Puppy Foundations Programme
£470.00
Set Your Puppy Up for Life – The Right Way From Day One
(Payment plan available)
The Problem:
You've got an adorable puppy. But in 6-12 months? That cute jumping could be a 30kg dog knocking over your kids. That playful mouthing could turn into actual biting. That pulling on the lead could mean you can't walk them at all.
The truth: 90% of behavioral problems in adult dogs could have been prevented with proper training in the first 6 months.
The good news: You found us before it's too late.
This Programme Is Perfect For:
✔️ Puppies aged 8 weeks to 6 months
✔️ New puppy owners who want to do it RIGHT from the start
✔️ Families with children who need a well-behaved family dog
✔️ Owners who don't have time to research "how to train a puppy" on YouTube
✔️ People who want to prevent problems, not fix them later
✔️ First-time dog owners feeling overwhelmed
What Your Puppy Will Learn:
🐕 Essential Obedience:
Sit, down, stay, come when called (even with distractions)
Loose lead walking (no more arm-pulling walks!)
Wait at doors/gates (safety first)
Leave it & drop it (stop them eating everything!)
🏠 Home Manners:
No jumping on people (visitors will thank you)
Settle & calm behavior on command
Crate training (if needed)
Alone time without anxiety
🐾 Social Skills:
Proper greeting behavior with people
Appropriate play with other dogs
Confidence in new environments
Exposure to sights, sounds, vehicles
🧠 Life Skills:
Impulse control (the foundation of everything)
Focus on you, even with distractions
Handling for vet visits, grooming, nail trims
Car travel manners

£2,000-£5,000 spent on behavioural rehabilitation later (we know – we fix these dogs)
Years of frustration, stress, and pulling on walks
Potential aggression or reactivity issues
Limited social life (can't take your dog anywhere)
Vet bills from eating things they shouldn't
✅ With the Puppy Foundation Programme:
A confident, well-adjusted adult dog
Enjoyable walks and outings together
A dog you're proud to take anywhere
Strong bond built on communication, not frustration
Prevention of 90% of future behavioral problems

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: My puppy is only 8 weeks old – isn't that too young?
A: NO! 8-16 weeks is the CRITICAL socialization window. This is the BEST time to start.
Q: Can't I just watch YouTube videos?
A: You could. But will you know if you're doing it wrong? Will you know how to fix problems when they arise? Professional guidance = faster results, fewer mistakes.
Q: My puppy is already 5 months old – is it too late?
A: Not too late, but we need to start NOW. After 6 months, prevention becomes rehabilitation (more time, more cost).
Q: Do I need to bring anything?
A: Just your puppy, treats they love, and a willingness to learn. We provide everything else.
Q: What if I can't make a session?
A: We'll reschedule – life happens. Your investment is protected.
