I’m Now an Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy Qualified Instructor!

I’m excited to share that I have officially gained my Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy Instructor accreditation! This qualification is widely recognised within the professional dog training community and completing it forms an important part of my Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as part of keeping my accreditation with both the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and the Animal Behaviour & Training Council (ABTC).

Why I Chose This Course

The Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy programme is known for its modern, science-based, force-free approach to raising well rounded puppies. As puppy training continually evolves with new research in behaviour and learning theory, it’s vital for trainers to stay updated and this course offered a fantastic deep dive into the latest, most effective methods.

How This Accreditation Has Strengthened My Puppy Training Skills

Completing this training has enabled me to refine and expand my approach in several key areas:

✨ Clear, Gentle, Step-by-Step Foundations

The Easy Peasy programme emphasises simple, achievable steps for puppies and owners. I’ve strengthened the way I break down early skills like settling, loose-lead walking and being able to focus, into small, confidence-building parts.

✨ Up-to-Date Socialisation Guidance

Modern socialisation isn’t just exposure it’s positive, well-managed experiences. The course gave me new tools to help owners introduce their puppies to the world in a structured, safe way tailored to each individual pup.

✨ Understanding Puppy Emotions & Development

Puppy behaviour is deeply linked to developmental stages and this course offered fresh insights into how fear periods, teething, sleep, and hormonal changes affect learning. This helps me create training plans that match what a puppy is truly capable of at each age.

✨ Support for Common Puppy Struggles

From biting and jumping to toilet training and early independence skills, the programme reinforced practical, kind strategies that actually work without overwhelm for pups or people.

✨ Enhanced Owner Coaching Skills

Helping owners feel confident is just as important as helping puppies learn. This accreditation sharpened my communication skills so I can deliver clearer instructions, supportive feedback, and tailored guidance for every family.

What This Means for You and Your Puppy

If you train with me, you can be confident you’re getting support based on the most current, ethical, and enjoyable approaches to puppy development. My goal is to make learning fun, effective, and stress-free — truly Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy!

Whether you’re bringing home a brand-new pup or wanting to strengthen your early foundations, I’m now even better equipped to guide you both through those important first months.
