New Puppy Home Visits
The right start for your puppy – right where it matters most
Bringing home a new puppy is exciting… but it can also feel like a whirlwind. Those first few weeks are where everything begins – habits, confidence, and the foundations for the dog they’ll become.
At Brickyard Gundogs, we bring the training to you.
No overcomplicated methods – just clear, reward‑based training that works in the real world and builds a strong partnership between you and your dog.

Cost: £65 – £75 per 60–75 min home visit
Why a home visit?
Training happens in real life – not just on the training field. By working in your home, we can help you build calm, consistent routines from day one, in the exact environment your puppy is learning in.
And remember… if you don’t guide your puppy early on, they’ll happily make their own rules!
What we’ll cover:
- Getting the basics right from the start – sit, recall, lead introduction
- Toilet training and settling routines
- Managing biting, chewing, and those classic “puppy moments”
- Building focus, calmness, and confidence
- Early gundog foundations appropriate for your puppy
- Practical, easy‑to‑follow training you can continue every day
Who it’s for:
Whether you're aiming for a well‑mannered family companion or a future working dog, this is about setting your puppy up properly from the very beginning – with training that fits your lifestyle.
