PUPPY BOOTCAMP

My bespoke Puppy Boot Camp (PBC) has been carefully designed to give puppies the strongest possible foundation during the most important stages of early development. Unlike traditional kennel-based residential training programmes, Puppy Boot Camp is run from my family home, providing a calm, structured, and loving environment where puppies can learn naturally whilst feeling safe, secure, and relaxed.

 

This home-based approach allows puppies to experience realistic day-to-day routines and environments, helping to create a far smoother transition when they eventually return home to their owners. The focus is not simply on obedience, but on raising calm, confident, well-rounded puppies with strong social skills, clear communication, and reliable behaviour.

 

Training centres around positive reinforcement, structure, enrichment, and relationship-building, teaching puppies how to better understand both humans and other dogs. Throughout their stay, puppies receive consistent guidance, routine, affection, and socialisation alongside training and discipline, ensuring they develop emotionally as well as behaviourally.

PUPPY BOOTCAMP

My one-of-a-kind, bespoke Puppy Boot Camp (PBC) is the consummate beginning to prepare any puppy for adulthood. Unlike other kennel-based, residential training programmes, the PBC is run from my family home to ensure your puppy can grow in a stress-free environment and learn with a more realistic training experience, enabling a smooth transition when they return home to you.

 

My training centres on giving dogs more enrichment from their humans while imprinting simple signs to create focus and obedience. You can rest assured that your puppy will receive equal amounts of love, care, and affection as they will with training, education, and discipline.

Based in London, N3, your puppy will live alongside my two dogs, Saffy and Fifi, who have helped mentor and socialise hundreds of puppies over the years. Dogs naturally learn from one another, and this environment helps teach important behaviours such as dog communication, social boundaries, confidence, and household manners in a calm and controlled setting.

 

At the end of the programme, owner training sessions are also included to ensure both you and your puppy return home with the right structure, understanding, and tools to continue progressing together.

 

A huge part of Puppy Boot Camp is enrichment. Puppies are encouraged to learn through play, stimulation, affection, routine, and positive experiences to help create balanced, fulfilled behaviour and reduce anxiety or overstimulation.

 

Puppies benefit from constant supervision, plenty of exercise, and access to my secure private terrace and garden areas, creating a safe and engaging environment for both learning and play. Enrichment walks on Hampstead Heath are included for inoculated puppies, helping them build confidence in the real world.

 

To support relaxation and calmness, all puppies are introduced to gentle enrichment routines, including calming downtime and sensory-based play. At the end of their stay, puppies are fully groomed using natural products before returning home calmer, more responsive, and with established foundations.

 

The overall aim of PBC is simple: to help your puppy become a confident and balanced companion whilst giving owners the strongest possible start together.

BARKING

Excessive barking is one of the most common challenges puppy owners face. Training focuses on understanding the root cause of the behaviour - whether excitement, anxiety, attention-seeking, or overstimulation - and teaching calmer responses through structure, engagement, and clear communication.

BASIC OBEDIENCE & COMMANDS

Daily obedience training helps puppies develop clear communication, focus, and reliable behaviour from an early age. Using my specially developed intuitive training techniques, puppies learn essential commands such as sit, stay, recall, lead walking, and calm behaviour at home

SOCIALISATION

Positive socialisation plays a huge role in your puppy’s emotional development and long-term confidence. Puppies are carefully introduced to new environments and experiences in a calm and controlled way, helping reduce fear, anxiety, and reactive behaviours later in life whilst building confidence and trust.

WALKS ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH

Enrichment walks on Hampstead Heath help puppies experience new environments, sights, sounds, and distractions whilst improving lead walking, engagement, confidence, and focus. These real-world training sessions are designed to build calm behaviour and reliable obedience outside of the home.

TOILET TRAINING

Fast-track toilet training focuses on building reliable habits, routines, and consistency from the beginning. By understanding your puppy’s routine, behaviour, and key signs, training helps minimise accidents and establish positive long-term toilet habits as quickly and smoothly as possible.

ENRICHMENT

Mental stimulation and enrichment are essential for raising a calm, balanced, and fulfilled puppy. Through structured play, interaction, sensory activities, affection, and calming downtime, puppies are encouraged to develop confidence, reduce boredom, and build healthy emotional behaviours alongside their obedience training.
