Families Getting A New Dog

Are you wanting to introduce a new dog or puppy into the home, but you have kids and are wondering where to start with it all?

I know all too well that dog and child dynamics can be a source of frustration for parents. So let’s start out on a positive note. Families need specialised training tailor-made just for them.

I can help you with breed selection so you get a dog that is best suited for your kids and your lifestyle. If you have already selected the perfect puppy/dog for your family, I run an incredible 6 week program for families called the Family Dog Private Training program which is customised to get EVERYONE involved. You’ll get all the tools and support you need to get your kids on board, your dog in check and the whole family playing for the same team! It’s fun, effective and 100% positive! And if you don’t want the 6 week session, we can tailor something specifically for you and your family.

We can provide help with:

  • Deciding if now is the right time for you and your family to be getting a dog/puppy
  • Selecting the right dog for your family
  • What you need to do before the puppy comes home
  • Making life easier for all once the puppy comes home.
  • Trouble Shooting unwanted behaviours.

Services we offer:

1. The Family Dog Program – 6 in-home personal training sessions (this service includes the Peace Love kids Dog Online Program for FREE plus The Dial Method™ 4O min Video also FREE)

  • Learn how to care for a new puppy, how to meets its daily needs and ultimately have a beautiful understanding of the dog in front of you.

3. Individual Sessions to Trouble Shoot Unwanted Behaviours and Learn how to Understand your Dog/Puppy Better

  • “Behavioural problems” often stem from not meeting our dogs daily requirements or something in the environment that is not helping them to get it right.
  • Learn how to care for a new puppy/ dog, how to meets its daily needs and ultimately have a beautiful understanding of the dog in front of you.
  • If you don’t want the full 6 week program or your puppy/dog is already a bit older – we can still help! We can either offer a 4 pack of sessions for you or we can do individual consults – you can also then pair this with the Online Program too if you want.
