Puppies
Preparing to bring your new puppy home can be exciting but it's so important that we plan and prepare in advance to set ourselves and our puppy up for success!
Puppies learn best at a very young age (known as the critical learning period) so what we teach them in their early stages is what they will carry forward with them as they grow up (remember - dogs don't ‘grow out’ of unwanted behaviors so it's best to prevent them from starting).
We recommend starting the training process with your puppy from the moment you get home, and better yet, having a clear plan in place before they arrive. Being confident and happy in your setup, plan, and process will help to make for a puppy that feels safe, settled, and relaxed leading to that all important bond.
Starter Puppy Session
£150.00 (2-2.5 hours)
We meet in the home to discuss everything Puppy! From settling in, sleep patterns, daily routine, toilet training, positive bonding, connection and handling, socialisation, habituation, and understanding how dogs learn.
We also discuss how to conquer those pesky puppy behaviours such as mouthing, chewing, jumping up, and how to positively introduce basic obedience work.
**We find this is most beneficial in the first few weeks of puppy being home.

“We enlisted Kimberley’s help when our Yorkie puppy was 10 weeks old, after having him for 2 weeks. I absolutely wish we had met her in the first week as we missed out on valuable insight into our puppy. Nevertheless, after a week of using her tips and tricks, we have already seen a big difference in the attentiveness of our puppy. We can’t wait until he’s big enough to go on group walks and do some serious exploring. 100% recommend this business. We will definitely continue using the training services as our pup grows.

“We completed the puppy package with Spot and Boo with our miniature labradoodle, Huxley and we couldn’t be more pleased with how he’s turned out. Kim taught us all things toilet training, sleep, socialisation, basic commands, lead walking, recall and lots more all in such a positive way. Huxley adored his sessions and we loved them too. All in all - if you’re getting a puppy and want to start as you mean to go on - on the right path, then I 100% recommend Spot and Boo. We have a lovely family pet now, thank you Kim!
