Spaces are limited to ensure individual attention, so early enquiry is recommended.
The first 16 weeks are the most important stage in your puppy’s life. What they experience during this time shapes their confidence, behaviour, and response to the world around them.
Many behaviour problems later in life come from poor early structure or the wrong type of socialisation. Once habits form, they can take months to undo. With the right start, this is completely avoidable.

Programme Overview
Unlike standard puppy classes, our programme combines tailored one-to-one training with monitored socialisation at Lola’s House — a trusted, home-based environment with dogs we have known for years. In our experience, this is the safest and most effective way to socialise a young puppy.
What’s included:
- Initial consultation and written report
- Six tailored one-to-one puppy training sessions (from 8-14 weeks)
- Six structured socialisation daycares (from 14–16 weeks)
- Printed resources, session handouts and certificates
- Ongoing WhatsApp, phone or email support
This programme combines personalised training with correct socialisation — two things most owners never get in one place.
During the first six weeks, we work with you and your puppy through one training session per week, held in your home and focused on building the foundations for a happy dog.
We will cover:
- Crate & toilet training
- Your puppy's routine
- Setting boundaries & place training
- Recall & loose lead walking
- Body language & communication
- Building independence
- Handling & grooming
- & Much, much more
Following their primary vaccinations, puppies move into a socialisation phase. This includes six daycare sessions at Lola’s House, with calm, well-socialised dogs.
Socialisation daycares include:
- Time spent with adult dogs monitored by two puppy specialists
- On lead group walks with adult dogs
- Reinforcement of early training
- Livestock & town environment exposure
- Time spent away from you
- Exclusive access to Lola's House daycare upon graduation
If it's your first puppy or you are an experienced dog owner every puppy can present different challenges. The programme supports owners just as much as their puppies.
You will receive:
- An initial consultation & written report
- 24/7 WhatsApp/phone/email support Throughout the duration of the programme
- Printed welcome pack
- Doggy Language book
- Printed resources & handouts
- Graduation certificates

Most puppy trainers focus on teaching skills. Very few combine this with socialisation in the way it truly needs to be done. Meeting dogs on walks or attending group classes often leads to chaotic greetings and overstimulation.
At Lola’s House, socialisation is calm, controlled, and done properly. Your puppy is introduced to a small group of balanced adult dogs we have known for years, allowing them to learn at the right pace in a safe environment.
Correct socialisation is the foundation for a calm, confident, happy adult dog. It is also the part most people get wrong. At Lola’s House, we get it right from the very start.
