Training Curriculum

Our Basic Puppy Program focuses on teaching fundamental skills and behaviours:

  • Basic Commands: Your puppy will learn essential commands like sit, stay, come, and down, laying the groundwork for obedience and effective communication.
  • Crate Training: Introducing your puppy to crate training helps establish a safe and comfortable space, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.
  • Housebreaking: We guide you through establishing a consistent potty training routine, teaching your puppy appropriate elimination habits.
  • Socialization: Exposing your puppy to various people, dogs, and environments in a positive manner fosters confidence, reduces fear, and encourages friendly interactions.
  • Door Manners: Teaching your puppy polite greetings and waiting calmly at doors prevents jumping and promotes good manners.
  • Loose Leash Walking: We introduce loose leash walking skills to make walks enjoyable and teach your puppy to walk calmly beside you.
  • Introduction to Recall: Teaching your puppy their name so that listen more on command.

How it works

  1. Initial Phone Consultation

    We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your dog's history, behaviour, and your training goals. This helps us design a program that aligns with your expectations and your dog’s requirements.

  2. Personalised Training Plan

    Based on the consultation, our trainers develop a customised training plan. This plan outlines the specific techniques and strategies we will use, ensuring that every aspect of your dog’s training is tailored to their unique situation.

  3. Board and Train

    Your dog will stay with us in a safe and nurturing environment where they will receive one-on-one training sessions. Our positive reinforcement methods ensure that your dog learns in a stress-free and enjoyable way.

  4. Progress Updates

    Throughout the program, we provide regular updates on your dog’s progress. This includes detailed reports and videos so you can see the improvements and understand the training process.

  5. Transfer Sessions

    At the end of the training period, we conduct transfer sessions to teach you how to maintain and reinforce your dog’s new behaviours at home. We ensure that you feel confident and equipped to continue the training.

  6. Follow-Up Support

    Our commitment to your dog’s success doesn’t end when the program does. We offer lifetime support to address any questions or challenges that may arise after your dog returns home.
