From Psychology to Puppy Training

I hold a degree in Psychology and extensive experience in the learning and development field, training people in business and educational settings. My love for learning and helping others, inspired me to transition into the animal training field.

Through my volunteer work and further practical experience working at Battersea, I built my knowledge in dog training and behaviour. Achieving a Level 5 Dog Practitioner Diploma and becoming a certified Puppy School tutor.

As a certified Puppy School tutor I am part of a network of qualified, knowledgeable and experienced puppy trainers. I am regularly reviewed to ensure high standards and continually improve and assess my services to the most up to date, evidence based methods.

My own training journey reflects a deep commitment to understanding and promoting positive relationships between humans and their dogs.

Inspired by Personal Experience

My amazing dog Harley, has been a significant influence on my training approach and business philosophy. Harley's numerous medical issues from a young age provided me with valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of raising a puppy with complex needs.

This personal experience drives me to support other puppy parents, helping them to avoid common mistakes and fostering a happy, healthy relationships with their furry friends.

My goal is to create a community where dog parents feel supported and confident in their training journey, ensuring their puppies grow into well-behaved and well-adjusted dogs.

From Puppy Pandemonium To Perfect Pooches: Why My Complex Canine’s Puppy Classes Are A Must-Have

January 13, 20254 min read

Welcoming a puppy into your home is a moment of pure joy. Those wiggling tails, puppy-dog eyes, and boundless energy bring happiness to any household. 

However, along with this undeniable cuteness comes the challenge of teaching your puppy how to adapt to their new world safely, reinforcing good behaviour and providing them with effective training, which can be ineffective and hasslesome without the correct guidance.  

This is where the professionalism and expertise of My Complex Canine’s puppy classes step in to save the day.

Based in the UK, at My Complex Canine, we offer comprehensive group puppy classes to vaccinated puppies that have been cleared by their vet to attend and are 20 weeks or younger as of the first class.  

We have designed these sessions to not only establish good behaviour in your puppy but also to equip you as an owner with the tools and knowledge you need for a harmonious life with your canine companion.

You will attend six classes with each class an hour long.

Puppy Classes

The Importance Of Early Training

Puppies learn and grow every day, the behaviours they will carry with them for the rest of their lives shaped by everything they experience in their first few months. 

In this critical window, it is essential to expose your puppy to various lessons, people, environments, and other dogs so that they are less likely to develop fear or anxiety later, and instead develop more positive behaviours of confidence and calmness. 

However, effective socialisation and training require a structured approach that is often not possible without experience. Which is why, at My Complex Canine, our puppy classes provide this vital socialisation and guided training you need.  

With our professional guidance, your puppy will learn how to behave in different situations, meet other dogs and people appropriately, and respond to basic commands such as sit, lie down, recall, stay, and proper walking etiquette on a lead - all while having fun.

Professionalism You Can Trust

At My Complex Canine, we set ourselves apart with our dedication to professionalism and utilisation of up-to-date, evidence-based methods. We understand that every puppy is unique, with its own personality, breed characteristics, and learning pace; Tailoring our teaching style to ensure every puppy and their owner gets the most out of our sessions.

Benefits Of Group Puppy Classes

While one-to-one training has its merits, group classes offer unique advantages that should not be overlooked.

Our puppy classes bring together a small group of dogs and their owners, creating a controlled yet dynamic environment for learning and socialisation, with this effective set up we can focus on: 

  • Real-Life Socialisation - Interacting with other puppies in a safe setting helps your puppy learn essential social skills. We ensure all puppy greetings are taken at a slow pace, to maintain optimal safety and minimal stress for the puppies and you as an owner. We will help your puppies practice appropriate behaviours and understand boundaries, which are crucial for peaceful interactions with other dogs in the future.

    Additionally, we will work on socialisation between puppies and humans so that shy puppies can develop confidence and work through anxiety, and boisterous puppies can learn how to properly greet people without jumping or getting too out of control. 

  • Distraction Management - Training in a group setting teaches your puppy to focus on you, even when there are distractions. This skill is invaluable for real-world scenarios like walking in a busy park or attending family gatherings.

  • Varied Experiences - Each class can include different setups or exercises, exposing your puppy to new sights, sounds, and challenges. This helps build their confidence and resilience in an engaging way.

What To Expect From My Complex Canine’s Puppy Classes

When you enrol in one of My Complex Canine’s puppy courses, you can expect a structured yet flexible programme that caters to your puppy’s needs. Sessions typically cover:

  • Basic Commands - These include things such as sit, down, stay, come and more - which are taught using trusted positive reinforcement techniques.

  • Problem Solving - We can address common puppy issues like nipping, play biting, jumping, and chewing.

  • Confidence Building - We offer activities that encourage your puppy to explore and overcome minor challenges they may face commonly - e.g. going to the groomers or the vet.

  • Owner Education - We can offer you guidance on reading your puppy’s body language, managing their energy levels, and maintaining consistency in training.

Our classes are kept small to ensure individual attention, and our knowledgeable instructor is always on hand to offer advice tailored to your specific situation.

Building A Lifelong Bond

The benefits of enrolling in puppy classes extend far beyond the sessions themselves. By committing to early training, you are laying the foundation for a lifetime of good behaviour and companionship. Your puppy will learn to trust and respect you, making them a joy to be around in any situation.
