For puppies in need of a training top-up
Perfectly Polished Puppy
Has your pup graduated from puppy class, but you still feel there's room for improvement?
Or maybe you've been training them at home and it was going really well, but now a couple of new issues have cropped up?
I can help you take your pup's training and socialisation to the next level, as well as troubleshooting any little problems that arise along the way.
Dawn, Adam & Kevin
"Rosy makes training with your pup great fun. She is both resourceful and gentle in her training methods. If one way doesn’t work she has many more in her pocket! We have immensely enjoyed training Kevin and working with Rosy who has facilitated this enjoyment. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough."
What does the package involve?
-
Three 60-minute 1:1 training sessions where I will provide in-person coaching and demonstrations as well as answering all your puppy-related questions
-
The opportunity for at least one of these training sessions to be a socialisation session where we take your puppy out and about and I demonstrate some socialisation best practices
-
A comprehensive written training plan with clear step-by-step instructions on how to do the exercises so you can easily remind yourself of what to do and track your progress
-
Advice on preventing and managing common training issues that may crop up later, like loss of recall
-
Ongoing support via WhatsApp and email until your pup turns 6 months old or for 8 weeks after your final session, whichever comes later
-
No one-size-fits-all solutions - the training will be tailored to your unique puppy and their personality, with a view to teaching them the skills they need in order to fit in with your lifestyle
-
An in-depth, structured programme focused on building solid foundations so your puppy grows up to be a well-rounded adult dog you can take anywhere
-
Kind, ethical training methods focused on rewarding the behaviours we want rather than punishing the ones we don't
Not sure if it's for you?
I also offer a one-off taster package to give you an idea of how I work and the benefits my training can bring for you and your pup!
This includes a 1-hour in-person session plus a follow-up email with some resources to get you started. It does not include the two follow-up sessions or WhatsApp and email support (these are only available when you upgrade to a full package).

Perfectly Polished Puppy will be perfect for you if...
-
You are the owner of a puppy aged under 6 months and you want them to grow into a well-mannered dog who’s fun to be around
-
You’d like help with key life skills like lead walking, recall and relaxing in public but you want more convenience and personalised advice than you’d get in a class
-
You’ve heard you need to ‘socialise’ your pup, but you’re not sure how to go about it
-
You’re committed to teaching your puppy the skills they need using kind, force-free methods
-
You want to work with a qualified professional who will offer you compassionate and non-judgmental support
It won't be a great fit for dogs who...
-
Are over the age of 6 months
-
Are showing signs of severe behaviour issues, like separation anxiety
If this applies to your dog, see the FAQ below.

Start training!
You'll receive a confirmation email with details about the session and what you'll need (other than yourself and your dog!) so we can get cracking!
What methods do you use?
I only use kind, ethical training methods that focus on rewarding the behaviours we want and using management to prevent those that we don't.
All of my training is free of force and intimidation. I firmly believe that training based on punishment not only causes dogs unnecessary stress, but also damages the relationship between you and your dog.
What are the benefits of one–to-one training compared to puppy classes?
Classes are a great learning experience for dogs, and help teach them to focus on you even when there are exciting distractions around. However, classes aren’t for everyone - some puppy parents prefer to have more intensive, personalised support, and some puppies find them a difficult environment to learn in.
My puppy is aggressive/extremely fearful/'reactive'. Can you help?
Unfortunately I'm not taking on dogs with severe behavioural issues at the moment (but keep your eyes peeled for updates!) – I would advise that you seek the help of a clinical animal behaviourist (CAB); visit the ABTC website to find a CAB near you.
My dog is older than 6 months. Is this training suitable for them?
If your dog is over 6 months old, take a look at my other packages which focus on various training issues.
Where are you based?
I am based in Leamington Spa, but will travel up to 45 minutes for training sessions.
What happens if I’ve finished my package but I need more sessions?
Once you’ve come to the end of your package we’ll review your progress and you’ll have the option to book top-up sessions if necessary.
I’m not sure I want to commit to a full package - do you offer one-off sessions?
You can book a one-hour taster session for any of my packages (except Perfectly Imperfect Rescue Dogs) - just fill in the booking request form and select ‘Taster Session’ under ‘What service are you interested in?’. After the session you will also receive an email pointing you towards some useful resources.
