We both have level 2 and 3 canine behaviour, training, care and welfare OFQUAL recognised diplomas. Victoria also has a 1st Class degree with Distinction in canine behaviour and training and is Certified Canine Behaviourist.
We only offer force free, reward based, positive training and a range of strategies to support you and your pup with a clear plan and ways for you to practise at home afterwards.
We provide the type of training that works for you as puppy socialisation group classes and doggy daycare can often cause nervousness and behaviour problems for even adult dogs due to too much stimulation and a lack of very careful planning.
It is important to keep puppies with their litter and/or mother until they are at least 7/8 weeks old. 8 weeks is the optimum for many breeds to be rehomed.
A lack of socialisation during the a puppy's life can have lasting effects and cause behavioural problems.
Socialisation includes exposure to many different people, experiences, objects, environments.
Over-exercising a growing puppy you can overtire it and damage its developing joints, causing early arthritis. A good rule of thumb is a ratio of five minutes exercise per month of age (up to twice a day) until the puppy is fully grown.
Puppies should not be left for longer than 4 hours so we are able to provide double sessions or 2 visits a day if needed
This package consists of 1 45 minute training session per week in the garden or outside, dependent on age. If you are at work, we can work around you as puppies should not be left alone for very long as this can cause problems in later life.
Individualised mental and physical enrichment plan based on your puppy's bespoke needs as well as expected physical, socialization and behaviour changes over the weeks including gentle handling, exposure to a range of sensory stimulation, supported exploration and positive social experiences
Fresh water and food will be given after exercise only to avoid bloat and some food will be fed by hand to increase positive associations with humans as well as clean, dry bedding if needed.
