Puppy Training

Please Note: I am not taking on new clients

PuppyTraining_Top.jpg

Training for puppies up to 5 months of age.

Sessions can begin pre-vaccination, as soon as you bring your puppy home.

Training in-person, at home, or wherever you need training most.

Or opt for Zoom sessions - an effective alternative to in-person training.

Sessions are family friendly and children are welcome and encouraged to join in.

Sessions include training notes and practice exercises, so you can progress your training. Email support throughout your programme keeps you and your puppy on track.

Pre-puppy Session

1 x 60-minute session via Zoom €70

Hit the ground running with a 60-minute session covering everything you need to know, before you bring your puppy home.

“The best thing I ever did (asides from getting Rory) was to get in touch with Lesley before Rory arrived! That was two years ago and I can honestly say our lives as dog owners are better because of her.  Lesley is an absolute professional and her love of dogs is obvious.  She has an enormous amount of knowledge across all aspects of dog training and behaviour.  She goes beyond the call of duty in terms of providing support and is always at the end of a phone when needed.  Her encouragement when things go a bit pear-shaped has been vital to stop us from getting disheartened and ensure we stick with the programme. 

In my innocence I thought dog training was only to get through puppy phase, little did I know that training continues indefinitely.  I have learnt so much from Lesley in terms of both dog and human behaviour.  The training has been great fun for both me and my dog and the kick I get when Rory and I communicate well is second to none. 

Not only would I highly recommend Lesley, I would go as far as saying working with her is essential for anyone who wants to build a strong lasting relationship with their four legged companion.”
