How quickly will I see results from puppy training?

Most families see initial improvements within the first week, with significant progress achieved within 4–6 weeks of consistent implementation. Every puppy is different, and some challenges take longer to resolve than others.

What areas of North London do you cover for dog training?

Sara is based in Mill Hill (NW7 ) and covers all of North London including Barnet, Finchley, Hampstead, Hendon, Edgware, Stanmore, Whetstone, East Barnet, New Barnet, Totteridge, and surrounding areas. Online consultations are available for families outside the travel area.

Are Doodles easy to train?

Doodles are intelligent and food-motivated, which helps with training — but they're also sensitive, easily overstimulated, and quick to pick up habits (both good and bad). With the right approach they can be brilliant to train. Without it, things can feel chaotic quite quickly. Sara specialises specifically in Doodle breeds including Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Cavapoos and Goldendoodles.

Why does my Doodle puppy bite and nip so much?

Puppy biting is one of the most common challenges for Doodle owners. Puppies explore the world with their mouths, and with Doodles it's often made worse by excitement, frustration, and tiredness. It is not aggression — it is a lack of impulse control, which can absolutely be taught with the right positive training methods.

What training methods do you use?

Sara uses exclusively positive, reward-based training methods that are scientifically proven and endorsed by the IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers). She never uses shock collars, prong collars, or intimidation-based techniques.

Do I need a professional dog trainer or can I do this myself?

You can make progress on your own — especially with the right guidance. But if you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like nothing is working, getting the right support early can save a lot of time and frustration. Sara offers a free 20-minute discovery call so you can find out whether 1-2-1 training is right for you before committing.
