Give your new puppy the best start in life
Puppies are amazing. They’re enthusiastic, inquisitive, and an endless source of delight. They can also very easily develop habits and coping strategies which are unhelpful for them, incompatible with your lifestyle, or even dangerous for them or other dogs or people.
Concept Training gives your puppy real-world life skills – here are some examples:
Calmness
True calmness is vital for the type of rest which grows a healthy body. It’s also an incredibly valuable skill to have in the face of distractions. A puppy who can calm quickly – and stay calm – is a predictable dog you can take anywhere.
Optimism
The world is an exciting place for puppies – but exposing them to too much, too early, can quickly become overwhelming and lead to anxiety or even fear-based responses. A puppy with the right amount of appropriate socialisation is an easy-going, confident adult dog.
Impulse Control
Puppies want to explore everything – and that means with their mouths. Teaching impulse control from an early age creates a patient and frustration-tolerant dog, redirects ‘nipping’, and provides a vital puppy safety net with cues like “DROP!”.

Consultation
FREE
A short video call. This gives you the opportunity to see how I work, and gives me an idea of your dog’s needs. It's your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process.
Assessment
£115
We work out where you currently are, and where you want to be, with your dog(s). We then set out what skills we need to start building to get you moving towards your goals.
Training
£80 per session (1 hour)
Highly targeted sessions, each building skills on top of the last. I create 'cue cards' to help you learn, and you feed back to me between sessions so we keep everyone on track.
My approach (making you the trainer) is wildly different to traditional 'dog training' - and it works, time and time again.
(so that you are not wasting your time contacting me)
❤️🩹 I only work with vaccinated dogs
(unless they are puppies awaiting their first vaccination)
🚭 I only work in non-smoking households
If any of the above is an issue for you, kindly look elsewhere for training
