1-to-1 Support for a Confident Start in Life

Bringing a new puppy or kitten into your life is exciting — but it can also be overwhelming. At LVC, we understand the importance of getting things right from the start, which is why we offer completely tailored 1-to-1 development sessions, designed to guide you through your pet’s early learning and help build a confident, happy companion for life.

Unlike traditional group classes, our programme is run exclusively in-practice, giving your puppy or kitten early positive exposure to the clinical environment — something no group setting can replicate. Every session is adapted to your pet’s unique personality, needs, and pace of progress.

Why Choose LVC’s Puppy & Kitten School?

Individual Attention: 1-to-1 sessions ensure a calm, focused environment where your pet receives our full attention.
Early Habituation to the Vet: Held in-practice, these sessions help your pet build confidence at the vet from day one, reducing stress and anxiety in the long term.
Tailored Support: Whether you're navigating early socialisation or specific behavioural concerns, every session is guided by your goals and your pet’s temperament. This is ideal for puppies who may be nervous or get overwhelmed quickly in a group context.
Experienced Team: Delivered by our knowledgeable team, with a genuine passion for preventative care and behavioural wellbeing.

Each journey begins with understanding your pet as an individual.

Initial Session

Our first session includes a relaxed, in-practice personality and behaviour assessment. This allows us to understand your puppy or kitten’s temperament, learning style, and any early signs of confidence or concern. From there, we create a tailored plan that guides you through the most effective ways to develop life skills, encourage social confidence, and support your pet’s early growth.

Follow-Up Sessions

Ongoing sessions focus on confidence and skills building, guided by your goals and your pet’s development. We adapt each session as your pet grows, ensuring our support continues to meet their evolving needs.
