Puppy Training Options
Puppy training for all stages - from 8 weeks through to adolescence. Whether you need comprehensive support to build your confidence, or help with teenage challenges.
"Fiona is fantastic. Having worked with a previous trainer in the past, I can confidently say Fiona really is highly skilled at what she does."
"Not only do I feel so much more confident in training, it has been effective, as as my dog's behaviour has been consistently changing in response"
- Sophie & Indie (The Cockapoo/Sproodle)
Puppy Foundations Package
Puppy Foundations Programme
1:1 in-home puppy training support
1:1 Package: 4 x 1hr Sessions
When your puppy is biting, chewing everything in sight, struggling to settle, and you’re not sure what to do for the best, it’s easy to feel stuck — like nothing you try is working. This programme gives you the understanding to change that.
How It Works:
-
Session 1 - I visit your home to get to know you and your puppy, understand what's going on, and tackle the things that matter most right now.
-
Sessions 2 to 4 - We build on what's working, address what isn't, and adapt as your puppy develops. Every session is shaped around where you and your puppy actually are.
What’s Included:
✔ 4 x 1-hour sessions at home and nearby for real-life practice
✔Personalised training plan tailored to your puppy’s needs
✔ Simple step-by-step instructions so you feel confident practising
✔ My own puppy guidebook packed with tips you can revisit anytime
✔ Ongoing support between sessions via WhatsApp
✔ Guidance on calm, manageable behaviour at home — including biting, settling, recall, lead walking, and early self-control

"I thoroughly enjoyed Oscar’s and my training sessions with Fiona."
"She brought a warm and compassionate attitude to puppy training, and coupled with her excellent knowledge it made our sessions hugely beneficial."

Puppy Foundations Package
Teen Dog Support
(6 months+)
1:1 in-home training support for adolescent dogs
1:1 Package: 4 x 1hr Sessions
When your dog stops listening and nothing you try seems to work, it can feel like you're going round in circles — especially on walks, when recall disappears, or they seem completely switched off outside the house.
You’re not stuck — you just need a different approach.
Whether it’s jumping up, pulling on the lead, running off at the park, or struggling to settle at home, these behaviours usually make sense when you understand what’s driving them. And that’s where we start.
How It Works:
Before we start, I’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire, so I arrive already understanding your dog and your situation.
-
Session 1 - We look at what's driving your dog's behaviour, what's proving difficult, and where to start.
-
Sessions 2 to 4 - We build practical strategies that work in real life, improving communication and helping your dog make better choices in everyday situations.
What’s Included:
✔4 x 1-hour in-home sessions
✔ Detailed pre-session questionnaire so we hit the ground running
✔ Personalised training plan tailored to your dog's specific challenges
✔ Step-by-step guidance so you feel confident practising between sessions ✔ WhatsApp support available between sessions for any questions

What happens after the programme?
Training doesn’t stop when the programme ends.
Follow-on sessions are available at £75 per hour if you’d like ongoing support — whether that’s working through new challenges, building on your progress, or continuing your training as your dog develops.
"Highly recommend Fiona. I have a very sociable six month old puppy. So much so, that playing with other dogs was far more fun than coming back when called. That and pulling when on a lead was becoming problematic."
"Fiona was able to break the training down into small steps that were super easy to follow. My dog absolutely loved our sessions as did I."

"Fiona was a real pleasure to work with and helped us massively in the early days (and even before!) bringing our Winnie home."
She has been a great sounding board, problem solver and empathetic teacher for the whole family, and has been able to adapt and mould her teaching to suit the specific quirks of our pup."
