Raising a puppy is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it also comes with challenges. Puppies are constantly learning, and without proper guidance, undesirable behaviours can develop quickly. Private Puppy Training provides focused, one-on-one support to teach obedience, build confidence, and create a foundation for a well-behaved adult dog.
At Master of Puppies, our training programs are designed to meet each puppy’s individual needs. By combining personalised lessons with the structure of Doggy Bootcamp and the continued support of Private Dog Training, puppies receive a complete and effective training journey.
Why Early Obedience Matters
Early training shapes a puppy’s habits, confidence, and understanding of boundaries. Puppies that learn obedience from the start are more likely to become calm, responsive, and socially well-adjusted adult dogs.
Private Puppy Training helps:
Prevent unwanted behaviours such as biting, jumping, or barking
Build trust and communication between puppy and owner
Encourage consistent routines for feeding, sleeping, and toilet training
Develop social skills and emotional resilience
Ensure long-term obedience and reliability
By addressing behaviour early, owners can avoid frustration and set the stage for a lifelong positive relationship.
What Is One-on-One Private Puppy Training?
Private Puppy Training is a personalised training method where a professional trainer works directly with your puppy and family. Unlike group classes, one-on-one sessions allow trainers to tailor lessons to your puppy’s learning pace, temperament, and individual needs.
One-on-one training is ideal for:
Puppies learning basic obedience
First-time dog owners seeking guidance
Puppies that are shy, excitable, or easily distracted
Families wanting training customised to their home and lifestyle
This personalised approach ensures that puppies learn in a supportive, low-stress environment.
Key Skills Taught in Early Obedience Training
1. Basic Commands
Puppies learn essential obedience commands including:
Sit
Stay
Come
Drop
Leave it
Place
These foundational commands create structure and help puppies understand expected behaviours.
2. Behaviour Management
Early training addresses common puppy behaviours such as:
Biting or nipping
Jumping on people
Chewing inappropriate items
Excessive barking
Correcting these behaviours early prevents them from becoming long-term problems.
3. Leash and Walking Skills
One-on-one training teaches puppies to walk politely on a leash without pulling or lunging.
4. Confidence and Socialisation
Puppies are gradually introduced to new environments, people, and other dogs, helping them develop resilience and social skills.
5. Calmness and Focus
Training exercises help puppies learn to settle, pay attention, and respond calmly in everyday situations.
