Get It Right From The Start
From toilet training, biting and lead walking to recall, settling and knowing when to switch off, Rob helps you build the foundations for a calm, confident dog and a relationship that works from the very beginning.
The Puppy Stuff No One Warns You About
Puppies are brilliant, but they can also be hard work. Biting, chewing, toilet accidents, jumping up, pulling on the lead, not settling, not listening, it can all feel like a lot very quickly. Rob helps you understand what’s going on, what your puppy needs from you, and how to put clear, calm boundaries in place before little habits become bigger problems.
Calm At Home
Toilet training, biting and mouthing, chewing, jumping up, switching off, settling on a bed and learning the boundaries of the home. Rob shows you how to make everyday life calmer and clearer for both you and your puppy.
Walking Listening & Recall
Rob helps your puppy learn to walk with you, pay attention to you and come back when called. It’s not about expecting perfection from a baby puppy, it’s about building good habits early so pulling, jumping up and ignoring you don’t become the norm.
Calm, Confidence & Self Control
Overcome excessive over-excitement and nurture real confidence. We teach steady boundaries and impulse control so your puppy feels secure navigating the busy outside world.
Why Real-World Training Beats Standard Puppy School
Rather than repeating generic tricks in a chaotic hall with dozens of distractions, our one-on-one sessions take place in your everyday environment. With over 20 years of expertise, Rob looks at your specific puppy, your household, and your family dynamics to create balanced, lifelong habits.
Before Your Puppy Even Comes Home
Getting things right starts before your puppy walks through the door. Rob offers pre-puppy home visits to help you prepare your home, set up sleeping and feeding routines, decide on boundaries, understand what to expect in those first few weeks, and make sure everyone in the household is on the same page. It’s much easier to build good habits from day one than try to undo them later.
Tailored One-On-One Sessions
Every puppy is different, so every session is different too. Rob works around your puppy, your home and your everyday routine. That might mean working in the house, the garden, on your street or at the local park. The training is practical, personal and focused on what you actually need help with, rather than waiting for little problems to become bigger ones.
How To Get Started
Start with a quick chat with Rob. He’ll get to know a little about your puppy, your home and what you’d like help with, then work out the best place to begin. You can book a pre-puppy home visit before your puppy arrives, or a one-on-one training session once they’re home.
