What age should I start training my puppy?

We train puppies from as young as 8 weeks old in our 8-week Early Puppy course. From 12 weeks old, we switch puppies to our 7-week puppy training course.

Why are there two different puppy courses?

Very young puppies are still developing their senses and require a slightly slower tempo, so we developed our 8-week-long Early Puppy Course. From 12 weeks old, pups change quite a lot and can handle a faster pace in the course, so are better suited to our 7-week Puppy Training Course.

How long is each session?

Sessions last approximately an hour

What if my puppy is very energetic or distracted?

That’s completely normal. The training is designed for real-life puppies — not perfect ones.

What if my puppy is older than 6 months?

For dogs older than 6 months, we have a 6-week Good Dog Obedience course that is better suited to them.

My puppy is not fully vaccinated yet. Can I still train?

Yes! Because we train your pup in your home, starting training before they have had all of their vaccinations is perfectly safe.

Do I need any special equipment?

Once you book the course, you will receive an email with the full agenda and equipment list. Equipment includes items you likely already have, such as a lead, harness, collar, bed, and treats.

When should I start puppy training in Cork?

Puppy training can begin from 8 weeks old. Early socialisation and structured guidance help prevent common behaviour issues like biting, pulling on the lead and poor recall, and build lifelong confidence.

How much does dog training cost in Cork?

In-home dog training sessions at Planet Pup start from €69.99 per session. The number of sessions needed depends on your dog's age, breed and the behaviours you want to address. Contact us for a free 15-minute consultation.

Can you help a reactive or anxious dog in Cork?

Yes. Planet Pup provides one-to-one behaviour consults in Cork for reactive dogs, separation anxiety, fear-based behaviours and aggression. Every case begins with a full assessment and a step-by-step behaviour plan tailored to your dog.

Do you offer in-home dog training in Cork?

Yes. All training takes place in your home, in your environment, with your dog. We cover Cork City and surrounding areas including Ballincollig, Midleton, Carrigaline, Mallow, Fermoy, Blarney, Cobh and Douglas.

Is my dog too old for training?

No. Dogs of all ages can learn and improve with consistent, reward-based training. While early training is ideal, adolescent and adult dogs can make significant progress with structured guidance.

What training methods does Planet Pup use?

Planet Pup uses reward-based, science-led training methods focused on positive reinforcement. This approach builds trust, motivates your dog to learn willingly, and creates long-term behaviour change without punishment or fear.
