Jumping, mouthing and overexcitement
Build calmer greetings and show your puppy what to do instead.
A calmer start
PUPPY CHAOS IS
NORMAL.
Biting, jumping, pulling, ignoring you and suddenly forgetting everything outside can feel relentless. It does not mean you have a bad puppy. It means you need a practical plan that fits real life.
Pulling and distracted walks
Create engagement and loose-lead foundations before bad habits settle in.
Recall that disappears outside
Progress from simple responses to reliable choices around real distractions.
Struggling to settle
Teach an off-switch so home life becomes calmer for everyone.
What we build
SKILLS FOR
REAL LIFE.
Not a performance for one hour a week. The aim is a puppy who can make better choices at home, on walks and around the distractions you actually meet.
Calmness & settling
Help your puppy switch off, wait, relax and cope when nothing exciting is happening.
Focus around distractions
Build engagement gradually so you are still relevant when the outside world gets interesting.
Lead and recall foundations
Start with clear, repeatable habits that can grow into enjoyable walks and greater freedom.
Confident social skills
Support sensible exposure without forcing your puppy into situations they cannot handle.
Better communication
Learn how to guide, reward and follow through so your puppy understands you consistently.
Habits that last
Leave with practical exercises you can repeat between sessions instead of temporary quick fixes.
Classes or individual help
THE RIGHT
FORMAT.
Weekend puppy classes are a structured, social way to learn essential skills. One-to-one sessions are better when your puppy needs an individual pace, you have several issues to untangle or you want help in the places the behaviour actually happens.
Weekend classes: practical foundations with appropriate, controlled distractions.
One-to-one training: a plan built around your puppy, household and priorities.
Owner coaching: clear explanations so you know what to practise and why it works.
Simple process
NO GUESSING.
JUST A PLAN.

Puppy questions
GOOD TO
KNOW.
Good habits can start as soon as your puppy comes home, using age-appropriate expectations. The earlier you learn how to guide them clearly, the easier it is to prevent unwanted habits becoming well practised.
Weekend class spaces are offered subject to current availability, start dates and location. Send an enquiry and Joe will confirm the next suitable class rather than promising a slot that is not available.
The focus is on calmness, engagement, recall, loose-lead foundations, settling, impulse control and practical communication you can continue at home.
Yes. It can be the better option when your puppy needs an individual pace, your household has specific priorities or challenges are already appearing at home or on walks.
Yes. Joe coaches you as well as your puppy because lasting progress depends on clear, consistent handling between sessions. You will know what to practise and how to make it manageable.
