Imagine knowing you're getting it right
Bringing home a puppy should be exciting.
But between the biting, toilet training, sleepless nights, lead walking, recall, settling and the constant worry that you might be getting something wrong, those first few months can quickly become overwhelming.
And the things your puppy learns now can shape their behaviour for years to come.
That's why I've created my Elite Puppy Behaviour & Training Programme: personalised, expert support to help you understand your individual puppy, prevent problems before they become established, and give you the confidence and practical skills to get puppyhood right from the beginning.
"Getting puppyhood right is one of the wisest investments you'll ever make, for your puppy, your family and your future together.
It can also save thousands in remedial training, behaviour therapy and heartache later on."
A completely personalised programme for you and your puppy
No two puppies are the same. Their breed, temperament, experiences, environment and family life all influence how they learn and behave. So rather than following a generic puppy training programme, we'll work with your puppy, in your home, around your real life.
First, we'll meet online
Your programme begins with a relaxed 45 minute Zoom consultation. Whether your puppy is already home or you're eagerly awaiting their arrival, we'll talk about your puppy, your family, your lifestyle and what you'd most like help with.
Together we'll create a personalised plan to give your puppy the best possible start. You'll also receive my exclusive Above & Beyond Puppy Shopping Guide so you can get prepared before we even meet.
Then I'll come to you
We'll then have either two or four private 60 minute coaching sessions in your home, depending on your chosen package, tailored completely to your puppy and your family's needs. Because we're working in your home, we can address behaviour where it actually happens rather than trying to recreate real life in a training class.
We can work on the things that actually matter in everyday life, including:
- Puppy biting
- Settling calmly
- Loose lead walking
- Recall
- Everyday manners
- Confidence
- Emotional resilience
- Preventing unwanted behaviours

Why work with me?
There are plenty of excellent puppy trainers.
But I'm not just a trainer. I'm one of the UK's most experienced Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourists, with more than 35 years' experience helping dogs with behavioural challenges ranging from fear and anxiety to frustration and aggression.
That experience changes the way I look at your puppy. I'm not simply looking at whether they can perform an exercise. I'm constantly assessing why they're behaving as they are, spotting subtle signs and recognising behaviours that could potentially develop into bigger problems later.
Every exercise, interaction and game has a purpose. Together we'll develop the practical skills every puppy needs while nurturing confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.
The goal isn't simply a puppy who is "well trained". It's a confident, happy dog who is genuinely lovely to live with.
This programme is perfect if...
- ✓You've recently welcomed a puppy into your family or you're preparing for their arrival
- ✓You want to get things right from the beginning rather than waiting for problems to appear
- ✓You'd prefer individual expert attention to a generic puppy class, which many puppies (and people) find stressful
- ✓You want training that works around your puppy, family and lifestyle
- ✓You want the reassurance of having one of the UK's most experienced behaviourists supporting you through those crucial early months
From puppies who got it right from the start
"Brilliant course as always with Sarah! Easy and clear with lots of learning. Very much appreciated that everything is delivered in bite-size sessions."
"I just completed the 10 Day Dog Watch Course and it was fantastic! I loved that the videos were bite sized and offered the opportunity for me to watch and see what I noticed before you provided your commentary."
