one to one puppy and adolescent dog training classes in and around crawley
Whilst early training is essential for all new puppy owners, group classes don’t suit everyone. If you’re keen to get your puppy’s training off to the best start but can’t commit to group classes or would like more personal support, then private puppy or teen classes are a great alternative.

Private Classes are the perfect choice for:
Puppies who haven’t had all their vaccinations, so can’t join group classes yet.
Shift workers who can’t commit to classes at the same time each week.
Those with work or family commitments whose lives don’t fit in with puppy class times.
People who can’t travel to puppy classes and would like training in their own home.
First time puppy owners who would like a bit more help than group classes can provide.
Older puppies who are too old to join group puppy classes.
Rescue puppies who may be more sensitive and need some more personal support.
Practical support where you need it, like in your home, garden, on walks or other public places.

“We’ve had an amazing experience with our puppy trainer, Jenny! From day one, she’s been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. She taught us how to walk our puppy on a leash and provide guidance on how to deal with certain situations, and her guidance on recall, sit, and stay training has made a huge difference. Jenny’s calm, clear approach has really helped us build confidence as first-time dog owners. We highly recommend her to anyone new to having a dog—she’s been fantastic!”

happy puppy personal classes
During our personal puppy classes, we will cover the same content that I teach in my group puppy classes. This includes learning to settle, recall, loose lead walking, sit and down positions, focus and impulse control, among other things.
However the great thing about one to one training is that we can tailor each session to cover exactly what it is you need help with. So in addition to all of the above, we can also work on toilet training, biting, playing nicely, sleep and daily routine, meeting other dogs and people, interactions with children and other pets, handling and grooming, understanding body language and more.
As well as being able to choose what we focus on, you can also choose where we do the training. Usually we’ll start with the first session at your home, but I can join you on a walk, take your puppy to a cafe to work on socialisation and settle or even go to a secure field where we can practise recall. As long as it’s safe and legal, the choice is yours!
what’s included
Five 45 minute individual training sessions at a location of your choice.
A welcome booklet including tips for new puppy owners, local recommendations and places to record your progress.
Access to my exclusive online puppy classes, with video demos and step by step guides to everything we cover.
Access to step by step guides and video demos you can refer back to at any time.
WhatsApp and email support between classes to help you cope with all the usual puppy problems such as biting, toilet training and getting a good nights’ sleep.
happy teen personal classes - £175
My personal teen classes are specifically aimed at adolescent dogs who might be having a tricky time around other dogs or seem like they are starting to push the boundaries.
What’s wonderful about one to one training is that we can cover the things that you and your dog are struggling with the most. This can include basic training like learning to settle, recall and loose lead walking. But we can also cover the things that teenage dogs often need a bit more help with, like impulse control, focus and engagement with you, confidence building and new skills that build on any training they have already done.
Because the sessions are bespoke for you, we can hold them wherever will be the most helpful. I will usually come to you for the first session, but after that we can take our training out on walks in public, to a private secure field or to the hall where I run my group classes, wherever is going to be the most appropriate.
what’s included
Five 45 minute individual training sessions at a location of your choice.
Access to step by step guides and video demos you can refer back to at any time.
WhatsApp and email support between classes to help you troubleshoot any problems and get the most out of your training practise between sessions.

-
first session
During the first 45 minute session we will start with some of the foundations which we will build on during future sessions.
This will include things like understanding how dogs learn, how and when to use rewards and basic training exercises which will help set you up for the things we will cover in future sessions.

For the rest of our sessions we will continue to build on the basic training. Exactly what we cover will depend on what is most important to you.
The training will all be positive reinforcement based and will include simple exercises and games making it easy for you to continue to build on your progress between sessions.

Jenny is amazing!! She’s really helped my family have the best training experience for our little puppy Roo! Couldn’t recommend more.

It’s best to start your puppy’s training as soon as possible. In my experience, having expert advice and support from the moment you bring your puppy home can be hugely beneficial to nervous new puppy owners. Although they won’t be able to join group classes until they’ve had their vaccinations, we can start one to one classes from as soon as your puppy arrives in your home.
-
I will travel to you for one to one training. I cover Crawley and the surrounding areas including Horley, Smallfield, Lingfield, Dormansland, Copthorne, Crawley Down, Turners Hill, West Hoathly, Sharpthorne, Balcombe, Cuckfield, Haywards Heath, Felbridge and East Grinstead. If you’re outside of these areas, please do still get in touch and I will let you know if I can cover your area.

The great thing about one to one training is that we can work it around your schedule. We’ll agree the date and time of the next session at the end of the last one, so we can always plan sessions around whatever you have going on.
-
Yes of course! It’s great to get the whole family involved in your new puppy’s training. However if your children are under 6 or need a lot of supervision, it might be better to have another adult on hand, so that you don’t have too many things to worry about!
-
Whatever you want! We’ll usually cover the standard training class content, which includes settle, recall, loose lead walking, sit and down positions, leave, stay and more. But we can also cover anything else that is particularly important to you or that you’re struggling with.
-
The honest answer is that it depends. Socialisation refers to the development stage your puppy goes through between around 6 and 12-14 weeks, where they learn to accept the things they experience as normal parts of life.
If you live in an area where there are lots of dogs and people around, then it’s unlikely that your puppy would miss out by doing one to one training rather than classes. If this is something you’re concerned about, let me know and we can discuss how we can still make socialisation part of your puppy’s training.
