Helping You Raise a Happy, Confident Puppy

Those early weeks with a new puppy can be exciting - and exhausting. From nipping and pulling on the lead to restless nights and uncertainty about what’s “normal,” it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where expert, compassionate guidance makes all the difference. As a Member of the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter and an Accredited Canine Behaviourist & Trainer (ACB-KSA, PCT-A) you can feel confident that your puppy’s training is in safe, professional hands.

Each programme focuses on building key life skills - like loose lead walking, reliable recall, calm settling, confidence building, and positive socialisation - so you can enjoy calmer, happier days together. Using kind, reward-based methods, we help you understand your puppy’s behaviour and teach them in a way that nurtures trust, confidence, and lasting good habits.

Trusted by puppy parents

  • "The visit at her paddock was great. It's a nice open space for dogs to explore and suitable for many types of training. Viv uses positive reinforcement techniques which have proved to be very effective with our puppy."

    John Garcia

  • "Couldn’t recommend Viv more! We have two Miniature Dachshunds, our youngest has been doing puppy classes and is thriving. She’s also been helping us with our other Dachshund who’s very nervous to gain confidence and ease his reactivity."

    Katy Hill

  • "Viv has been absolutely fantastic for us and our pup. She really helped us calm our anxious pup and improve our engagement and understanding of her needs. She was very patient and highly adaptive when things weren't going quite to plan."

    Craig Tristram

  • "Viv really offers such great advice and helps to understand how a dog thinks and therefore behaves. The practice sessions are also invaluable so you can then take away and practice. Highly recommended."
