About Puppy Foundation Training
Bringing home a new pup feels amazing, but I know the first few weeks can be a total circus. Zoey, my own dog, taught me that these days matter most for building trust and that true "companion" feeling. My goal? Make this phase smoother and help you raise a dog who's happy, confident, and really listens.
How I Train
Everything is reward-based and fear-free. We use treats, silly praise, play, and lots of "good boys/girls!" No harsh methods. It's not just about commands - it's about getting your pup to trust you and understand what you want. I lean into positive reinforcement puppy training, so learning feels like a game, not a chore.
What We Work On
- Basic obedience for puppies: Sit, Stay, Down, Recall (Come!), plus "paw kar lo" (shake hands).
- Focus skills: 'Leave It', 'Watch Me', and fun tricks to keep things fresh.
- Early puppy socialization tips: Gentle intro to scary stuff like vacuums, fireworks, and busy streets. Even car and auto rides - gotta be ready for anything!
- Puppy house manners coaching: Potty training, biting, chewing, jumping, and teaching good greetings.
- Enrichment: Puzzle toys, snuffle mats, games like fetch to keep their brains busy.
Your Role
Honestly, your effort matters as much as mine. You'll get homework, and sticking with it is what really makes your little raaja beta (prince son) shine. It’s not always easy, but watching your pup turn into a total star is so worth it. We're in this together - a real team, not just trainer and client.

Zoella Dog Training
My Story
People always say my dogs are so chill now, but man, it wasn’t always like this. Zoey, my golden retriever, came into my life during lockdown and turned it upside down. She was wild, sensitive, sick sometimes, and honestly, I cried a lot. But that messy journey made me obsessed with understanding dogs. Ended up getting certified, started Zoella Dog Training, and now my dogs are pampered brats. I get it when pet parents struggle – been there! It’s all about patience, sticking with it, and finding that bond.
