Puppy Program
Everything you build later starts here. Follow our puppies week by week from 8 weeks old – and lay down drive, focus, grip and the first behaviours for all three phases in the right order.
Included in the membership – together with all other programs.
See the world through their eyes.
It is easy to be patient with a puppy once you see the world through its eyes. Every puppy is an individual – it learns from every interaction with you, and from the lack of one, at its own pace.
This program is our blueprint for raising a working puppy, and we keep updating it as we learn. You watch our puppies develop week by week in real training: how they learn, how they handle their surroundings, how they face challenges, how they bond and build trust. And whatever didn’t go to plan, we left in.
If this is your first working dog, you get a clear path from day one. If you have raised dogs before, you can pick the pieces that fit your puppy and skip the rest.
From everyday life to the first steps on the field
Six building blocks, in the order a puppy actually grows into them – from living together at home to the first introduction to tracking, obedience and protection.
Foundation
- Puppy Course – everyday upbringing, care and basic behaviour issues
- Basic Obedience – the four foundation exercises many dogs never learn
- Proactive Puppy – building focus and drive for the field from a very young age
Motor skills
- Heeling position and first steps
- Finishes, left turns and flips
- About-turns and body awareness
- All taught playfully, before any formal exercise
Intro to all three phases
- Tracking – first scent pads
- Obedience – stay positions and heeling
- Protection – ‘scare the helper away’ and running the blinds
- Follow Our Puppies – weekly diaries with successes and setbacks
What makes this program different
Week by week, from 8 weeks
You follow real puppies from the day they arrive. Every stage is dated, so you know what to expect from your own puppy and when.
Real development, not a demo
Our puppies don’t always get it right – and neither do we. The mistakes and the fixes are part of the program, because that is what raising a puppy looks like.
Working-dog focus from day one
Everything is built towards tracking, obedience and protection – without pressure on the puppy, but with a clear direction.
Updated as we learn
The program is a living blueprint. When we find a better way, the program changes with it.
Every puppy is an individual
We show you how to read your puppy and adjust – not a rigid schedule to follow blindly.
Take what you like
Experienced handlers pick what fits their puppy. First-time owners can follow the whole path step by step.
More than videos
Every program comes with the three things that make the difference between watching and actually getting better.
