For puppies under 6 months—get help with the biting, the barking, the accidents… and everything in between.
This program is for real-life puppyhood—the nipping, the zoomies, the “what do I do now?” moments.
We’ll tackle the everyday challenges that come with raising a puppy, from potty training to leash walking and coming when called.
You’ll get support for the big stuff (like socialization and preventing future issues) and the little stuff that makes a big difference—like how to handle over-excitement, set up your home, and survive teething.

This one-time session is a chance to talk through what’s going on, explore the underlying causes, and outline a plan that feels doable for both you and your dog.
It’s not a commitment to a full program—just a place to begin. And for behaviour cases or big emotions, we start here.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what your dog needs, what kind of training and support will be most helpful, and whether we're the right fit to move forward together.
Many clients book this session first, then choose the Better Behaviour Program afterward.
