From the moment your puppy comes home, we’re here to help you build the right habits from the very start. Our Puppy 1-2-1 Support offers tailored guidance with everything from settling in and routines to toilet training, mouthing, sleep, and confidence building.
Perfect for puppies before vaccinations are complete, or for owners wanting more personalised support, these sessions are designed around your puppy, your lifestyle, and the challenges that matter most to you - giving you practical guidance and reassurance during the most important stage of development.

REAL RESULTS FROM REAL OWNERS
I am so glad we found Ally's training classes. She and her team have been so supportive and patient through the 5 week puppy course. Extremely helpful and manageable tips that make all training feel doable! I can thoroughly recommend Paws & Progress for dog training at any age!

We have just finished a five week course with Ally for our eight month old Spaniel, Martha. The classes are very small and Ally teaches using positive methods in a very settled and relaxed manner. This along with the socialising has helped Martha enormously. We will definitely be booking the Improver/Intermediate Course in the near future!
