Our Professional 1:1 Puppy Training Near You!

January 13, 20254 min read

When you bring a new puppy into your life, the joy, excitement, and endless cuddles are unparalleled. But alongside the wagging tails and playful antics, puppies bring their own set of behavioural challenges. 

This is why effective private puppy training becomes so vital in establishing correct behaviours as well as strengthening the relationship you have with your dog for their continued wellbeing and safety, and your continued happiness.

At My Complex Canine, we offer professional 1:1 training services tailored to your puppy’s needs, helping you to raise a well-behaved, confident, and happy companion.

Puppy

Why Choose Private Puppy Training?

Puppies are like sponges in their early months, absorbing information and forming habits that will shape their behaviour for life. While group classes are popular and necessary for some elements of socialisation, our private puppy training, offers unique advantages that are difficult to match, such as:

  • Personalised Attention - We understand that every puppy is different, with their own quirks, energy levels, and temperament. Private training ensures our trainer’s full focus is on your puppy, allowing for a tailored approach that addresses their specific needs.

  • Convenience - We deliver our bespoke training sessions at your home location or local area, allowing your puppy to train in a familiar environment. Whether at home or a nearby agreed location, our private training provides you with flexibility.

  • Focused Learning - Without the distractions of a group setting, your puppy can concentrate better, potentially leading to quicker progress.

  • Faster Results - One-on-one attention often accelerates learning, helping your puppy master commands and behaviours more efficiently.

Our private puppy training sessions are designed to create a positive, stress-free learning environment where both you and your puppy can thrive.

What Does Our Private Puppy Training Include?

Our professional private puppy training  covers a wide range of skills to ensure your puppy grows into a well-mannered adult dog. Here’s a few of the things you can expect from our sessions:

  • Basic Obedience Training - Teaching foundational commands like sit, stay, come, and down is essential for your puppy’s safety and your peace of mind. These commands can form the building blocks for a harmonious relationship between you and your pet.

  • House Training - Potty training is one of the first challenges new puppy owners face. We provide practical guidance to help your puppy learn where and when to go, making accidents a thing of the past.

  • Socialisation Skills - Socialising your puppy with other dogs, people, and environments is crucial for their development. Even in private sessions, we can incorporate strategies to build confidence and reduce fear or anxiety in new situations.

  • Lead Training - Pulling on the lead can turn a relaxing walk into a frustrating tug-of-war. Our lead training techniques can help your puppy walk calmly by your side, making walks enjoyable for both of you.

  • Addressing Problem Behaviours - From excessive barking and chewing to separation anxiety, we can identify and address behavioural issues before they become ingrained habits. In fact, we are a SCert.SAPT separation anxiety specialist, certified by a global expert, you can trust our expertise.

  • Advanced Training - Once your puppy has mastered the basics, we can work on advanced skills such as recall in challenging environments, impulse control, and even fun tricks to keep their mind engaged in our advanced puppy classes. 

My Complex Canine
