Support for New Puppy Parents
(No Guilt, No Judgment)
Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. One moment, they’re adorable and snuggly—the next, they’re chewing your shoes, stealing your socks, peeing on the rug even though you JUST took them outside, howling when left alone or ignoring you completely as they zoom around bouncing off the furniture during the witching hour! Any of these scenarios sound familiar?
These early months will shape your dog’s future, and we’re here to help you set sail with a strong start.
At Your Canine Compass, we make puppy training simple, effective, and fun. Whether you choose a group class or a tailored 1:1 package, or BOTH, you’ll learn how to build confidence, teach essential skills, and lay the foundation for a well-mannered dog that listens at home and out in the world.
What You’ll Learn With Us
✔ Focus & Engagement – Teach your puppy to listen, even when there are distractions.
✔ Come when called – Build the foundations for a strong recall
✔ Loose Lead Walking – Start the habit of enjoyable walks, for both of you.
✔ Toilet Training & Settling – Reduce accidents and help your puppy settle anywhere.
✔ Confidence & Socialisation – Set your puppy up for success everywhere you go.
