Puppy Training

​

Welcoming a new puppy into your home is exciting, joyful — and sometimes a little overwhelming! At Dog ABC, we believe many common behavioural issues can be prevented if owners understand more about their pup’s development, socialisation, and early training needs.

Our one-to-one puppy training and puppy socialisation consults are designed to give you and your dog the very best start. We come to you, working in your own home and environment to help you understand your puppy and develop calm, confident, and well-mannered behaviour right from the beginning.

​

One-to-One Puppy Training

One-to-one puppy training is the perfect way to learn how to develop a puppy to be proud of. These sessions are informative, fun, and inclusive of the whole family, ensuring everyone is confident and consistent in how they handle and communicate with your new pup.

By visiting you at home, we can see your puppy in their real-world environment — understanding their routines, challenges, and progress. We’ll help you manage the typical puppy stages with empathy, patience, and science-based techniques.

​

What We Cover

Your consultation is tailored to your puppy’s age, breed, and temperament — but typically includes:

• Socialisation – how, what, and when

• Manners – developing a polite, well-behaved puppy

• House training – the do’s and don’ts

• Biting and mouthing – why it happens and how to stop it

• Handling and grooming – building confidence and cooperation

• General obedience – sit, down, stay, heelwork, and recall

• Learning to relax – how to train your puppy to “do nothing” and simply chill in your presence

• ​

Why Early Training Matters

Owning a puppy can be stressful and is a lot of work — even for experienced dog owners! We’ll help you understand why your puppy is demonstrating certain behaviours, how to address them effectively, and how to guide your dog toward becoming a calm, confident, and well-balanced companion.

Early, positive training builds trust and prevents future behavioural challenges. Our goal is to help you enjoy your puppy, not just manage them, while setting strong foundations for a lifetime of good behaviour.

Jez’s Favourite Saying...

“When buying a puppy, most people assume they’re getting a Mensa-level intelligent, English-speaking fur baby...

...but in reality, you’ve brought home a 3-year-old foreign exchange student with ADHD!”

They don’t speak English, you can’t reason with them, and they get tired really easily — but with the right support, they can learn to listen, focus, and thrive.
