An individually tailored puppy training programme, to suit your lifestyle and your dog’s breed specific characteristics and requirements.

“Would highly recommend Sarah-Jane. She was absolutely fantastic and provided some great insight into the puppy world. As new puppy parents we were able to learn new techniques how to help Bean settle in better and make our lives a little bit less crazy! Thank you again, I will definitely be coming back to all the information you sent throughout Beans life.”
Bean’s owners (Clanfield)
“Sarah has been amazing to work with. We are working towards becoming accredited as a therapy dog team, so it was important to me that we found the right trainer. I could not have been happier with Sarah’s puppy training package. Nothing was too much trouble, she has a wealth of knowledge to help you understand your dog and set them up for success. I will not hesitate to book more sessions with Sarah in the future!”
Pablo’s owner (Emsworth)
“The sessions with Sarah-Jane were absolutely fantastic!
Bruno loved them and we learned a lot. We enjoyed every single lesson and it helped us to better understand our puppy and make our relationship more happy and fulfilled.
We highly recommend 1-2-1 sessions with Sarah-Jane!!! She's a lovely person focused on making puppy's life happier so you can enjoy your dog every day!”

FAQs
-
Yes! These sessions are designed to be delivered in person but if you want to meet online then we can, by all means.
-
Feel free to jot down any notes, particularly those related to your individual situation. However, rest assured that all the essential details will be included in your 'Perfect Puppy Pack’, as well as the training plan which you'll receive via email following the session.
All of my one to ones include written summaries on what we cover in each session, a clear plan of action to work on, as well as easy to follow instructions on training exercises covered.
-
While the internet serves up heaps of helpful advice, it also dishes out its fair share of not-so-great tips. It can be a bit of a challenge to tell what's spot on and what's a bit off.
Sadly, much of the information you stumble upon might be outdated, not tailored to your unique puppy, or could potentially create future issues due to it being based on incorrect and outdated theories on canine behaviour.
-
The significance of establishing trust and a strong connection with your dog should not be underestimated. Scientific research has unequivocally demonstrated that relying on outdated concepts such as "the pack leader," "dominance," and other aversive dog training methods is not just detrimental to your relationship but can also result in enduring psychological harm to your dog.
Instead of effectively addressing the root causes of their issues, these methods merely suppress undesired behaviours without teaching your dog the desired alternative behaviours.
I identify as a positive reinforcement practitioner so you can be assured that the use of fear and intimidation have no place in my approach. Achieving meaningful behaviour modification requires a dedicated investment of time, compassion, and patience but the results speak for themselves. I use the most up to date, science based training methods that have your dog’s welfare at heart.
-
The training plan I create will take into account your lifestyle, your training goals and your puppy.
You will have a well-defined action plan that provides clear guidance on what to focus on both during and in between our sessions.
Many clients find it helpful to print out the plan in order to measure their pups progress and any observations you might want to chat to me about.
-
It's impossible to provide absolute assurances regarding the future behaviour of any animal, given the variations in individual traits, learning histories, and the influence of your own actions.
What I can guarantee is that you will be given the knowledge and techniques to help you with everything you need to set your puppy off on the right paw if you implement the strategies consistently with your dog.
