Feel confident, connected, and actually enjoy this stage with your puppy, with tailored support built around both you and your new companion.

You've made it through the first few weeks…

Maybe you've had your welcome home new puppy 1:1 session with me, maybe you've been figuring things out on your own.

Either way, you're here because you want more than just to survive puppyhood.

You want to actually enjoy it.

You're ready to crack lead walking without the pull-and-stop battle.

You want recall that actually works when it matters.

You want a puppy who can settle, who isn't using your hands as a chew toy, who you feel genuinely connected to - not just managed.

That's exactly what these packages are designed for.

You might be...

🐾 A first-time puppy parent who wants proper, personalised guidance rather than wading through conflicting advice online

🐾 A puppy parent who maybe had a puppy years ago, and is surprised by how different this puppy feels

🐾 A puppy parent who's had the new puppy 1:1 session with me and is ready to keep the momentum going with more structure

🐾 Someone dealing with a specific thing - the puppy biting, the pulling, the zooming, the overstimulation, and you want real help with it

Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place.

  • We are amazed how well Poppy has done with her training... I can't recommend Sian and Lavender Garden dog training highly enough, can't wait for the next step in Poppy's training journey!

  • I chose to work with Sian with my lurcher puppy for a couple of reasons. We bumped into her on one of his early walks and she gave us some handy tips for his focus, and he immediately took to her. I liked her gentle and non-aversive style.

How the puppy training packages work

Every package is built around your puppy and your life.

But the most common things we work through together are:

🐾 Lead walking - building a loose lead from the ground up, no frustration, no yanking

🐾 Recall - laying the foundation for a dog who genuinely wants to come back to you

🐾 Puppy biting and overstimulation - understanding why it's happening, and what to do instead

🐾 Settling and independence - helping your puppy feel safe and calm even when life gets busy

🐾 Confidence building - for your puppy, and honestly, for you too

Not sure if your specific struggle is covered? Drop me a WhatsApp on 07476 903840 and we'll have a quick chat.

Hey! I’m Sian…    

Smiling person with wavy hair in a car, wearing a light-colored outfit with a bird-patterned blouse and a necklace.

I’m a certified, ethical dog trainer and behaviour coach who specialises in helping dog parents build calm, connected lives with their dogs - without shame, pressure, or quick-fix obedience tactics.

Through years of professional training and my own hands-on experience, I’ve developed a gentle, holistic approach to my puppy training support, for both the dogs and the clients I work with.

I have 6+ years experience working with dogs, but alongside that I also adopted my own puppy when I was just the dog mum at the time, and not the trainer.

My professional knowledge, skills and personal experiences allow me to bring a level of understanding and support, that not a lot of trainers can, into my puppy training packages.

I’ll always aim to meet you where you’re at, support you through it, create clear, step by step training plans with you and your puppy in mind and aim to give you the peace of mind and confidence that you deserve through it all!

What changes?

By the end of your package, it isn't just your puppy who's different.

Yes, the lead walking gets better. Recall becomes something you can actually rely on. The biting settles. The chaos starts to feel manageable.

But the biggest thing? You stop second-guessing yourself.

You know what your puppy needs. You understand what they're communicating. You feel connected to them in a way that makes this whole stage feel less like something to survive and more like something you're genuinely enjoying together.

That connection is what we're really building here.
