One to One Puppy Training
Start your puppy right, and skip the problems that are so much harder to fix later.
This is for new puppy owners who want to get the foundations right the first time, at home, with a plan built around their actual puppy. Toilet training, biting, settling, walking nicely, coming back when called, coping calmly when life gets busy.
It is not for owners looking for a one off quick fix. This is hands on work over several weeks, with you fully involved between sessions. That is exactly why it works.
dealing with puppy chaos?
A new puppy is joy and chaos in the same small body. The needle teeth, the puddles, the broken sleep, the sense that everyone online has an opinion and none of them agree. It is easy to feel like you are improvising and hoping for the best.
The hard truth is that the habits forming now are the ones you live with for years. The nipping that is cute at twelve weeks is not cute at twelve months. Getting this stretch right is the difference between a settled adult dog and a long, expensive road of undoing.
The transformation
A puppy who sleeps through, settles when you need to get on with your day, walks without turning the lead into a tug of war, and comes back when you call. A puppy who meets the world with confidence instead of fear. And you, calm and clear, knowing what to do rather than guessing.
What is included, and what it does for you
- In person sessions in your own home, so your puppy learns exactly where the real life happens.
- The Puppy Spellbook and a training clicker, so you have the method in your hands from day one.
- Weekly worksheets with goals set for your puppy, so you always know what to practise and why.
- WhatsApp support between sessions, including video critique, so small wobbles get sorted before they become habits.
- A fully personalised training plan to keep after the sessions end, with your puppy's own goals explained: why they matter, the steps to take, how to troubleshoot, and how to keep progressing.
- A graduation certificate and photos to mark how far the two of you have come.
The approach and why it works
Everything is built around confidence, calmness and connection. Your puppy learns through kind, modern methods that build trust rather than fear. You learn to read them, so you are not just following steps, you understand what is happening and why. Small goals, steady progress, real life results.

“We worked with Lydia on her 1-1 puppy training with our Rottweiler Ernie. Lydia was so supportive and took the time to understand Ernie and what he needs most. She was able to show us how to properly use training techniques like a clicker and how to make training fun and engaging. Ernie has come such a long way with Lydia and it gave us great foundations to build on. Lydia regularly checked in and we could reach out with questions. Would definitely recommend Lydia to work with your dog!”
FAQs
My puppy is a nightmare right now, what do I do?
That is the normal starting point, not a reason to wait. The earlier we start, the easier the whole thing becomes.
Will I have time to keep up with it?
The plan is built around your week, not a perfect one, and you have support between sessions so you are never left guessing.
What is the next step?
The call is free and there is no pressure. Tell me about your puppy and your home, and I will tell you honestly whether this is the right fit and what the best route looks like. If a class suits you better than one to one, I will say so.
