Puppy Training
Welcoming a new puppy into the family is such an exciting time, but it can also be overwhelming for both owners and puppies alike. There is a lot to navigate and it is so easy to fall into the myriad of puppy pitfalls!
I offer a range of training options to suit you and your puppy.
Feel prepared for your new pup
Bringing a puppy home is exciting, but it can also feel completely overwhelming, especially if you’re already juggling a busy life. Many new owners feel unprepared, unsure where to start, and worried they won’t have enough time to figure it all out. From toilet training mishaps to constant Googling at 10pm, it’s easy to feel like you’re getting it wrong before you’ve even begun. That’s where I come in, I'm here to help you feel confident, organised, and ready for your puppy’s first day and beyond.
Prep For Your Puppy online consultation
A 90-minute session via video call to fully prepare you for your new puppy’s arrival. We cover everything you need to know to set you up for success, including toilet training, crate training, how to build a good sleep routine, dealing with unwanted behaviours like jumping up and mouthing, what equipment to buy and the important things to focus on in those very early days.
Cost: £110
(discounted to £90 if you book and pay for the Tailored Puppy Training Programme at the same time)
In-person puppy training in Surrey and South West London
Are you a brand new puppy parent who is struggling with jumping up, mouthing and toilet training? Are you scared to let your puppy off the lead for the first time in case they run off and get lost? There's a lot to focus on! There’s so much to think about in the early days, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to make things easier with personalised support and training that works for you, your puppy, and your daily routine.

"Heather really helped build our confidence as new dog owners. We had some 1:1 puppy training for our springer spaniel and came away with a great toolbox of tips and tricks. It was great to have some sessions at home before Penny was able to explore outside, and to graduate to more distracting settings!"
"We have been very impressed & delighted with the training & advice given by Heather who is helping us train our Cockapoo Puppy. From the initial zoom meeting to her introduction to Ella, she has been so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and Ella took to her straight away."
