PUPPY FOUNDATIONS TRAINING
PUPPY FOUNDATIONS TRAINING
From 8 weeks to 6 months of age.
Welcoming a puppy into your home is an exciting moment and the start of a learning journey that shapes the dogs they will be become. Whether this is your first puppy or your fifth, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Foundation training is the best investment you can make in your puppy’s future and it’s never too early to begin. Our training programme gives you and your puppy the tools to grow together with confidence, clarity, and kindness. We focus on emotional wellbeing, practical life skills and environmental socialisation and how set your puppy up for success in the real world.
Puppies are little sponges. The experiences they have now influence how they feel and behave as adults. We help you introduce the world in a safe, structured way so your puppy learns that new things are no big deal.
• Meeting people and dogs safely
• Exploring sounds, surfaces, and environments
• Handling and grooming foundations
• Building resilience and optimism
Rather than drilling obedience, we teach skills that matter in everyday life skills rooted in understanding how puppies learn and how emotions drive behaviour. Life with a puppy is full of practical moments, we help you navigate them with ease.
• Toilet training
• Chewing and teething support
• Alone‑time training
• Household routines and boundaries
• Settling at home and in public
• Walking nicely on lead
• Coming when called
• Calm greetings
• Focus around distractions
Training is about connection, and management. We show you how to communicate clearly, read your puppy’s body language, and create a relationship built on trust.
• Reward‑based training methods
• Understanding puppy emotions
• Preventing common behaviour challenges
• Encouraging confident decision‑making
By the end of the programme, you’ll have:
• A puppy who feels safe, confident, and ready for the world
• A toolkit of practical skills for everyday life
• A deeper understanding of how your puppy learns
• A strong, trusting bond that lasts a lifetime
We use science‑based, kind methods that prioritise your puppy’s emotional wellbeing. Puppies learn best when they feel safe, supported, and understood. Our approach is:
• Positive – using rewards to build behaviours we want
• Individualised – tailored to your puppy’s personality and pace
• Empowering – helping owners feel confident and capable
