🐾 Puppy Training Hub – Your Complete Guide to Raising a Calm, Confident Pup

Welcome to The National Dog Training Academy’s Puppy Training Hub — your friendly, expert guide to everything you need to know about life with a new puppy.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry. We’ve helped thousands of owners take their first steps with confidence. Here you’ll find clear answers to the questions new puppy parents ask most often, plus free resources and local class details when you’re ready for hands-on help.

💡 Getting Started with Puppy Training

❓When should I start training my puppy?

You can start gentle training from day one. At eight to ten weeks old, puppies learn fast — and kind guidance now prevents problems later.
👉 Read: When to Start Puppy Training

❓What’s the best way to train a puppy?

Use short sessions, plenty of rewards, and calm consistency. Reward the behaviours you want rather than correcting the ones you don’t.

🦷 Common Puppy Problems (and How to Fix Them)

❓How do I stop my puppy from biting?

Puppy biting is normal play and teething behaviour. Learn how to stop puppy biting with consistent training.
👉 Read: How to Stop Puppy Biting

❓How do I toilet train my puppy fast?

Stick to a routine: frequent trips outside, calm praise for success, no scolding for mistakes.
👉 Read: Toilet Training Made Simple

❓How can I stop my puppy pulling on the lead?

🐕‍🦺 Building Confidence & Social Skills

❓How do I socialise my puppy safely?

Expose your pup to new people, dogs, sights and sounds at a pace they can handle. Keep every experience positive.
👉 Read: How to Socialise Your Puppy
