The Foundations We Build Today Shape Their Tomorrow

Puppyhood is a short but important window that shapes your dogs future. The experiences they have now influence how they learn, how they feel and how they respond to the world for the rest of their life. 

Our Puppy training and development programmes combine the latest learning science with a deep understanding of canine emotional development. We create calm, supportive learning environments where puppies can grow in confidence, build essential skills and develop a strong, trusting bond with you.

Our Puppy Training Methods

Positive, Kind,
Science-backed 

We use kind, effective science backed methods that support how puppies learn best. 

IMG_3020_edited.jpg

Positive Reinforcement - rewarding the behaviours  we want to see.
​
Force - free & Fear-free creating emotional safety.
​
Prevention over correction - setting puppies up for success.
​
Clear communication - simple, consistent and fair
​
Short, fun engaging sessions- perfect for puppy brains!

Stress free &
emotionally supported

A puppy's emotional state affects how they learn, how they behave and how they experience the world. 

Safe=Faster Learning - When puppies feel safe they learn faster. 

Coping builds resilience - When they learn to cope, behaviour problems are far less likely.

Strong foundations make life easier - When we build strong foundations early, everything else becomes easier.  

The best training doesn't just change what your dog does, it changes how they feel.

Our Puppy training helps with the everyday challenges
that every puppy parent faces.

"Calm & Kind Instructors"

Our trainers are so calm and kind which makes training a young puppy so much less stressful!! We always love attending and couldn't recommend them anymore highly.

"Safe and controlled environment"

When Bramble started Puppy Foundations he was very shy and wary of bigger dogs. In addition to training, the puppy classes have given him a safe controlled environment to be comfortable with other dogs. Now graduated from Stage 3, he is very well trained and much more confident too?

Highly recommend!
