Puppy Training Foundations Programme
Give your puppy the best possible start in life
Welcoming a new puppy is exciting — and a little overwhelming.
The Puppy Training Foundations Programme helps you navigate those crucial first weeks with confidence, clarity, and calm.
Across eight structured, one-to-one sessions, we’ll build the calmness, focus, and real-world skills your puppy needs to grow into a relaxed, well-mannered companion.
Programme Overview
8 Sessions | 10 Weeks | Tailored 1:1 Support
Sessions 1–4: In-Home Foundations
Early-stage calmness, confidence, and core life skills.
Sessions 5–8: Real-World Confidence
Taking those skills into the world — parks, towns, cafés — to build reliability everywhere.
What You’ll Learn
Each plan is bespoke to your puppy and your lifestyle, covering:
●Toilet training, crate training, mouthing and teething
●Handling, husbandry, and vet-prep confidence
●Settle, focus, stay, wait, and recall
●Loose-lead walking and calm greetings
●The role of play, socialisation, and confidence-building
●Scent work foundations and fun tricks

Our Training Philosophy
At Active Dog Training & Behaviour, we believe in reward-based, science-led training that’s both kind and effective.
We don’t use punishment or intimidation — ever. Instead, we teach your puppy what to do, reward success, and build behaviours that last because your puppy enjoys learning.
This approach creates:
- A confident, motivated puppy
- A stronger bond between you and your dog
- Behaviour that holds up in real-life situations
Training can start from as early as eight weeks old, even before full vaccination. Beginning in your home ensures calm learning before gradually introducing real-world distractions.
