Professional Puppy and Behaviour Training:
Transform Chaos into Calm
Welcoming a puppy is thrilling, but it can quickly become overwhelming! One moment you're excited about your new arrival, the next you're dealing with accidents, jumping, nibbling, and sleepless nights. Don't worry, that's exactly where I come in.
As a qualified dog behaviourist (Masters in Dog Behaviour) with extensive experience (approaching 25 years in full time practice), I specialise in helping families create calm, structured environments where puppies can thrive. I work with you in your home to establish clear routines and maximise those crucial first 16 weeks and beyond of socialisation. I also support families with older puppies (up to 6 months) facing behavioural challenges.
Good news: Many pet insurance plans cover behavioural consultations - check your policy!

I use gentle, reward-based training methods that build strong bonds between you and your puppy. Every session is tailored to your family's specific needs and your puppy's personality. My visits typically last 2-3 hours, but I never watch the clock, I stay until you feel confident and prepared.

Real Feedback from Puppy Visits

"The change has been instant!"
"Hi Nick. Thank you for the puppy training session I had with you recently and would like you to know how much it has enhanced my relationship with my Jack Russell puppy. The session made me realise that although I have owned dogs for many years, it was my behaviour and my partners that needed addressing as much as the dog's.The change has been instant, and I have had so many friends and family tell me how much Jimmy has changed for the better as he was starting to get out of control. This really was the best Christmas present I have ever had and I would strongly recommend you to anyone who has a dog that is taking over. Thank you again, Alan."

"With your three hours teaching we are so much happier and have a happy balanced puppy that is so well behaved that everyone we meet is amazed he's so young"
"Hello Nick, since your puppy training visit he's been introduced to so much new stuff - the lead, walking, strangers, other dogs, cats, rabbits etc and he's been an absolute legend. We're using your advice about keeping a lead on him and such a simple thing has changed our whole approach, we can control him without him mistaking it for play. The tie up point is in place in the lounge and he knows he can only go in if he's super calm. Yesterday he sat in his bed in there for two hours without a single mistake; it was like he was plastic! More than anything we want to thank you for reminding us he is a dog, not a human and his needs are very different. With your three hours teaching we are so much happier and have a happy balanced puppy that is so well behaved that everyone we meet is amazed he's so young. He's still a bit ‘bitey’ on the clothing, but we're using the calm and helpful method you taught us and are making excellent progress. We'll keep you updated on our progress but thanks again for your excellent advice. Regards, The Harrisons.”

"I'm absolutely over the moon at how well he's responded to your suggestions, and I feel much better being in control. So thanks once again!"
"Thanks so much for your puppy behaviour consultation yesterday and for confirming it all in writing. We have had a very enjoyable day with Charlie today. I put him in his crate this morning while I got the kids ready. He was happy to go and as a result we had a much more stress free morning. I took away the puppy pads and have taken him outside every hour using treats as a reward when he goes and so far no accidents for the first day yet !!!! He is already happy to sit and wait by the door. I'm absolutely over the moon at how well he's responded to your suggestions, and I feel much better being in control. So thanks once again, Dave & Helen.”
