121 puppy Training

Bringing a new puppy into your life comes with responsibilities and challenges you might not have been prepared for. The best way to make this time easier for you and your puppy is to start with a puppy home visit.

During this session we discuss everything from building your puppy’s independence, toilet training, how to cope with the teething stage, biting, through to exercise needs, diet and mental enrichment. We also begin the training process and start to build focus, how to teach your puppy to listen to you, recall games, settling and more. A popular choice to combine with the Puppy Squad classes so you can get the best of tailored 1-2-1 training along with the distractions and socialisation of group classes.

Behaviour

Behaviour Consultations

If your dog is showing behaviours that concern you, we’ll work together to understand what’s going on and create a personalised plan that keeps you supported, motivated and moving forward.

This also includes the unique challenges that often come with rescue dogs from abroad, such as adjusting to new environments, fear-based reactions and confidence issues.

I can help with a wide range of behaviours including toilet training, excessive barking, jumping up and mouthing, separation anxiety, resource guarding, lead reactivity, barking at dogs or people, lunging at traffic, dog to human aggression, dog to dog aggression, cat chasing, anxiety and more.

Every dog is different, so please get in touch and we can chat through your dog’s individual needs.

Julie Evans

“We have a very boisterous Rhodesian Ridgeback cross Labrador who I was finding difficult to train… Then I found Vicky who quite frankly is a dog whisperer in my opinion, as with our 121 sessiona Pumba is actually now listening to me and we have improved so much in only two sessions. Pumba is now becoming a pleasure to walk as before he was pulling on the lead and running off after every dog he met! Vicky also gave me so many tips on treat, leads, harnesses, so much more than training. Pumba is not a puppy so I was amazed at how quickly Vicky worked him out and how to get Pumba back on track!”

Ashley Cooper

“We attended Puppy Squad, a Puppy Squad Social, and did several 1:1s with Vicky. She was amazing! Vicky helped us to develop a strong, positive bond with our Spaniel pup (her recall is brilliant) and taught us a lot about puppy behaviour. Everything we learnt in our 1:1 sessions has been invaluable, and we use almost all of the tools she shared with us every day!”

Efi Rizou

“Vicky is absolutely amazing and really went above and beyond with our fully energetic Labrador. Their 1 2 1 offered us ways to keep his mind more “occupied” and find ways to use his brain more. We also had a chance to meet our puppy better and understand him, as first time dog parents’. The teen puppy classes were great for him, as he learned to socialise “calmer” and to connect better with us. Vicky really cares about every dog and her care does not just finish with the classes. She was always available for us giving us some very useful recommendations and suggestions. Goofy absolutely loves her as we do! Thank you for everything Vicky and see you soon again to the springs classes!”

Tom Hancock

“Vicky was absolutely brilliant in helping us with our nervous dog. She really took the time to understand our dog individually and suggested a number of different ideas to help him out. She was responsive, gave great feedback, attentive and generally incredibly helpful. We’ve made fabulous progress across the board and genuinely couldn’t have done it without Vicky’s help and guidance. Would absolutely recommend for any training or behavioural issues. She is superb.”

Lauren

“Vicky has been nothing short of a miracle worker! As first time dog pawrents we literally had no idea but we’ve now got a fabulous dog who knows his commands and follows them. She knows how to train dogs and owners so that they have happy, healthy friendly dogs. I can’t recommend her enough!”
