Pre-Puppy Visit: Start Strong From Day One
Three personal visits before & soon after your puppy arrives to build confidence, calm behaviour and great habits from the very beginning.
Bringing a puppy into your home is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when you are not sure how to start.
This Pre-Puppy Programme is designed to give you confidence before your puppy arrives and clear guidance during the first few weeks at home.
By supporting you early, in your own environment, we can prevent common problems, build calm behaviour and create good habits that last a lifetime. Many owners say this programme helped them feel prepared, relaxed and fully in control from day one.

Why Invest in Our Puppy Training?
Training that makes sense Once you’ve chosen the right puppy for you, it is vital that you start training and socialising your puppy immediately. This is because the first 4 months are without a doubt the most important weeks of your puppy's life. This is known as the critical period...Every single thing your puppy sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes in those first 16 weeks they will remember for life. Much of what is learned during this early period is lasting, providing a foundation for many adult behaviour patterns and problems good and bad. A puppy who is properly socialised in this period will more than likely grow up to be well balanced, confident, calm and be less likely to respond to new things fearfully or aggressively. In contrast, a puppy who has not had this good start in life is more likely to be over-reactive, fearful, slower at learning and develop preventable behaviour problems. Breaking tradition - Why not to wait for puppy classes? The traditional and common approach to puppy training would be waiting until your puppy is fully vaccinated normally after 12/14 weeks and then attending puppy training classes in a busy hall. But unfortunately the majority of the time, your puppy will be missing out. Training your puppy from the very start in your own environment is one of the most important gifts you can give your puppy. Why choose my personalised tuition ? Owning a puppy is not always easy and knowing “what is the right thing to do” can be very challenging and rather over whelming. Especially with all of the advice and mixed messages out there. If you knew what to do from the start, and had proper support, then things would be a lot smoother. With this in mind I have created specific puppy programs, that will equip you and your family with the essential skills and, knowledge on how to raise your puppy from the word go. This special tuition creates clear lines of communication that will help your puppy to develop in a positive way. Check out Sue's puppy training below or call her today on 07771573963
