Puppy Steps Dog Training

    Puppy Foundations and Support

    Support from puppyhood through adolescence. A warm, practical approach for families in Falmouth and surrounding areas.

    We all have a picture of our ideal life with our dog.

    Walking side by side in harmony, confident they'll come bounding back when you ask. Enjoying a pub lunch with your dog happily laying by you, or an evening in snoozing after a fun day. A dog that is simply a pleasure to be around.

    But sometimes, that isn't our reality.

    Conflicting advice

    If you're feeling unsure which advice to follow, or overwhelmed by your puppy or dog's behaviour — I can help you find clarity and confidence.

    About Lindsay

    I have been training professionally since 2014, using modern, reward-based methods that are kind, practical, and effective. As a full member of the Institute of Modern Dog Training (IMDT), I'm passionate about helping owners understand their puppy's behaviour and building strong, happy relationships.

    What owners say

    "Puppy Steps has been a perfect learning journey for our labradoodle Agnes. Lindsay has been; clear, understanding and patient with both Agnes and us. We always feel like no question is a silly question and always look forward to going each week, as it always has such a friendly, calm atmosphere. Highly recommend for both puppies and junior dogs."

    "Really enjoyed Puppy Steps puppy classes with our mini schnauzer puppy. Lindsay is very friendly and knowledgable, and the class was small and inclusive. She did a really good job of including my primary-aged children in the sessions and they learnt a lot too!"

    Della & “Tazzie” Mini Schnauzer

    "We are very pleased to recommend Lindsay as a highly professional and competent trainer who has shown us how to give Tyke the life he needs to live as a dog, but at the same time, within our domestic environment. Tyke is growing into a well behaved, gentle and friendly dog who is loved by all; as Lindsay usefully pointed out at our first meeting, Tyke doesn’t speak English, but we guess he too would recommend Lindsay very highly if he could: his wagging tail says it all."

    Nick & “Tyke” Working Cocker Spaniel
