Puppy Life is Overwhelming
You love your puppy, but you're exhausted
Right now, your puppy is:
- •Your puppy won't settle in their crate and cries all night
- •House training feels impossible - accidents everywhere despite your best efforts
- •They jump, bite and demand attention constantly
- •You're exhausted from the 24/7 demands of puppyhood
- •You worry you're missing the critical socialisation window
- •You don't have time to do all the training your puppy needs right now
The good news?
This is completely normal puppyhood chaos.
Even better? We can help build the foundation while you get a break.
What Your Puppy Will Achieve
Real skills that create a well-adjusted adult dog
Crate Training Success
Your puppy settles calmly in their crate without crying or distress. They learn that crate time is safe, peaceful rest time.
Toilet Training Foundations
Reliable toilet routines established. Your puppy understands where to go and has fewer accidents when they come home.
Polite Puppy Manners
No more jumping, mouthing or overstimulation. Your puppy learns calm greetings and appropriate play behaviour.
Early Obedience Skills
Name recognition, engagement and early recall foundations. Your puppy learns that paying attention to you is rewarding.
Confidence Building
Your puppy develops confidence in new situations through structured socialisation and positive experiences.
