Spaniel puppy on the beach in Somerset

Personalised support with your new puppy, in Taunton, Wellington & Bridgwater, Somerset.

The excitement is building…!

The arrival of a new puppy is a wonderful time, but it can also feel a bit daunting!

Have you recently welcomed (or soon will!) a new puppy into your home? You’re excited, but the sea of varied advice and options feels overwhelming?

Do you want to give your puppy the best possible start in life with personalised One to One support?

Perhaps you did all the research and felt prepared, but now you’re questioning whether you’ve really got a handle on this wonderful, wiggly, furry, bundle of energy and puppy teeth which has entered your life and stolen your heart (and probably your slippers, again!).

Maybe you’d like options for further training as your puppy grows, but for now, you’re simply looking for practical, up to date advice to help you through your first weeks and months with your tiny new friend.

Help everyone get the best start with the New Puppy Package, designed to provide essential tips and advice for your brand new adventure!

What’s included?

2 x in-person sessions (1 hour each), tailored to you and your puppy, so you know you’re setting them up for the best possible start.

From help getting settled in, to trouble with toilet training, getting started teaching some basic skills or whether you’d like support on your first walks, I’ve got you covered!

Session one can take place either…

  • …before your new puppy arrives, so you can rest assured everything is ready before their arrival and second session, or…
  • …once they’ve joined your family, providing two sessions of fully individualised support for the puppy you know and love.

Written notes following each session, with exercises and advice tailored to you and your puppy for the best chance at success between sessions and onwards for your life together!

“Hayley Burgess has been brilliant helping to start training both our new Lab puppy Indy and her new owners! She was calm and friendly, really knows her stuff and gives excellent feedback. In just two sessions we have made great progress on all the basics. I can thoroughly recommend her.”

One to One Puppy sessions can start at your home once pup has had their first round of vaccinations. For sessions outside of the home I ask that puppies are fully vaccinated.

This is up to you! We’ll work together on the areas you want to prioritise which could include anything from guidance with raising a well rounded pup to getting started with basic life skills. Topics covered could include:

  • Toilet training
  • Sleep routines
  • Puppy biting / mouthing
  • Puppy socialisation
  • Learning basic cues (Sit, Stay etc)
Can I book additional sessions?

Yes! Following completion of your package you can book additional One to One sessions or you may want to join the Life Skills courses or Puppy Socialisation Sessions. I’ll be happy to chat about suitable options for you and your puppy when we meet.
