Puppy Training Programmes in Norfolk
Structured puppy training programmes designed to help your puppy grow into a calm, confident and well-socialised companion — not just in sessions, but in the real world.
Helping You Raise a Happy, Confident Puppy
Those early weeks with a new puppy can be exciting - but they can also feel overwhelming. From nipping and pulling on the lead to restless nights and wondering what’s “normal,” many new owners quickly realise that raising a puppy comes with its challenges.
That’s where calm, expert 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 and development are in safe, professional hands.
Each programme focuses on building the real-life skills that matter most — including loose lead walking, reliable recall, calm settling, emotional regulation, confidence building and thoughtful socialisation.
Rather than rushing through cues, we prioritise helping your puppy learn how to feel safe, regulated and able to cope in everyday environments. Sessions begin in supportive spaces and gradually move into real-world settings, so the learning is practical, meaningful and sustainable.
Many new owners assume that puppy training means attending a group class so their puppy can “socialise.” But thoughtful socialisation isn’t about interacting or playing with every dog they meet. It’s about helping your puppy feel safe, regulated and able to navigate new environments with confidence. One-to-one training allows us to introduce experiences thoughtfully and progress at the right pace for your puppy, rather than expecting them to cope in a busy group setting before they are ready. This personalised approach offers a more thoughtful and supportive alternative to traditional puppy classes, allowing your puppy’s development to be supported and guided at the right pace from the very beginning.

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
