Understanding Puppy Behaviour

Puppies are full of potential - but their behavior can be as puzzling as it is adorable. Raising a puppy into the dog you want involves far more than teaching them to sit and stay; it’s about helping them navigate a world that’s full of new sights, sounds, and experiences. As your puppy’s personal detective, I’ll guide you through the complex world of puppy behavior. From early socialization to crate training, to preventing unwanted behaviors before they start, I’ll help you ensure your puppy grows up to be a confident, well-mannered dog.

  • Socialising your puppy with people, other dogs, and new environments

You and Your Puppy Will Be in Great Hands

I pride myself as an experienced, puppy expert. I know how they work, feel and why they do what some consider to be “naughty”. I will decode their behaviours for you and teach you how to create meaningful change that will last their entire lifetime.
