Puppy HomeStart — Expert Science-Backed Support for Your Puppy’s First Weeks

Puppy HomeStart is your complete roadmap through those very early days of puppyhood — the time that truly sets the stage for a confident, calm, and emotionally resilient dog.

Whether you’re bringing home your first puppy or adding another to your family, those first few weeks matter more than you might realise. Puppy HomeStart combines practical, hands-on coaching with proven, science-backed puppy behaviour strategies to help you prevent problems before they start — not just fix them later.

The early days set the stage for a lifetime - make sure it’s done right

Whether you’re bringing home your first puppy or adding a new member to a household with existing dogs, those first days set the tone for the rest of your dog’s life. Maybe your previous dog didn’t turn out quite how you hoped. Maybe you’ve read everything online but it all contradicts itself. Or maybe you just want to get it absolutely right this time.​ That’s where Puppy HomeStart comes in. Think of me as your personal puppy Supernanny - guiding you every step of the way with hands-on, practical support, grounded in the latest science. I’ll help you prevent the mistakes that can turn into long-term behavioural issues, and give you the confidence to raise a confident, well-rounded, emotionally resilient puppy. ​No guesswork. No conflicting advice. No “winging it” and hoping it works. Just clear, step-by-step guidance so you and your puppy start off on the best possible footing - and stay there.

Puppy Home Start isn't about obedience training, it's emotional development​.

This is the foundation that prevents behaviour problems from developing. Obedience can come later. The first few weeks of home life are about building emotional resilience, confidence, and calm. And the most confident, well-behaved dogs are the ones who feel safe, connected, and understood.

Because no one wants a puppy they can’t leave alone for five minutes, chews on your skirting boards, or leaves you looking like a pin cushion. I’ll help you avoid the chaos and confusion - so you can enjoy cuddles, walks, and the adorable puppy moments without the stress.

When you book Puppy HomeStart, you’re not just getting training - you’re getting a step-by-step, science-backed plan to raise a confident, well-rounded, emotionally resilient puppy.

​

Choose between three levels of support

​

1. Puppy HomeStart Pro package:

Think of this package as having your own personal puppy super nanny, guiding you from day one.

Here's what's included: ​​​

1. A consultation that lasts 1.5 hours in your home where we discuss a range of topics including:​​

  • Learn how to read your puppy's body language so you know how they are feeling

  • Teaching bite inhibition first, then stopping mouthing altogether

  • Prevent attention-seeking barking before it becomes a habit

  • Toilet training from day one, so accidents indoors are minimised

  • Socialising your puppy safely without overwhelming them

  • Creating a predictable routine for feeding, play, sleep, and training to meet your puppy’s physical, emotional, and mental needs

  • Chew-toy training: why it’s essential

  • Raising a well-behaved adult dog—not just an obedient one

  • How to handle guests arriving (hint: it’s probably not what you expect!)

  • Stopping your puppy picking up everything on walks — and what to do if they do

  • Building emotional resilience in your puppy

​​

This session combines practical guidance with the latest science in puppy behaviour, giving you the confidence to get it right from the very start.

​

2. Followed by 2 x guided walks (40 minute 'on-lead' street walk at your home and then a 20 minute 'off-lead' walk in your nearest park) to:

  • Introduce the harness and lead the right way

  • Prepare properly before heading out the door

  • Recognise signs of stress and prevent frustration or anxiety

  • Use rewards effectively to encourage appropriate behaviour and reduce unwanted behaviours

  • Build focus and engagement in the face of distractions

  • Prevent reactivity by teaching new skills early

​​

These walks turn theory into action, giving you real-world experience with expert guidance so your puppy learns the right habits from the start.

​​

3. Puppy HomeStart E-guide Book

When you book Puppy Home Start, you’ll also receive my Puppy HomeStart eGuide — a 167-page digital guide packed with practical, easy-to-follow advice you can return to again and again. Think of it like your bible for early puppyhood - packed full of top tips, with training broken down into easy to follow steps and troubleshooting for common puppy problems so you get it right from day one, this guide makes everything easy to follow and even easier to share with partners or family members so everyone is working from the same plan.

 

4. Ongoing remote support

  • Remote support via WhatsApp or email after your consultation, so you can check in daily with questions or updates and keep on track.

  • A final follow-up week of support after your last walk, to make sure everything is settling in smoothly.​

 

Please note: The two walks need to booked within 4 weeks of the initial 1:1 session.
