Dog Training At Wiggle-Waggles

Great puppy training can start before your puppy even arrives.

Our pre-puppy arrival sessions help you prepare your home, family and routine so that your puppy's first experiences are as positive and straightforward as possible. We'll help you think through your home environment and set-up, including where your puppy will sleep and settle, safe spaces, puppy-proofing, feeding areas, toileting arrangements, toys and enrichment, and how to introduce boundaries without creating unnecessary frustration.

We'll also help you plan those important first few days and weeks — from settling in and sleeping through the night to toilet training, being left alone gradually, handling, biting and chewing, introductions to children or other pets, and beginning positive exposure to the sights, sounds and experiences your puppy will encounter in everyday life.

Crucially, we'll help you set things up to prevent problems rather than waiting for them to develop. You'll have a practical plan in place before your puppy walks through the door, so everyone in the household knows what to do from day one.

And because Wiggle-Waggles can continue supporting your puppy through training, puppy grooming, walking and daycare, that early plan can develop with them as they grow.

Give your puppy the best possible start.

We can help with:

• Recall

• Lead walking

• Settling and calmness

• Handling

• Confidence building

• Socialisation

• Focus around distractions

• Preparing for grooming, vets and everyday handling

• Understanding puppy behaviour

Our emphasis is on creating a confident dog who understands the world around them — not simply teaching a list of commands.

Sometimes you don't need a six-week course. You just need help with the things that make everyday life difficult.

We can work on:

• Recall

• Loose-lead walking

• Jumping up

• Calm greetings

• Focus around other dogs

• Settling in cafés, pubs and public places

• Door manners

• Handling and cooperative care

• Building confidence

• General manners and life skills

Tell us what's making life difficult and we'll work on it together.

Training can be much easier when we work with your dog in the places where the behaviour actually happens.

Our training walks can focus on skills including:

Recall • Loose-lead walking • Engagement • Calmness • Confidence • Focus around distractions

We'll work with your dog and show you techniques you can continue using at home.

One of the advantages of training with Wiggle-Waggles is that your dog's learning doesn't have to stop when the formal training session ends.

Because we also provide daycare and dog walking, we can build your dog's training into their everyday routine and give them opportunities to practise their new skills in real-life situations.

Your dog can spend time with us in daycare, where our team can reinforce the skills and behaviours you're working on. Or, with the support of our dog-walking team, we can take your dog on training-focused walks without you needing to be there — practising things such as recall, loose-lead walking, engagement, calmness around other dogs and responding to distractions.

This provides a really useful bridge between a formal one-to-one session with a trainer and a standard dog walk. Once your trainer has established what your dog needs to work on and how it should be approached, our wider team can help provide the repetition, consistency and real-world practice that helps those skills become part of everyday life.

It also gives you a more affordable way of continuing your dog's training between formal sessions — while your dog gets their exercise, enrichment and social time at the same time.

Formal training → Supported practice → Everyday life

That's one of the benefits of having training, daycare and dog walking all under one roof.
