Why is early puppy training so important ? Once you’ve chosen the right puppy for you, it is vital that you start training and socialising your puppy immediately.  This is because the first 4 months are without a doubt the most important weeks of your puppy's life. This is known as the critical period...Every single thing your puppy sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes in those first 16 weeks they will remember for life.

Much of what is learned during this early period is lasting, providing a foundation for many adult behaviour patterns and problems good and bad. A puppy who is properly socialised in this period will more than likely grow up to be well balanced, confident, calm and be less likely to respond to new things fearfully or aggressively. In contrast, a puppy who has not had this good start in life is more likely to be over-reactive, fearful, slower at learning and develop preventable behaviour problems.

Breaking tradition...The most traditional way would be waiting until your puppy is fully vaccinated normally after 12/13 weeks and then attending puppy training classes. But unfortunately the majority of the time, your puppy will be maybe missing out. They are going to be with you for a long time, so it's worth making the investment now. Training your puppy from the very start is one of the most important gifts you can give your puppy.

Why choose my personalised tuition ?...Owning a puppy is not always easy and knowing “what is the right thing to do” can be very challenging. Especially with all of the advice and mixed messages out there. If you knew what to do from the start, and had proper support, then things would be a lot smoother. With this in mind I have created Two specific puppy programs called Puppy Tuition One and Puppy Plus, that will equip you and your family with the essential skills and, knowledge on how to raise your puppy. This special tuition creates clear lines of communication that will help your puppy to develop in a positive way.

Highly recommended puppy training

"We contacted Sue to help us with our new cockapoo puppy, Harry. We had two sessions with her which provided an immense amount of useful advice and assistance from how to deal with teething to socialising with other dogs to walking him off his lead. Harry was immediately comfortable with Sue and reacted to her training methods perfectly. By the time she left us on her first visit he was sitting and staying whilst the front door was opened. An amazing amount of progress ! We would recommend Sue to any new puppy owners."

Susanne and family 12 Week Cockapoo, Littlehampton.

"Sue helped us straight from the beginning.  We asked her for her advice on getting a family dog,  as we have never owned a dog previously and have two small children.  She guided us on a practical level and with her extensive knowledge of dogs was  able to help us short list.  We now have a wonderful Miniature Australian Labradoodle called Wellington. She was wonderful teaching our two little ones to be in command of Wellington, which has been lovely to see.  She warned us when Wellington would start teething, what his behaviour would be like through his first 6 months. Due to this he has turned out to be a fantastic, calm little puppy. I still call her if I have any problems, which is very rare. She has been an amazing trainer and I would highly recommend her."

Andy 10 week Labradoodle, Hove East Sussex.

"Sue from Dogs in line was great when we needed help in training our new Labrador puppy, Honey. She told us what to expect when and lots of tips on managing the teething, puppy excitement and training so that she fitted in with our family. Sue was great with our youngest son (age 6) who was terrified of dogs and she gave him strategies to deal with Honey in day to day life. These worked and within a couple of weeks he was confident and in charge! Sue also helped with lead walking and letting her off the lead for the first time on walks and we would recommend her to anyone needing help with their new puppy."

Honey and Hannah, Hayward's Heath

"We contacted Sue last year to help us find the right family puppy for us.  We now have Rusty - red Cockerpoo.  He is everything we hoped to have and more.  Without Sue’s wealth of knowledge and experience, we would not have had such a successful outcome.  From the start, she gave us confidence and has been an unerring source of support, advice and warm good humour.  We cannot thank her enough.  She is full of good common sense and kindness, and clearly has a gift for understanding dogs and their behaviour - good and bad.  We had had dogs before, but much is forgotten about the early months of a puppy’s life, so having Sue at hand was much like have our own walking encyclopaedia and we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have her still at the end of a phone line."

Rusty and Vannessa, Hassock's
