Why it helps
You want the best routine for you and your puppy. You want to know which toys are worth buying and what to do about the biting. It’s a lot to work out on your own, and the first few weeks set habits that stick.
We’ll go through how to prepare yourself and your home, how to arrange your routine, how to start toilet training, what you actually need to buy, how to socialise your puppy well and what training comes next.

Head Start Dog Training was perfect for me and my dog. As a first time dog owner, I needed as much training as he did. I’m absolutely delighted with our progress.
You’ll be training with me, Katya
I left my office job to follow my passion, and now I train dogs and their people in Edinburgh. I only use reward-based training, because it makes learning fun for you and your dog.
And then there’s Steve, my ruby Cavalier. Head Start wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for him.
