Online Puppy Training With Lavender Garden Animal Services

Welcoming a puppy into your home should feel joyful, yet the reality often includes chewed slippers, sleepless nights and worries that you are “doing it all wrong.” I’m Sian Lawley-Rudd, owner of Lavender Garden Animal Services, and I created our online puppy training programmes to replace overwhelm with confidence. By combining short, engaging video lessons, printable day planners and personal email support, my courses help you shape a calm, well-mannered companion from the very first week.

Why Online Puppy Training Works Better Than You Might Think

Traditional in-person classes can be valuable, but they are not the only path to success. Here’s why thousands of modern dog parents choose online puppy training instead:

Total flexibility


Lessons fit your schedule, whether that’s before work, during a lunch break or after the children have gone to bed. You set the pace, so progress never feels rushed or stressful.


Teething, adolescence and hormonal milestones can all spark setbacks. Your course library never expires, so you can revisit calming games, recall drills and enrichment ideas whenever new challenges arise.

Lifetime access that covers every growth stage

A low-pressure environment for sensitive pups


Some puppies shut down or become over-excited in busy halls. Learning at home removes unfamiliar noise and smells, allowing steady, focused practice that boosts confidence faster.

Direct support from a certified ethical trainer


When you join Lavender Garden you get personal guidance from me. Ask questions by email or inside our private community and receive clear, jargon-free answers within forty-eight hours.

What Makes My Online Puppy Training Different

Plenty of video platforms exist, yet many feel like a random playlist. I designed each course around three pillars that owners consistently ask for: structure, clarity and empathy.

  • Structure - every module builds on the last. You always know what to teach next and why it matters.

  • Clarity - videos are three to eight minutes long, filmed in HD and include step-by-step voice-over. Printable PDFs summarise the key points, so you can practise without pausing a screen.

  • Empathy - as a trauma-informed coach I support people as much as dogs. If puppy blues hit or worry creeps in, you will receive kind guidance that leaves you feeling capable rather than judged.

Recall That Really Works

  • Turn your recall cue into something your puppy loves to respond to (and will come flying back for!).

  • Learn safe management and training strategies around dogs, wildlife, and busy areas.

  • Teach an Emergency ‘Stop’ cue to keep your pup safe in those unpredictable moments.

  • How to prevent future problem behaviours (like snatching or bolting) by building calm habits now.

All exercises use force-free, science-backed methods approved by leading behaviour organisations. No lead jerks, alpha rolls or loud corrections - just clear communication and generous reinforcement.

Giving your new pup the right guidance from day one sets the tone for a lifetime of calm, confident behaviour. Our online puppy training courses combine clear video lessons, printable action plans and personal support from certified trainer, Sian, so you can build good habits without leaving home.

Success Stories From Real Puppy Parents

“I watched the pre-school webinar before our puppy arrived. I felt so much more confident once little Annie arrived as I felt I had some good strategies to follow. So far Annie has been such a delight and is doing so well with toilet training, night routine and learning not to bite things! We have also been on a few walks and she is doing so well with socialising. We have been following the advice that I have learnt from the webinar.  The pre-school training really has been a lifeline. Thank you.” 

– Sarah & Annie -

“This was a great video. I've immediately found it helpful especially for routine (I feel more for me then Scratch ) and toilet training. Stuff you were describing (like standing outside for 20 mins) was happening. Thanks so much.” 

- Chris & Scratch

“Honestly you are a lifesaver! And the [training] library you’ve sent over is incredible! It’s helped SO much! Xxx”

- Chloe & Jax

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No – in fact, gentle learning can begin the moment your puppy comes home. The first few weeks are a golden window to build positive habits and confidence before unwanted behaviours have a chance to develop. Online puppy training is designed to support you during this critical stage, focusing on calm, kind foundations like toilet training, crate comfort, socialisation, and gentle handling. Starting early sets both you and your puppy up for long-term success, without overwhelming them or using harsh methods.

  • A flat collar and harness, a standard lead, a few safe toys and soft treats are enough to begin. Optional items are suggested for enrichment, but nothing fancy is required. We will build on this throughout the course to understand what motivates your individual dog.

  • Life happens. Because access never expires, you can pause during holidays, work shifts or family events, then pick up exactly where you left off.

  • Yes. Many dog parents choose my courses specifically because they avoid pressure and punishment. I provide alternative setups and extra pacing tips for sensitive souls. Having a nervous dog myself, I understand a gentle approach is needed.

  • Absolutely. I answer every message myself. You are never directed to a chatbot or generic help desk.
