Puppy Training

 

Giving Your Puppy the Best Start in Life

Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but those sharp teeth, toilet accidents, and endless energy can feel overwhelming. Early training is the key to building good habits from the start, helping your pup grow into a confident, well-mannered family member. Puppy training at Wagging School is designed to set both you and your pup up for success.

Building Skills, Confidence and Connection

Our puppy program runs across 4 sessions, spaced to suit your lifestyle and give you time to practice in between. We’ll cover the essentials: toilet training, bite inhibition, recall, lead manners, and basic obedience commands. Just as importantly, we focus on socialisation and confidence-building — so your puppy learns how to explore the world calmly and happily.

A big part of our method is reward marker training, which teaches your puppy to clearly understand what earns rewards. Using markers like “Yes!” (exciting — come to me for a reward) and “Good” (calm — stay in place for your reward), we make learning crystal clear while laying the foundations for recall, stay, and patience.

What to Expect

Each lesson is hands-on, with Floss demonstrating techniques and guiding you as you practice. Between sessions, you’ll have clear, simple exercises to keep progress on track. Most families see their puppy master the basics and build a strong foundation for future training. And if you ever feel stuck, Floss is just a message away with advice and support.

Puppy training isn’t just about obedience — it’s about shaping a confident, happy dog and setting you both up for a great life together.
