Affinity Dog Training & Behaviour
Relationship based pet dog training
Puppy consults
This is designed to assist new or experienced puppy owners in setting your young dog up for success and helping to prepare them for their life as a family dog. Getting off to a good start is so beneficial, as it can help prevent problems occurring later on. It includes a 2 - hour consultation which covers a variety of important topics that will help in raising your puppy. These include: Toilet training, crate training, mouthing/chewing, socialisation, diet, handling, responsible dog ownership and more. We then begin to teach some foundation training such as learning their name, recalls and leave, so you can begin to learn some of the essential basics to practise with your pup.

At the end of your session you will also receive a 'puppy pack' which gives you information and details on the subjects we covered, leaving you with something you can keep and refer back to when needed.
Puppy Sessions
Puppy sessions are available for owners who would like to get the best out of their puppy, but may prefer to learn and train on an individual basis. These sessions can take place in your own home or at a local park/area. Puppy sessions include teaching foundation training as well as general manners and obedience around the home and outside, such as: loose lead walking, recall, leave, stay, not jumping up, appropriate play, handling, crate training, chewing/mouthing etc. As your puppy begins to grasp an understanding of what you are asking, we can begin to stretch you both further and look at proofing your training in a variety of environments and distractions. Sessions are followed up with training handouts on what we have covered.
