WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE
SO DIFFERENT?
While most puppy courses focus heavily on teaching commands, this course takes a more holistic approach, with a strong focus on training, relationship-building, and developing your pup’s confidence, all while giving you a clear plan to prevent problems before they start.
We’ve also included dedicated modules on how to choose the right dog for your lifestyle and how to properly prepare your home before your puppy even arrives, so you’re set up for success from day one.
Follow along as we raise our Labrador puppy, Sport, from 8 weeks to 12 months in our inner-city home, alongside our two young kids and senior Lab.
You’ll learn how to build a strong relationship with your puppy by understanding their core needs, while combining theory and practical skills to help your pup grow into a reliable, well-mannered companion who is a joy to live with!

SET YOUR PUPPY UP FOR SUCCESS
Hi, I’m Tim Watson, a dog trainer and behaviourist based in Melbourne, Australia. For the last 10+ years, I’ve specialised in behaviour modification—working with dogs and owners to solve everything from anxiety to aggression to everything in between. The biggest lesson? Most behaviour problems start from missing foundations in a puppy's early development.
That’s why I created this course—to guide you through those often-overlooked but essential first steps, including: developing a strong working relationship with your pup, developing confidence and preventing behaviour problems before they start. I hope you find this course valuable and that it helps you to feel confident and prepared as a new puppy owner. If you have any questions or need assistance along the way, please don't hesitate to reach out!
