Your puppy training journey begins with a one-on-one Bumper Puppy Power 121 session in your home, accommodating the entire household, including children.
During this session, we address essential early challenges such as nipping, potty training, overnight sleeping and establishing household rules, along with providing numerous helpful tips based on years of experience.
After your first session, we can guide you on the appropriate next steps for further training and socialisation, which can include a 6 month or 12 month Development Package, or just one-off follow-ups.
We are unique in that we offer 121 Puppy Training, Behaviourists, and Group Classes (including very early socialisation).

Additionally, we will provide a wealth of helpful tips to support your training efforts. As a team of qualified behaviourists and trainers, our goal is to gain a deep understanding of both you and your canine companion.
This insight allows us to develop the most suitable training methods and a personalised action plan that sets you up for success in your training journey.
