Welcoming a new puppy is exciting, but if you’re searching for 121 Puppy Training in Coventry, it probably means things aren’t feeling quite as joyful as you’d hoped.
You might be wondering whether to comfort your crying puppy or leave them to settle on their own.
You knew puppies were mouthy, but didn’t expect to feel like you’re living with a land shark.
Or maybe you’re second-guessing everything from sleep routines and toilet training to how to handle biting, crying at night or accidents on the rug while trying to make sense of all the advice online. The good news? There’s a clear, kind way forward.
Maybe your puppy’s biting, crying at night, or peeing on the rug minutes after you’ve taken them out. Or maybe you’re just overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice online.
You’re not alone, and you’re absolutely not failing. I’m here to help you feel confident, supported, and clear on what to do next — with kind, proven training that works in the real world.
This isn’t just about teaching sit or toilet training. It’s about giving you the tools to raise a calm, confident dog who can cope with life — and giving you the confidence to enjoy puppyhood again.

Bringing a new puppy into your home is exciting, but it can also feel chaotic — especially if you’re not sure how to get it right from the start. You might feel like your life’s been turned upside down and all you do is follow your puppy around, cleaning up accidents or trying to stop them biting everything in sight.
Whether you’ve had dogs before or are completely new to puppy life, I’ll help you make sense of it all with clear, kind, and science-based support tailored to you and your pup.
Through my 121 puppy training in Coventry, I’ll give you practical, real-life solutions to common struggles like toilet training, biting, crying at night, and overwhelming advice from the internet.
You’ll build a strong bond with your puppy, learn how to communicate clearly, and feel confident in handling challenges — all while using positive reinforcement techniques that make the time you spend together a joy.
My Dream Puppy Programme is designed to support you every step of the way — not just during our 121 sessions, but in between too. You’ll have WhatsApp access to me throughout, so it’s like having a trainer in your pocket when questions or wobbles come up.
I’ll help you understand the why behind your puppy’s behaviour — and give you the tools to change it.
Your puppy is learning from the moment they come home, so by starting your puppy training at home, we’ll be setting your new puppy up for success from the very beginning.
Toilet training routines that actually work, even if your puppy wees the minute you bring them back inside
Mouthing and biting — how to reduce those needle-sharp nips without damaging your bond
Crate training and sleep support, so everyone in the house can get some rest
Understanding your puppy’s emotions and why early support now prevents bigger problems later
Socialisation done right — including what not to do when introducing your puppy to the world
Handling over-excitement or overwhelm, especially in busy places or when children are involved
Nutrition advice to support behaviour, gut health, and overall wellbeing
Building confidence early — to help prevent separation anxiety as your puppy grows
Learning your puppy’s body language, play style, and stress signals
Creating calmness at home, so your puppy learns how to switch off as well as have fun
And because this is personalised 121 puppy training, I’ll tailor everything to your home, your lifestyle, and your puppy. No cookie-cutter advice here.
Book your free 20-minute breakthrough call and let’s set your puppy up for success from day one.
Not sure what to feed your puppy? You’re not alone puppy nutrition is one of the most common worries new owners have, and it’s something I often support clients with during our 121 sessions.
I’ve written a helpful blog called “What Should I Feed My Puppy?” to guide you through the basics.
You can also explore the All About Dog Food website to compare different brands, although it can feel a bit overwhelming, so don’t worry if it leaves you with more questions. I’m here to help make sense of it all.

We’ll start with a 90-minute Puppy Starter Session, where I’ll come to your home and help you get set up for success right from the beginning. Together, we’ll cover essentials like toilet training, crate settling, puppy biting, sleep routines, nutrition, and how to start socialising your puppy safely and calmly.
After your starter session, you’ll have the option of 2 or 4 follow-up sessions (approx. 45 minutes each), where we’ll continue to build on your puppy’s learning and introduce core life skills to prepare them for the real world.
Throughout the programme, you’ll also have WhatsApp access to me, so whether you’ve had a wobbly night or a breakthrough moment, you’ve got a trainer in your pocket who genuinely cares about your progress.
Because I work on a 121 basis in your home, everything we do is tailored to your puppy, your lifestyle, and your goals. No generic plans just kind, thoughtful training that works in real life.
When you’re ready to get started, just book a call and we’ll begin building your puppy’s bright future together.

The earlier you start, the better. Puppies are constantly learning from the moment they come home, so introducing positive habits early can help prevent unwanted behaviours from developing. Training is always tailored to your puppy’s age and stage of development.
Yes, puppy biting is completely normal. Puppies explore the world with their mouths, especially while teething. The key is teaching them appropriate ways to interact while helping them develop good habits from the start.
Pulling is one of the most common issues I help with. Rather than relying on corrections, I teach puppies to walk calmly through reward-based exercises, building focus, confidence and good habits that last into adulthood.
For the puppy programme, the first session focuses on the key foundations your puppy needs. This can include toilet training, crate training, confidence, biting and mouthing, socialisation and generalisation, developmental stages, body language, calmness, sleep, nutrition, chews and general obedience.
