These first few weeks and months of puppy’s development are critical in establishing behaviour and temperament.
A-Z With Your New Puppy.
‘Getting a new puppy will be fun!’ they said…but now you’re having sleepless nights and tearing your hair out!
At Pawfection, we understand the importance of early learning and socialisation. The first few weeks and months of a puppy’s development are critical in establishing behaviour and temperament. This can be stressful and overwhelming, particularly for first-time owners.
For this reason, we have designed the Puppy ‘Life Skills’ Four-Lesson Package to help provide the best possible start on your exciting new journey of pet ownership. These practical-based sessions are ideal for those who in are in their first couple of weeks with a new puppy. (Or for those who are still awaiting completion on their puppy’s vaccinations and are unable to take part in our Puppy Playschool classes.)
Please contact us directly to schedule your Initial Visit to put a step-by-step plan in place and get off to the Pawfect start!

Puppy ‘Life Skills’ Four-Lesson Package – €440
- Initial Visit (on or before Puppy’s arrival): Run through everything you need to concentrate on in the first week. Focuses on getting into good routines/habits, building confidence, and gaining independence.
- 2nd Lesson – Start to incorporate little bits of training into everyday life. This includes good house manners, self-control exercises, and how prevent overexcitement when visitors call.
- 3rd/4th Lesson – Accompany you on walks to demonstrate the most appropriate ways of introducing Puppy to the world. ‘Socialisation’ is a buzz word you may have heard about, but a fine balance is necessary. You want Puppy to learn to be calm, attentive, and ‘anti-social’ (to begin with) so they first learn to see what is going on around them before letting them further interact with the world.
After the Initial Visit, subsequent Lessons are flexibly scheduled to suit your needs. Ongoing support is provided throughout the entire Plan. If you are ever in need of help in-between Lessons, just shout!
Clients Testimonials
I got Bailey from rescue, because of her background she can be very shy and wary of people and other dogs. Kevin was instrumental in giving me the skills to reduce and overcome her anxiety which has made both our lives so much easier. Cannot recommend Kevin highly enough – and would recommend him to anyone who has dogs with behavioural issues.
Kevin has worked wonders with my Cockerpoo Holly and I would recommend him to anyone.
A Fantastic trainer, we have seen huge improvements from our one to one sessions with Kevin. He has a very calm and relaxed demeanour which our Labrador Maxwell instantly connected with. Training was made simple and was enjoyable for us and our Dog.
Kevin is incredibly knowledgeable and patient in dog training. the classes are really enjoyable, practical and very comprehensive. He has helped us train our little pooch Benji and with consistency we got great results. Thanks Kevin
Kevin is very patient and dedicated. He didn't give up on Shadow even when we were disappointed with his running away and not answering to the recall training. Shadow is now moving on to the agility training and thanks to Kevin we will have too much more fun together.
Kevin was amazing with all the puppies in the class! He always checked in to make sure we understood everything and was great at demonstrating everything with each puppy in the class. He sent out great guides to help refresh your memory of the previous class and help you remember what to work on. My puppy Dobby was really bad for nipping and wasn’t a great listener, he’s now very attentive and comes whenever he’s called.
Kevin is fantastic at what he does! He is so knowledgeable and shares this knowledge in a calm and clear way. We got our first puppy in April this year. With Kevin’s help we went from slightly overwhelmed new puppy parents to calm and more confident after just one session. We started off with weekly sessions over Skype from our house and even did some sessions over video calls where we brought Walter for walks to practice lead training. We have now started in-person one to one sessions with Kevin. These early sessions in particular were invaluable, we and our puppy Walter benefited so much from these.
The classes really taught me how to manage my puppy when she’s misbehaving. Working from home is tricky when you’ve a puppy pulling the place apart. Things have improved a lot! She’s still not an angel but I think if you complete the class you take away a lot and you can keep practicing.
Kevin has been great to work with training our Rolo. We have had 3 sessions and even after the sessions were over he still continued to stay in contact. Kevin is great at what he does and gives great guidance. Rolo has come a long way and I would definitely recommend his training
