FAQs
-
This service is very much a coaching service. I will give you all the tools you need, but you will also need to do the training outside of our sessions with your dog consistently to see the results.
-
As mentioned above, my aim is to have you self-sufficient as quickly as possible. My brand values are honesty and a genuine desire to help.
However, common reasons for a follow up session include: you would like to progress to more obedience based tasks such as recall and loose lead once the puppy is old enough, your puppy has a strong fear period and you would like to work on this, you like 121 format and would like to continue, some clients like a once a month check in session, you would like to do some controlled meetings with other dogs/puppies.

Puppy socialisation bolt ons are high quality body language and lead handling 121 coaching sessions designed to build on the work done specific to your puppy in the puppy development plan. I won’t socialise a puppy I’ve not met or worked with before, as there is no context for the work and I will not be able to specially select the dog/s from the training team, which will result in a substandard learning experience for all.
The structure of this service ensures the puppies and humans have a quality and enjoyable experience, compared to other competitors in the market who “socialise” large amounts of dogs at the same time without meeting them or knowing them and often cause more problems than they solve. You will get more efficient, tailor made and safe information in 2 of my puppy plan sessions and one socialisation bolt on than anywhere else.

What People Are Saying
“Paul is AMAZING! We contacted him before our puppy arrived home and booked him in for some one to one training, which has been by far the best investment we've made in getting Sunny off to a great start in life.
With two young children, and not having had a dog before, I wanted to make sure we were doing things well.”
“From the first day of puppy parenting, Paul's advice has been invaluable - I think I text him more than the majority of my friends and family. He is always so helpful, calm, encouraging and everything he suggests works, immediately, and there is humour and fun with his training too. He's extremely knowledgeable and explains training methods and games in a clear and concise way which makes it easy to put into practice.”
“As well as being amazing with my puppy, the methods are kind and although we have a lot of training to do, we have a happy and confident dog - and this is largely down to having Paul's help. I think all dog owners should book him, because it's worth every single penny.”
