Help with puppy training issues Oxfordshire

Are you thinking of getting a puppy?  Perhaps you are awaiting the arrival of your new pup?  This is an exciting time with potential to give your puppy a great start in life.  A puppy preparation session can give you useful advice and support with a range of puppy training issues and the chance to ask lots of questions.  It can help in the following areas and more:
​
  • Meeting the developmental and welfare needs of your new puppy.
  • Helping your puppy settle in to their new home in as safe and stress free a way as possible.
  • Building trust and a secure puppy human attachment.
  • Being attuned to what your puppy is communicating and how to respond to help them feel safe and comfortable.
  • Learning about the importance of handling, grooming, puppy play and training. 
  • Establishing a good routine (e.g. toileting, exercise, diet).
  • Understanding how puppies learn. 
  • Encouraging the dog behaviour you want with positive reinforcement.
  • Coaching and advice for puppy/children households.
  • Promoting positive canine feline relationships.
  • Support and advice for multi dog households.
  • Advice on non aversive, recommended equipment.
  • Teaching you how to respond appropriately to ‘normal’ puppy behaviour (e.g. learning bite inhibition).
  • Ensuring positive socialisation and habituation to maximise your puppy’s potential.​
  • Encouraging enjoyable puppy training activities that help minimise the development of unwanted behaviour.

Puppy preparation sessions can either be via home visits, zoom or whatsapp.  They include a 90 minute puppy advice session, comprehensive and individualised notes, video links, a range of handouts, and remote support for up to a month after the session so that you have the support you need to set your puppy up for success!  There is a nominal additional charge for travel over 5 miles radius.  To book a puppy preparation session contact Fiona on [email protected] or via the contact form.
