Not all puppies flourish in busy group classes. At The Family Dog Academy, our puppy training is personalised, delivered one-to-one in the comfort of your home which means your puppy learns in a calm, familiar space – and you gain practical, real-world solutions that work in your day-to-day life.
Our philosophy is simple: we don’t just train your puppy – we coach YOU to train your puppy. This gives you the skills and confidence to guide them through puppyhood and beyond.
The first months of your puppy’s life are a golden window for learning. Therefore early training builds good habits before bad ones take root, boosts confidence, and lays the groundwork for a lifetime of good behaviour.
With our positive, reward-based approach, your puppy will learn in a way that’s enjoyable, encouraging, and effective.
We’ll teach essential cues like Sit, Wait, Down, Leave, Touch, and Watch – giving you tools for safety, manners, and trust.
We’ll guide you in introducing your puppy to new people, pets, sounds, and environments, preventing fear and building resilience.
From toilet training and sleeping habits to managing chewing, mouthing, and separation anxiety – we’ll help your puppy settle happily into family life.
Learn our proven method to stop pulling so walks become a pleasure, not a tug-of-war.
We’ll help you build a rock-solid recall so your puppy comes back every time, giving you peace of mind in open spaces.
