Puppy training can start as early as 8 weeks of age. This is the perfect time to begin building a strong foundation of trust, communication, and basic obedience while addressing any behaviours like biting or nipping.
Private training allows for personalised attention tailored to your puppy’s specific needs and learning pace. It also provides a quieter, less distracting environment, which is ideal for young puppies just starting their training journey.
Private training is also perfect for new pup parents who are looking for one on one support.
Our program typically includes four 1-hour sessions over four weeks. However, every puppy is unique, so the pace may vary depending on your puppy’s needs and progress.
No, our training methods focus on building a strong relationship and communication with your puppy, using praise and reinforcement instead of treats.
We provide in-home puppy training in the Hills District and surrounding areas, including Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, and Kellyville Ridge.
