Why start early?
If a dog is properly socialised as a puppy, many behaviour problems can be avoided altogether. A lack of socialisation often leads to anxiety — or worse, aggression — later on. After 22+ years of helping adult dogs with those problems, Jo knows exactly what to get right early.

Jo’s approach
Jo focuses on creating a calm, well-mannered puppy through consistency, clear boundaries and practical training — and on helping you understand your puppy’s behaviour, so you know what to do long after the session ends.

“Jo knows and understands dogs like nobody else. Whether your dog needs a few gentle pointers or a fully immersive programme, Jo can do it all.”
