Is life with your puppy
feeling harder than you expected?
Right now you may be feeling:
-
overwhelmed by the conflicting advice online
-
exhausted from the biting, broken sleep and constant decision making
-
worried that you are getting things wrong
If that sounds familiar, you are not doing anything wrong. You just might not have the right support.
Many owners reach this point while they are waiting for puppy classes to begin, hoping things will feel clearer once they start.
But waiting is not the only way to get the support you need.
One to one training can begin from the very start, helping you feel calmer and confident sooner.
4-months of guidance through puppyhood
My 4-month puppy coaching programme supports you through the early stages of your dog’s life.
Together we focus on the foundations that help your puppy grow into a confident dog who fits naturally into family life.
We:
-
build a routine that supports toilet training and reduces biting
-
help your puppy feel happy alone
-
introduce your puppy to the world in a way that builds confidence and makes walks enjoyable
-
encourage calm behaviour at home
During the programme you receive:
-
one-to-one training sessions tailored to you and your puppy
-
training in your home and out in "the real world"
-
digital guides covering the main puppy-raising topics
-
WhatsApp support so you always have a trainer in your pocket
By the end of the programme you will:
-
feel calm and confident when your puppy bites, barks, or jumps up
-
understand why your puppy behaves the way they do and know how to respond
-
have a routine that works for your whole family, not just your dog
-
enjoy walks, visitors, and everyday life without dreading what might happen next

One-to-one support can be a better fit when you want:
Mitch & Frodo
"We had a chaotic life with very little routine and getting a puppy only increased the chaos. After a few days we hired Emily and she was fantastic from day one. All in all it was great value for money and got us to a point where we can enjoy family life with our puppy."
Julie & Raya
"I have learnt so much and I couldn't have done it without her. My wonderful relationship with my now 10 month old is a testament to her support."
Jenny & Oat
"I wanted to set him up as best as possible to receive the care and training that HE needed rather than trying to slot into a generic group. Emily has been my rock. She has definitely helped make my first four months of puppy life easier and less overwhelming to navigate."
When I brought home my puppy Branston, I thought I had prepared for everything. I had read the books, listened to the podcasts, and spent hours absorbing advice online.
The moment I put him down on the floor, I froze. "What do I do with you now?"
I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted. The joy I had expected was buried under stress. And I know from speaking to hundreds of owners that I was not alone in that.
That experience is exactly why I do this work.
My approach goes beyond obedience. I focus on helping you understand why your puppy behaves the way they do, so you can make sense of what is happening and feel confident responding to it.
Every session is tailored to you, your puppy, and your home, because no two puppies or families are the same.
I am a student member of the Professional Association of Canine Trainers and hold Pet Business Insurance. I regularly invest in my own professional development to make sure the guidance I give you is grounded in current, evidence-based practice.
Frequently asked questions
Ready to get started?
If you are still feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure whether you are doing this right, you do not have to keep figuring it out alone.
The best next step is a short call. It is 30 minutes, informal, and there is no obligation at the end of it.
We will talk about what is going on with your puppy, what you are finding hardest, and whether working together makes sense for you. By the end you will have a clearer picture either way.
I work with a small number of families at a time so I can give each one the attention they need.
