Puppy Training
Start Puppyhood With Clarity, Connection and the Right Foundations
A structured puppy training course that walks you through all the essentials step-by-step so you can raise a well-mannered, confident dog without the overwhelm. This is your go-to starting point if you want clear guidance on:
-
basic commands
-
lead walking
-
recall
-
boundaries and manners
-
building focus and engagement
-
how to socialise
No guesswork. No conflicting advice. Just a clear, practical roadmap.
If your puppy is:
-
struggling with boundaries
-
pulling on the lead or switching off outdoors
-
easily distracted by everything around them
You are in the right place. This package gives you a clear plan, hands-on coaching and the foundations your puppy needs to grow into a well-rounded dog.
What is Included?
A personalised training plan tailored to your dog’s behaviour, lifestyle, and needs
A deep understanding of what’s actually driving your dog’s behaviour (not just surface-level fixes)
Clear, practical homework so you know exactly what to do between sessions
Hands-on coaching in real-life environments so training works outside of controlled settings
Ongoing support between sessions so you’re never left guessing or feeling stuck
Guidance on communication, structure, and daily routines that support long-term change
A holistic approach that considers your dog’s emotional state, environment, and overall wellbeing
Access to support via message between sessions
Adjustments to your plan as your dog progresses
Our Approach
At Zoomies, we believe every dog is unique, and their training, care, and lifestyle should reflect that. We take the time to understand your dog’s personality, genetics, behaviours, and boundaries so we can create a plan that actually fits your dog and your life.
We don’t just train dogs, we guide owners too. When you understand the why behind your dog’s behaviour, everything starts to click, and that’s where real change happens.
Our approach is science-backed, relationship-focused, and built on trust, observation, and respect for your dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing.
No one-size-fits-all methods. No outdated dominance theories. Just thoughtful, personalised support to help your dog feel safe, learn clearly, and thrive.

It has been absolutely amazing working with Lisa. I really, really appreciate all the time, effort, love and care she has put into training the dogs (and us!!) The results have been incredible.

Is this right for you?
You want long-term change, not quick fixes
You’re ready to be involved in your dog’s training and are open to a personalised, holistic approach
You want to understand your dog, not just manage them
This may not be the right fit if:
You’re looking for a quick or instant solution
You’re not able to follow through with homework or consistency
You’re wanting training done for you, rather than with you
Our Mission
After working with hundreds of dogs across the world, our founder Lisa Telle discovered one thing was always true: Dogs thrive when their training, adventure and nutrition needs are met in a way that feels natural, respectful and fun. Zoomies was born from that belief. Since then Lisa has built a team of empathetic, intuitive trainers who share her commitment to improving the well-being, behaviour and happiness of every dog we meet. Our mission is to help dogs and their humans build a life they genuinely love together: one that strengthens the bond, nurtures trust and honours the unique relationship you share. We’re here to walk alongside you, educate and empower you and celebrate the joy of living in sync with your dog.
