Long skills that truly last

What is it

The strongest possible
start for your puppy

Our puppy training programs are designed for owners who want more than basic obedience. Whether you’re raising a future family companion, working dog, or sport prospect, we build calm behaviour, focus, and emotional stability that lasts.

Structured, age-appropriate methods. Balanced, fair, and ethical. Real-world skills — not just exercises. Suitable for all breeds and experience levels.

What’s included

Three pillars of our
puppy training

Confidence

Confidence Building & Socialisation

Your puppy learns to navigate the world with calm and stability:

Remain calm around people, dogs, and new environments
Navigate surfaces, equipment, and obstacles confidently
Handle noise, movement, and new experiences without stress
Develop emotional stability in real-world settings

The result is a well-balanced puppy who adapts easily to everyday life.

Behaviour

Problem-Prevention & Behaviour Shaping

We address the most common puppy issues early, before they become habits:

Jumping, mouthing, and biting
Over-arousal and poor impulse control
Barking and demanding behaviour
Chewing and destructive habits

Owners receive clear home routines, daily structure, and practical strategies to keep progress consistent.

Life Skills

Real-World Lifestyle Skills

We teach practical skills that make your dog easy to live with:

Calm behaviour in public spaces (cafés, parks, shops)
Vet and grooming handling
Settling on a mat or in unfamiliar environments
Polite leash behaviour around people and dogs
Early independence to reduce separation-related issues

A puppy who is easy to live with at home and in public.

Common questions

Puppy training —
your questions answered

We recommend beginning training as early as 8–10 weeks. The earlier your pup learns structure and boundaries, the more stable and confident they become as adults.

Absolutely. We guide first-time dog owners every step of the way — from leash handling to reading your puppy’s body language.

We focus on confidence building, leash skills, marker training, recall, crate comfort, social exposure, and impulse control — all tailored to your pup’s age and stage.

Yes. We use clear structure, reward-based communication, and corrections appropriate to age and temperament — with long-term clarity as the goal.

Absolutely — we cover all the most common puppy issues with simple, effective solutions that build good habits early.

No problem. We specialise in working with all temperaments — especially dogs that need help building confidence and environmental resilience.

We offer flexible options: from private weekly sessions to intensive board & train packages. We’ll help you choose based on your goals and your puppy’s needs.

Most owners see changes within the first week. Long-term reliability is built over consistent sessions.

Yes! While we specialise in working breeds, our foundation training applies to all puppies — whether you’re raising a future sport dog or a calm family companion.

Yes, we offer both. Private sessions provide one-on-one guidance tailored to your puppy’s specific needs, while group classes are excellent for socialisation, real-world distractions, and learning alongside other puppies. Many clients combine both for the best results. Learn more about group classes →

Absolutely! We encourage family involvement so everyone can learn how to communicate with your puppy effectively. Consistency from all household members helps reinforce good habits and strengthens the bond between your puppy and your family.

Yes! We provide ongoing support after your puppy training programme. You can contact us with questions, refresher advice, or guidance on new challenges as your puppy grows. Our goal is to ensure training sticks and your puppy continues to progress confidently at home.

Yes! While early puppy training is ideal, older puppies and adult dogs can absolutely learn new skills and improve behaviour. Training methods are adapted to your dog’s age, temperament, and learning history to ensure success at any stage.

We raised the youngest Irish National IGP Champion in history — and are now training his daughter. Your puppy will benefit from the same proven methods, world-class structure, and lifelong support. Learn about Jagger →
