Step by step guidance on everything you need to know to transform your pup or dog

Puppy Zen – Virtual Puppy School

Real time with Mark Vette

There is a critical time in a puppy’s life called the Formative Period, where training is essential as they can learn skills and social behaviours quickly and easily. Miss it, and you could have a lifetime of problem behaviours. Make the most of it, and you will have a happy lifelong bond with your pup.

My online Puppy School is designed to teach you everything you need to know about raising and training a puppy! While traditional puppy schools are fantastic for socialisation, in my school you’ll also get the chance to learn critical tools and techniques around fear and phobia prevention, building a lifelong mentor bond and building resilience and confidence.

Learn to train your pup the right way (in a way your pup actually understands!) and set yourself up for a relaxed, enjoyable and stress-free life with your new pup.

Teenage Puppy Zen – Virtual School for Teenage Pups

Teenage puppies (5-18 months) come with their own unique challenges, driven by hormonal and developmental changes occurring as your pup matures and their focus shifts away from you to the many delightful distractions out in the big, wide, world!

Your pup might:

  • Have a tendency to be more stubborn and outwardly focused
  • Show emerging behaviour issues such as dominance, fear, separation distress, hyperactivity or poor recall
  • Be perfectly behaved at home but stop obeying commands while out and about
  • Seem to go backwards in their training
  • Have a need for more exercise and stimulation
  • Show over-the-top reactions to certain things

Our teenage puppy online school will guide you through this confusing teenage period, with training techniques designed to help you avoid a lifetime of bad behaviour, and ensure you end up with a beautifully well-behaved dog, deeply bonded to you.

BONUS VIDEOS!
You’ll also get access to all the puppy-training videos from our Puppy Zen Virtual Puppy School, so you can make sure you’ve got all the foundational training and basics in place too!

Dog Zen Virtual Dog School

If you want a dog that everyone loves to be around, this is for you.

My interactive course will take you through everything you need to know to transform your adult dog. It’s for dogs that missed the early training they should have had, dogs that have had traumatic experiences which have affected their behaviour, dogs that don’t seem to listen to a word you say, and those that have behaviour issues that need solving.

You will learn about how to effectively establish your relationship with your dog, the critical nature of ‘learning state’, how to teach the most important commands, and how to correct common behaviour problems. There’s nothing like the joy we receive from having a deep bond with a well-behaved dog!

Heather

“The slip lead has made all the difference to my controlling Arki on the short lead and I am delighted with it. Just so much better than dragging on a collar a Mark says in his book. His book is fantastic and I am living and breathing it at the moment!”

Sharon

Sharon - NZ

“Just wanted to let you know what a difference your Dog Zen programme has made to our dog Macy (and us!). We’ve been using clicker and contrast training from your videos and today we had success for the first time by turning her round and asking the other dog owners to do a “nose to tail” greet. So simple, but so effective!!”

Pip

Pip - New Plymouth

“I have been watching all the Dog Zen foundation videos and learning a huge amount. We started work on the clicker on the weekend and he is making progress already on the lead, which is wonderful. I wish I had been onto this programme when he was a pup! Watching the dog language and foundation videos are really helpful to firstly know how a dogs mind works. Great and really important starting ground!”

Gloria

Gloria - Breeder, Auckland

“I recently purchased Puppy Zen book and thoroughly enjoyed the read and have some new things to try now.”

Sonia

Sonia - Breeder Cider Field Labradoodles, Australia

“As a breeder of working lines of labradoodles, we recommend all owners to get a copy of Puppy Zen, and read it before they get their pup. It has been a very helpful book and we are consistently told how prepared they feel for their pup, and we notice that the transition into their new homes is extremely smooth. If people are thinking of getting a pup, we would wholeheartedly recommend Puppy Zen and also Mark’s training videos. The information in Puppy Zen will give you the key to continue with the training from when puppy comes home, through the crucial early socialising period.”

Rhea

Rhea - Breeder, Cambridge

‘Puppy Zen book has ABSOLUTELY blown me away. The amount of useful and sensible tools/information/knowledge and skills to learn in this book is just incredible. It highlights how important it is as responsible dog owners to play our part and provides excellent guidance on how to achieve it.’
