Life Skills for Puppies

Service Description

Designed for new puppy owners who want expert guidance, not group chaos. This course is based on Lincoln University’s Life Skills for Puppies – the best-selling, science-backed programme that teaches the 10 essential skills every dog needs to thrive. It’s the same structure used to train professionals, now brought directly to you. Why Choose This Over a Puppy Class? Bespoke coaching for you and your puppy Every dog learns differently. Group classes can’t adapt to your puppy’s confidence level, energy or challenges—but I can. Whether your puppy is nervous, overexcited, or frustrated, I’ll help you build real-world skills that last. No slippery floors. No chaotic groups. No missed red flags. Most classes use venues with floors that are unsafe for developing joints. Slipping might look funny—but it can cost you in pain and vet bills later. I don’t run group classes anymore because the risks simply outweigh the benefits. You’ll learn faster, better, and with less stress. Forget trying to absorb instructions while your puppy jumps, whines, or bites your coat sleeve. This course gives you calm space to learn how to teach your puppy properly, with coaching that’s clear, practical and designed to fit your real life. Prevention is better than cure. Why wait until your dog pulls on the lead, barks at visitors or refuses to come back? Start early. Teach well. Raise a dog you’ll love to live with.
