Do you feel your dog finds everything else within the world more exciting than you?
The first few months of your puppy's life are the most important for shaping their future behaviour.
The Puppy Home Starter journey begins with a phone call between our team and your family. This consultation is included as part of your package and allows us to get to know you, your lifestyle, and your expectations.
Once the phone consultation has been completed, we will arrange a convenient date to visit your home. During this visit, we'll help you prepare your home environment, offer tailored advice, and ensure everything is in place to give your puppy the very best start.
Living with a dog that displays unwanted behaviours can quickly become stressful and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to stay that way.
Designed to take both you and your dog through a structured learning journey, this course focuses on building strong foundations, improving focus, and developing essential gun dog skills step by step.
Give your puppy the best start with our newly enhanced puppy training classes, now offering multiple skill levels to suit every stage of development. Our program includes a comprehensive assessment to ensure your pup progresses confidently, and upon completion, they'll earn a certificate of achievement. Build a strong foundation in obedience, socialization, and good manners while setting your puppy up for lifelong success!
On completion of the foundation level you will move to level 1 if you wish to continue on with your training journey.
A well-trained dog should be able to remain calm, focused, and under control around livestock. Our 5-Part Livestock Neutrality Course has been designed to safely introduce dogs to sheep horses, birds and other farm animals, helping them develop confidence, self-control, and appropriate behaviour in a controlled environment. Through progressive training sessions, you’ll learn how to manage your dog’s instincts, improve engagement, and build reliable obedience around real-life distractions. It’s not just about better training, it’s also about responsible dog ownership. Under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act, owners can face serious consequences if their dog worries or attacks livestock, including prosecution, significant fines, and in severe cases, the dog may be seized or even euthanised. This course gives you the skills and confidence to help ensure your dog can safely coexist around livestock while protecting both your dog and the animals it encounters.
