SitDropStay
Puppy Training
In-home and private puppy training tailored to you! Let us educate and empower you to raise a dog you can be proud of.
Our puppy consults are designed for puppies up to six months of age and are the perfect foundation to build upon. Get the whole family involved at a time that suits you.
Welcome to the wonderful world of puppy ownership!
At SitDropStay Puppy Training we believe your new puppy requires a mixture of leadership, love, affection, play, stimulation and socialisation, as well as clear boundaries and rules to grow into a happy, calm and balanced adult. Your own behaviour over the next few months and how you manage the environment is critical to both your puppy’s development and your relationship with them.
Here's how it works
After the initial contact, your local SitDropStay behaviour specialist will organise to come to your home at a time that suits you, including weekends and after hours. They will then observe you interacting with your pup, listen to what you want and work out what needs to happen. Together you will create a puppy training plan based on your puppy’s individual personality traits, breed, habits and temperament. Seeing you in your home environment allows your trainer to personalise your training and factor in your routine, lifestyle, other family members/pets, personal preferences and owner experience. Full phone and email support is included from your first session.
