Puppy Talk!

With Sarah Whitehead, Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist


So, you have a new puppy!

And you have already discovered that he or she doesn't understand the word, "No!"

In fact, you seem to be having all kinds of miscommunications, which - although you love and adore the little smarty pants - is a bit frustrating!

Being able to observe, understand and respond to your puppy in a way that he or she understands, will not only make your training easier, it will build a lifetime of trust and good communication between you. 

It means you will be able to: 

  • Be your dog's safe place
  • Encourage the behaviours you like (while diminishing those you don't)
  • Know when he or she is feeling stressed or unhappy, to prevent escalation of defensive behaviour
  • Learn the subtle signs that tell you if your puppy is happy to interact with people
  • Understand your puppy's needs, so you can truly be his or her best friend

This Programme is structured to be straight-forward, fast and fun!

  • 12 easy-to-follow lessons, focusing on the areas that cause most miscommunication! 


  • Photos and video tutorials that demonstrate clearly what to look for, so you can match what you see in the video to your own pupster.


  • Written information, tips and hints to enhance your training and your relationship with your pup.
