Perfect for all puppies under 6 months…we’ll meet you where you’re at!

All of our programs are done as one-on-one lessons at your home or around town, so that you can get the individual attention you need.

The biggest difference between the programs is that the larger ones allow you to get results faster.

 

  • We do the hard work for you by working with your dog 1-on-1 in jumpstart training to escalate their progress. The more time we get to spend with your puppy, the faster they will be reliably listening in a variety of situations so you have more freedom to do things with them. People are astonished at the change around they see in their puppy after the jump start.

  • The larger programs also have more long-term support after the program ends for your peace of mind

Brand new puppy? Let’s lay the foundations so they grow up to be easy and fun to be around.

PUP FOUNDATIONS

Start age is 8-13 weeks

 Congratulations on having made the leap to get a puppy! Would you just love to have a roadmap to success so that you know your pup will grow up to be the dog you’ve always wanted?

So many families realise too late what they could have prevented in their maturing dog if they’d only been prepared with skills and knowledge earlier on. Puppy class is fabulous for socialising your pup with other puppies, but may leave you at a loss for how to best train yourself and your puppy with skills you’ll need in the real world.

Do you want to ensure that your puppy doesn’t mouth and jump on guests, and is able to settle calmly in their crate or on their bed at home when you need a break?

You will have the knowledge you need to move forward and raise a happy healthy dog who is easy to be around at home.

This program is typically completed in about 6 weeks and includes:

  • Access to a Pre-Puppy Arrival lesson so that you can have an easy and relaxing first day (and night) home…instead of a sleepless night and chaotic day. Families love this because it means they have the answers to their questions at their fingertips!
  • Preventing and Solving Puppy Basics like puppy biting, chewing, sleepless nights, crate training and the basics of how to create an adaptable, resilient dog who will remain calm and happy no matter where you go.
  • All recommended equipment and goodies included.

  • Access to 2 months of text/email/phone support after the program ends should a question come up in the future.

Imagine your crazy adorable adolescent puppy going to a café and being so good that everyone is actually envious of you!

 

Super Pup

Does your puppy listen most of the time, but just isn’t that motivated to stick close to you? As they get older you want to be able to go on adventures, or walk down the street without them being over-the-top excited to follow smells and ignoring you when they see other dogs and people.

Your heart sinks when you see other families with a dog that is bouncing around on the end of the lead like a kangaroo and not happy to just trot along contentedly.

You don’t want your puppy to end up like that too, but don’t know how to prevent it!

Puppy class is a great place for socialising your puppy, but you also want them to have all the skills so that they can be a calm and confident dog in public for the rest of their life.

Together we’ll train your puppy to be that wonderful dog.

That way owning them won’t be worrying…and expensive with all the bills you have to pay when they eat things they shouldn’t, or damage your house and garden.

Whether you want to be able to have guests over and know your puppy won’t harass them by jumping up or biting, or whether you would love to enjoy your puppy out and about with you at cafes and on walks and still have them listen and stay relaxed, we have you covered.

This program allows us to support you throughout your puppy’s early growth stages so that when things challenge you as they change from a fluff ball to having a mind of their own, they will still listen to you and be fun to be around.

Everyone will be super impressed by your relaxed, happy puppy, and you can be proud of them at home and in public as well!

The core parts of this program are typically achieved in about 2 months and include:

  • Access to a Pre-Puppy Arrival lesson so that you can have an easy and relaxing first day (and night) home…instead of a sleepless night and chaotic day. Families love this because it means they have the answers to their questions at their fingertips!
  • 2 Accelerate Training days where the trainer works 1:1 with your puppy so that you have to do less of the hard work, and you will get better results!
  • Field trips around town so that your puppy learns to listen and relax in new environments
  • Giving you a pup who is Reliable around Distractions, doesn’t pull on the lead, listens to you around distractions and is calm in the house.
  • All recommended equipment and goodies included.

     

  • Access to 3 months of In-Person support after the program ends so you can get the best results possible.

Imagine having a wonderful puppy who just sticks by you and calmly looks at all the action around them as if it’s none of their business. They are reliable and listen no matter what!

Dream Pup

When you made the decision to get a new puppy, you dreamed of that amazing dog that you could take anywhere with you. They walk placidly down the street near your side on a leash, and are super excited to come when you call them, not trying to run away or whining, but actually enjoying being with you!

They have bonded strongly with you and nothing spooks them or sends them into a frenzy of uncontrollable energy.

You are able to just enjoy your puppy’s beautiful nature without all the worries of what will happen if you leave them home alone, or what they’ll do if you have guests over, or the frustration of not being able to walk them because they wheel around on the lead and whine and fuss when they see other dogs.

They come when you call no matter where you are…at home, at the dog park, at the beach! You can trust your little bundle of fur to listen and respond to you so that you know they will be safe off leash.

As your puppy gets older they will surprise you with new and cheeky habits that may leave you wondering what to do. But that doesn’t have to be! This program covers all of your dog’s training – from now on!

LIFETIME IN-PERSON SUPPORT is like having insurance for your dog’s behaviour! We’re here for you – FROM NOW ON. Life will be a breeze as you feel fully prepared to tackle anything that might get thrown in your path.

We’ll support you through puppyhood and adolescence right up to adulthood and beyond so that you have the peace of mind that your pup will become the dog of your dreams! When changes happen, you will know how to manage the situations and your puppy will have skills like happily relaxing on their bed while people are over, or turning in their tracks the moment you call them so that life together will be easy.

Whether at home, in town, at the beach, in the bush or on a walk around your block, your puppy actually wants to follow where you lead, but also isn’t anxious if you have to leave them alone at any point.

 

The core parts of this program are typically achieved in about 3 months and include:

  • Access to a Pre-Puppy Arrival lesson so that you can have an easy and relaxing first day (and night) home…instead of a sleepless night and chaotic day. Families love this because it means they have the answers to their questions at their fingertips!
  • 4 Accelerate Training days where the trainer works 1:1 with your puppy so that you have to do less of the hard work, and you will get better results!
  • Doggie meet ups and walks to ensure your pup is calm and happy around other dogs!
  • Access to our entire Video Resource Centre so that you can learn faster – and refer back for reminders for months to come!
  • Giving you a pup who Listens Off Lead Around ANYTHING they’ll come when called, listen to you even when they’re in the middle of something else, stay calm around guests and things that excite them, stay loose on the lead, ignore other dogs and people when you tell them to!

  • Lifetime In-Person Support. If you ever need some polishing up or a new problem pops up later, we’ll get together for another lesson.

"We were struggling with biting and recall and due to our in-experience were confused how to start...

Frances is an extremely talented and kind trainer. The turn around we saw in our puppy was incredible. Frances is able to clearly communicate and show us how to train your dog to produce the results you’re looking for.

We were struggling with biting and recall and due to our in-experience were confused how to start addressing these issues and found our self getting frustrated. Frances provided us with an individualised program that catered for our needs and availability. She worked with us 1:1 and privately where she was able to mould our energetic dog into a bright positive and lovely cuddle companion.

Frances made us feel safe and welcomed. She provided support and reassurance throughout and was almost instant in her reply’s, proving us with multiple strategies and plans that we could start implementing.

We cannot thank Frances enough for all you’ve done for Moe and us. We cannot recommend you highly enough.

All of our programs include the popular bonus of unlimited support during the course of the program, should you ever have a question or struggle!

All of the programs aim at getting a high level of results from your dog’s training – that’s why for some, we will give you extra support to achieve your goals!

FAQs

Will the programs work for adult dogs AND puppies?

Yes – absolutely! Because we personalise all of our training to fit you and your dog, the training will work to resolve the things you’re struggling with regardless of your dog’s age, size or breed!

What if my dog is a perfectly good dog, but just seems stressed out all the time?

We’ve got you covered there too! We offer a specialised approach for dogs that react to other dogs, are protective of their people, or have obsessive behaviours. The method we use will gently show your dog that they don’t need to worry any more – you’re capable of taking care of the situation!
