What’s included in Puppy Platinum?
Over 24 hrs of face to face 1-2-1 training, plus so much more for you and your puppy V.I.P
Puppy – 6 Months:
- Platinum Puppy Gift Box
- Pre-Puppy, or New Puppy session via Zoom – Get a plan together before puppy comes home! All the initial questions; what to expect? Where will puppy sleep? What to do in the first few days? Toilet training? We can discuss planning puppy’s journey home from the breeder, setting up puppy’s own area within your home, and loads more!
- Access to our online puppy quick start resources area on the website
- 1x initial in home session – settling pup in, cracking on with toilet training, building a relationship, settling in with resident pets, getting a plan together so all the family can be involved
- 4x one to one follow up sessions – in home or environmental. These sessions are tailored to your life and your puppy, and might cover training such as settling while food is prepared, being comfortable alone, essential foundation training skills, walking in the neighbourhood, travelling in a vehicle, grooming, park visits, and many other possibilities.
- 1x Midweek Puppy sitting session (3hr max) , so you can have a meal out or go to the cinema!
- 1x half day Day School – This is a 3hr one-to-one session, tailored to your needs; whether you want to spend a morning around the house, go out on a trip around town, visit an environment where you and your pup are likely to spend time like work or family, we can make it work! The half day session will give us time to do this.
Adolescence can be a particularly challenging time for some dogs as they go through many physiological changes through this stage that can impact on their behaviour. We understand how hard this can be to both owner and dog, so with the Puppy Platinum package you have regular support continuing as those hormones kick in, to keep everyone on track for the future.
6-12 Months
- 6x monthly in home or environmental sessions – These sessions are for working on the skills that will help you and your dog feel comfortable and enjoy life together, in the environments you intend to go to. We can also look at some fun activities you and your dog can participate in together such as Scent detection, tracking & trailing, or other sports foundations, restricted exercise games in case they’re ever needed, body handling & husbandry/grooming behaviour, tricks; it really is a very long list!
- 1x half day Day School – Another 3hr one-to-one training session, this can be taken as 2x shorter sessions if preferred.
- 1x Intro to Scent or Tracking session
All of this, plus a catch up session at 18 months, to make sure everything is still on track.
This package includes over 25 hrs of in-person training time. It is designed to be extremely customisable to suit you and your dog. Where your pup needs shorter sessions, you will never lose your time, instead, you will be offered extra sessions for the remaining time. Sessions can be taken as 1-2-1 sessions, Home-train/PT sessions or Training Walks & trips, or whatever works best for you and your pup to get to where you need to be together.
The package also includes:
- Whatsapp support (within business hours) to answer any questions, or help with any puppy related problems you maybe having in between sessions.
- Free space on our Puppy Smart or Puppy confidence or Star Awards class, and discounts on Scentwork and follow-up sessions.
