Fun Puppy Training

Capture those early, smile producing memories with 4-6 weekly games allowing you to train manners and good behaviours.
These games also create small challenges for you to really accelerate your success and training skills.
Think outside the box - no more boring "sit Fido" training.

Worried about socialisation?

Even though you cant mix with others. Don't panic!
Each week we guide you on a special field trip with your puppy.
Learn how to safely socialise your unvaccinated puppy - no more waiting for those vaccinations to be complete.
Introduce your puppy to the world, safely and positively creating awesome experiences so you can take them anywhere.

Do you want a tired puppy?

Our weekly challenges are great if you have children who want to get involved.
We use enrichment to create separation times, allowing your puppy to settle by draining their mental and physical buckets.
Accelerate your puppys’ brain grow rate through problem solving, frustration tolerance and use of breed specific outlets.

Learn about Problem Prevention

Our weekly problem prevention games give you positive solutions to common problems; jumping up, stealing and chewing.
Learn how to be proactive instead of reactive to those things you don’t want your puppy to do.
Get the whole family being consistent.
Let your puppy think and make great choices for themselves.

Training Puppy Parents

Training you, the owner, is as important as training your puppy.
Learn all about how puppies learn (take a peak at the video below), methods of training and all about development.
Refine your skills through our short, fun tasks.

What people say about Puppy Power

"Absolutely brilliant! This took me, a middle aged experienced dog owner of old and showed me new ways of breaking down modern training techniques to help my dog master all the basic skills needed to be a well behaved, sociable and relaxed dog. They helped me understand how to read the body language of my dog and identify things I could tweak in my own behaviours to help my dog progress. I can personally and highly recommend them for all things puppy"

- Abbe, Puppy Parent

"I would definitely recommend Talk to the Paw’s course to ALL new puppy owners - you owe it to your puppy to teach them how to be well behaved - it makes life with them more enjoyable!

- Charlie, Dad to Bruno
