The Puppy Partnership

Gentle, scent-led training to help you and your puppy grow in confidence, connection and understanding.

Building calm foundations from the very beginning

Bringing a puppy home is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Toilet training, biting, lead walking, recall, settling – there’s so much to think about, and it can be hard to know where to start.

The Puppy Partnership is an eight-week one-to-one programme designed for owners who want to truly understand their puppy and build the right foundations from the very beginning.

It combines personal support, clear guidance and thoughtful training, built around how puppies really experience the world: through scent.

When we understand how puppies use their sense of smell to explore, learn and communicate, we can use that knowledge to help them learn more easily, strengthen communication and create a relationship that supports both emotional and behavioural development.

This scent-led approach helps meet their breed and species-specific needs, provides natural outlets for behaviour and builds confidence, resilience and optimism as they grow.

Is this programme for you?

The Puppy Partnership is for owners who want to go beyond standard puppy training.

It’s for those who want to learn as much as their puppy does, who are ready to invest time and thought into understanding their puppy, and who value kind, science-based training rooted in connection and communication.

This is a bespoke and limited programme. I only work with a small number of owners at a time to make sure each partnership receives the focus it deserves.

Before joining, we’ll arrange a short discovery chat to ensure it’s the right fit for you, your puppy and your goals.

“From our very 1st call Vicki has been such a great help and support with our puppy. The training was just exactly what I needed to gain confidence with Finn.

The 1:1 sessions early on started us off on the right road. The training is practical and Vicki is so supportive and encouraging. If you have a new puppy I would absolutely recommend getting in touch with Vicki.”

Lucy Cooke

“Vicki was absolutely amazing and taught me so much, not just about the training techniques but also about the behaviour of dogs and why they are demonstrating certain behaviours, which really helped me to understand my puppy.

I can’t thank Vicki enough for her personal and caring approach. I would 100% recommend Love Your Paws to anyone, definitely the best trainer around!”
