

    Learn how to design a practical daily routine and how to address common puppy struggles like puppy biting, zoomies and learning to be alone, in a kind and positive way.

  • Support and Resources:

    We go at yours and your puppy’s pace. Benefit from ongoing support, training materials and tips to help you navigate the ups and downs of puppyhood.

“A game changer!”

Working with Puppy Life was a game changer for us. Stephanie has a kind and friendly approach. We received so much useful information about using food, a harness and getting starting with the training basics that have helped us get off to a great start with Asta.

The ‘Puppy Life’ Puppy Steps programme is perfect for you if:

  • You want to establish a strong foundation of helpful skills and good manners.

  • Your puppy falls in between course dates, is a bit older, or you’d prefer some dedicated time and more tailored support.

  • You want to work with a trainer who is committed to helping you and your puppy build a wonderful bond, through positive training.

  • Your puppy is up to 6 months old.

    If your pup is older than 6 months (time flies) have a look at my Fabulous Foundations training option instead.

 FAQs

  • I recommend booking training sessions from 11 weeks onwards. If your puppy’s a bit younger or has just arrived, I recommend booking a one-off Brand New Puppy session.

  • Yes, I follow hygiene protocols and at least the first two sessions will be at home, so there’s no need to worry if your pup is still not fully vaccinated.

  • I recommend having your puppy on a comfortable harness, or I can show you how to introduce this.

    For very young pups, we may work with their own kibble or food, before we start to introduce some training treats. Access to water and a blanket or mat for your pup to rest on in between exercises is easy at home.

  • The Puppy Steps programme is a series of 3 x weekly, one-hour training sessions, covering training basics for your puppy. You’re welcome to book a follow-on package of three too.

  • We’ll cover what day-to-day ‘socialisation’ looks like, and how to set up calm and positive interactions. And I'll guide you best practise in terms of social experiences outside the home.
