A SUPPORTED START FOR THE FOUNDATION STAGE

The early months can feel like a lot. Puppy Essentials gives you a clear, supported route through the foundation stage, with practical help at home, personalised one-to-one training, and ongoing guidance as your puppy grows.

It’s designed for owners who want more than a one-off session, but don’t need the full first-year progression included in the Complete Puppy Pathway.

IS PUPPY ESSENTIALS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Puppy Essentials is designed for owners who want a supported start and strong foundations during puppyhood, without committing to the full first-year pathway.

THIS PATHWAY MAY SUIT YOU IF…

  • Your puppy is joining you at a young age and you want support from the start
  •  You’d value a home visit to help with the early settling-in period 
  • You want personalised one-to-one training rather than a group course 
  • You want help building calmness, confidence, focus, disengagement, and everyday life skills 
  • You’d like online learning and support between sessions 
  • You don’t currently need the adolescent progression stage included in Complete Puppy Pathway

TIMING AND SUITABILITY

  • Puppy Essentials is intended as an early-start pathway. The standard route is for puppies enrolling before 12 weeks, with newly rehomed puppies considered up to 20 weeks where appropriate. The Puppy Kickstart should normally take place within seven days of your puppy arriving home.
