What to expect
Force-Free Training Methods:
Learn about our modern, positive reinforcement techniques that build a strong, trust-based relationship with your puppy.
The Right Socialisation
Socialisation is key, but it’s more than just playing with other dogs. We focus on exposing your puppy to a variety of real-world experiences, helping them become well-adjusted in any environment.
Life Skills for Your Puppy
From mastering basic commands to settling down calmly, we guide you in teaching the essential life skills that will help your puppy grow into the dog you’ve always dreamed of.
Breed-Specific Enrichment
Every dog has innate needs based on their breed. We’ll show you how to understand your puppy’s natural instincts and how to channel those behaviours to create a balanced, happy life together.
Puppy One To Ones
Puppy Training (3-5 months)
These one-to-one, 45 minute sessions with one of our puppy training experts are ideal for those who can’t make our puppy classes but still want to get going with training while pup is young, before they reach adolescence. This is an ideal stage to step in and embed the right desired behaviours using positive training techniques, before things like stubbornness and an unexpected decline in listening can often set in! Your puppy will be forming a strong sense of their own personality at this stage and you will likely have some key areas that you want some support with. This one-to-one service allows us to focus on these while making sure you as the owner are as involved in training as possible. You can book the timing of these sessions to suit you but we do recommend keeping sessions close together, especially for young dogs, to stimulate increased learning and progression.

Puppy Group Classes
Puppy Classes (3-6 months)
Once your puppy is fully vaccinated, the fun begins! Our small group puppy classes have been created using everything we know about the young dog brain. Groups are kept limited so that puppies have chance to socialise without being overwhelmed. Suitable for puppies from three to six months, this series of six on-site classes will take you and your little one through all of the basics that will become essential life skills. This includes mat training, how to play with your puppy to build focus and trust, helping them to feel comfortable at the vet and a variety of skills that we will practice in a variety of environments. Puppy classes book up in advance, please get in touch to add your name to the next available class block.

Puppy Residentials
Our Puppy Residential Programme is crafted for puppies under five months old, offering them a well-rounded introduction to essential manners and foundational skills. This programme helps young puppies develop good behaviours, including basic commands, social confidence, and polite interactions, all under the guidance of our dedicated trainers. With age-appropriate training methods and a focus on positive reinforcement, we tailor the experience to each puppy's needs, making it the perfect way to set a positive foundation during these early months.
The Puppy Residential Programme is offered at all locations, though availability depends on trainer schedules. To ensure consistency, arrival and departure must align with your trainer’s working days.
The programme costs £100 per day
It typically lasts five days, with an option to extend up to two weeks if needed.
Puppy Starters
Is the Royvon Method Right for You?
Are you wondering if our unique training methods are the best fit for your puppy? Our Puppy Training Starters is a 45-minute session designed to help you discover how our force-free training approach can shape your puppy into the well-behaved adult dog you've always dreamed of.
At Royvon, we are dedicated to using positive reinforcement techniques only, never subscribing to balanced training methods that rely on coercion or threats. Unlike balance training, which forces dogs into behaviours through fear, we focus on shaping your puppy’s natural instincts into positive behaviours in a way that is kind, gentle, and effective. Our methods encourage building trust, understanding, and a strong bond between you and your puppy.
During this session you will:
• Learn about our training approach and how we advocate for a positive, force-free experience for your puppy.
• Share your goals with an expert trainer, who will explain how to achieve those goals with your puppy through consistent, positive training practices.
• Gain insights into the level of commitment needed to raise a well-rounded, adaptable dog who can accompany you anywhere.
At Royvon, we believe in helping you and your puppy live in harmony, creating a fulfilling and lifelong bond. Let us guide you to experience the most rewarding life with your dog. Book your Puppy Training Assessment today and take the first step towards a bright future with your puppy!
The session is priced at £45
and we offer availability throughout the week and weekends to suit your schedule
