Give your puppy a good start
Did you just pick up your new puppy and has your cute fluffy puppy turned into a biting piranha? Your belongings are no longer safe from those razor-sharp teeth and why does he pee on your beautiful new carpet every time? He finds walking outside very exciting and you aren’t making any progress.

I can help you with:

    •         Personalized plan: Based on the personal needs of you and your dog.
    •         At home: I come to your home so your puppy does not have to travel to a training location in the car or by public transport.
    •         Force-free based training: We never force the puppy into situations he finds difficult. What prevents your puppy from becoming anxious and creating problem behavior.
    •         To walk: I help you through difficult and exciting situations you walk past every day.
    •         Personal help: All training sessions are private, without other participants. So you get full time and personal attention.

Puppy expert

I am Marsha from Personal Paws, a force-free dog trainer in Amsterdam. In 2021 and 2023 I had two puppies myself and I have already helped more than 75 owners raise their puppies.

I think it’s important you understand what you are doing. Because only then are you educating, versus teaching tricks. This is essential to have a stable, cheerful, adult dog at home. Which you really enjoy. Because he listens, has little to no problems. And you know exactly what your dog needs from you.

More (self)confidence in 5 lessons

The training consists of a short course of 5 consecutive lessons. This is the minimum number of lessons you need to gradually get used to raising a puppy. And all the challenges that come with this. After this short process, you will have more self-confidence and you will know how to help your puppy in situations that he finds difficult. Which ensures that you let a puppy grow up into a stable adult dog. How nice is that! You can already prevent many behavioral problems by tackling them properly.

You are laying a solid foundation:

  • You know what to do to potty train your puppy
  • You know what to do when your puppy shows biting behavior
  • Your puppy can walk relaxed on a leash
  •  Your bond of trust is so strong that he enjoys listening to you without force  
  • You know how to socialize your puppy in the best way

One in 8 lessons (more than good) good basis

The training consists of a longer process of 8 consecutive lessons. This is slightly more extensive than the package of 5 lessons, which allows us to go one step further in education. With this package you lay a good foundation for the rest of your dog's life.

The advantage is that on top of the good basis:

  • Your puppy will now leave garbage on the street 
  • The first step towards relaxing and learning to be alone at home has been taken
  • The basis for learning to walk freely has been created

In September we got our first puppy and we were looking for private dogtraining, without the stress of other dogs with group training. We got some really good tips from Marsha and we learned how to walk calm with our puppy. She shared some really fun ideas about sniffing and after every class you receive an e-book with practical tips and information. We highly recommend the puppytraining if you want to give your puppy a good start.

Content of the lessons
During the lessons, we will discuss what you want to work on. Every situation requires things from a puppy that are less relevant to someone else. Consider: preventing destroying behavior, eating garbage on the street, being able to be home alone, toilet training, and dealing with children. We get started in the first lesson with your biggest challenge. At the end of the lesson, you will know what you can practice within the coming week.

After each lesson, you will also receive a digital dog book. This explains how you can strengthen the bond between you and your puppy. This way you can also get started, without my direct help. All lessons are tailored to your situation because we work in your environment.  

Yes, I want this

Marsha helped our very anxious, scared puppy grow into a brave, confident adolescent through the 5 sessions we did together. As a first time dog owner in the busy city, we had no idea how to teach our puppy to behave well and feel safe outside. Marsha provided a safe environment for him to learn in the comfort of our home. We then progressed to walks outside and short interactions with other dogs/humans. Our dog responded immediately to her positive reward methods (lots of treats!), and as owners we also learned a lot about how to recognize and consistently train certain behaviours moving forward. We would highly recommend Marsha if you need focused and tailored training according to your dog's needs! Her positivity, patience and commitment to your dog is unmatched 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When is the best time to start this training?

When you have had your puppy at home for at least 1 week, you have gotten to know each other a little and you also know the challenges you face.

  •  Which training method do you use?

I train in a force-free manner and always look at how we can best guide the puppy. The supervisor will also have to adjust his expectations to ensure that the training runs as well as possible.

  • What if I don't see any improvement after the training?

The success of the training depends on a lot of factors that I cannot always control. In any case, the bond between you and your puppy will grow because you understand each other better after this training.

 

If you get in now you will receive a Goodie bag with a long 3-meter leash and a
nice surprise for you and your puppy.
