One-to-One Puppy Training in Sussex

Start strong from 8 weeks.
Early training that builds calm behaviour, good habits and confidence from the very beginning

Sue’s puppy tuition is designed to give your puppy the very best start possible.

Many owners first reach out around twelve to fourteen weeks, which is completely normal. This is often the point where the biting, house training struggles, jumping and overexcitement start to feel overwhelming. The good news is, this is still the perfect time to begin.

Training your puppy in your own home and everyday environment is one of the best investments you can make in their future. What they learn in these early months becomes the foundation for the rest of their life, shaping good habits and helping prevent the behaviour problems many adult dogs struggle with.

Sue’s personalised puppy programme supports you through every stage of early development, from house training and biting to socialisation and early obedience. Everything is tailored to your lifestyle and your puppy’s unique personality, making learning calm, simple and enjoyable.

What You Can Expect to Learn

The First Session

The Second Session

This session takes place in your own home with your whole family. Children are welcome and encouraged to join in, so they learn how to interact safely and confidently with your puppy. Together we cover all the key early behaviours, including house training, managing teething and biting, preventing future problems, building confidence and creating a calm routine. Your puppy will also learn their first set of core skills. By the end of this visit your puppy will already be learning to sit, stay, lie down, come when called and begin gentle lead training. You will also have time to ask questions so we can clear up the huge amount of confusing advice you may have read or been told. This session is as much about giving you clarity and confidence as it is about teaching your puppy.
