Puppy Training
What sort of relationship do you want with your pup?
Have you got a new pup and don’t know where to start?
Are you THINKING about getting a pup and haven’t made the decision yet?
With many years of experience training pups, I am always happy to help with guiding you through those early months.
This personalised course gives me the chance to look at your environment, help you to create a puppy friendly space and guide you through the maze of dog and puppy foods available for those vital first few weeks while your puppy is settling in to their new home. All this comes as part of my Home Start Puppy Package which offers the best chance for you to train your pup and help them become a happy, healthy family member.
Home start puppy package
Edie, the Bedlington Terrier, on her first day at her new home!
I have taught many classes at vets and in other venues but I truly believe that a very young puppy needs to learn the basics before going out into the wider world. If you can get focus from your pup before they see post boxes, shops, other people and other dogs, you will have a good start. And while socialisation is important, it needs to be done in a fun and relaxed way to help your pup cope with any situation.
The Home Start package consists of four sessions lasting approximately 45 minutes. Each week we work on the basics of training plus you get advice about how to help your puppy settle in, nipping, house training, leaving your dog at home alone as well as tailoring the sessions to you and your lifestyle. Because we work at your home it means we are teaching your puppy in the place where the work needs to be done to build a positive and harmonious relationship.
You get a homework sheet after each session to practice as well as advice about nutrition, feeding and creating a relaxing environment for your pup. And best of all, your pup will learn to trust you no matter where you go!
(Evening and Saturday morning appointments available subject to availability)

Dog Owner Reviews

The Hitchens Family
“Soon after bringing home our delightful cockapoo pup, Twiglet, we had a Preschool Puppy Session with Sara in our home. She met the family including our slightly bemused cat! This visit gave us reassurance that we were on the right track and also tips and advice for the forthcoming days and early weeks with a new pup.I would thoroughly recommend Sara’s dog training skills and, importantly, her friendly and approachable manner ensuring that each encounter is enjoyable with laughs along the way!”

“We have been delighted with the training and advice provided by Sara in helping to train the fabulous addition to our family – our beardie Harley. He attended the puppy foundation class and we also had several 1-2-1 sessions in the park, which has achieved virtually 100% recall with Harley. Sara is really not only an expert, but a lovely person to deal with, and would recommend her to any dog owners.”

Steve and Angela
“I wanted to have some basic training for our 12 week old English Bulldog called Mabel and opted for some 1-2-1 lessons as primarily, she wouldn’t be awake for the classes in the event so having them at home really helped. Sara clearly has a vast and in depth knowledge of dog training techniques and tips/advice etc. and Mabel absolutely loved her. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sara and can only thank her for the help and advice shared for Mabel.”

Rewards Dog Training can help you right through from those early days with your pup and beyond so that you can have the best start possible to build the relationship you want.
But it’s not all about pups, sometimes owners need help with those ‘teenage’ and ‘senior’ years too! Ask how we can help you to live in harmony with your dog.
