Puppy Foundations
Early Support for New Puppies & Their Families
Service Description
Age guide: Best suited to puppies from around 8 to 12 weeks of age, during their first weeks settling into a new home. This programme is designed for puppies in the early settling-in stage, typically from around 8 to 12 weeks of age. The focus is on routines, prevention, confidence building, and helping owners understand normal puppy behaviour, rather than formal training skills. For puppies older than this who are beginning to develop challenging behaviours, the more structured training programme the Teenage Tune-Up is recommended. If you would like to continue your puppy's training and development after Puppy Foundations, you can also do this by choosing Ongoing Support Sessions.
Cancellation Policy
At Working Wonders Dog Training, I value your time and commitment — just as I value mine. Consistency is key to your dog’s progress, and clear communication helps us make the most of every session together. Cancellations and Rescheduling • If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please send a text message to 0418 279 009 as soon as possible. • At least 24 hours’ notice is required for all cancellations. • Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur the full session fee. Inclement Weather • If a session needs to be cancelled due to severe weather conditions, there will be no charge. • I’ll contact you if the weather is unsuitable for training and arrange a rescheduled time. Arriving on Time • Please aim to arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly. • Sessions will finish at the scheduled time even if you arrive late, as other clients may be booked immediately afterwards. Health and Safety • Please let me know if your dog or anyone in your household is unwell or has a contagious condition (canine or human!). • Safety for both people and dogs is my top priority — if conditions are unsafe to proceed, I reserve the right to end a session early or reschedule. Consistency and Progress • Training works best with regular attendance and ongoing practice between sessions. • I’ll provide written notes or homework sheets so you can continue working on your dog’s skills at home.
