(Created by Robin Bates, expert dog behaviourist & lifelong dog lover)
💭 Just brought home your new best friend?
Or counting down the days until puppy paws are pattering across your floor?
Then you already know: puppy life is adorable… but it’s also a whirlwind of questions:
- “Why won’t they settle in their crate?”
- “Am I feeding them the right amount?”
- “How do I stop accidents in the house?”
You’re not alone — every new puppy parent feels that mix of excitement and “what now?” panic.
That’s exactly why I created The Puppy Starter Kit — your easy, positive, and practical guide to getting things right from the start.
Hi, I’m Robin Bates-Leading Dog Trainer & Behaviourist in Northern Ireland
With over 21 years of hands-on experience, I am recognised as one of Northern Ireland’s leading experts in dog behaviour and training. My journey began with my first Airedale Terrier, Cassie, at a local dog club — a hobby that quickly became a lifelong passion. Within a few years, I became an instructor, later representing the Northern Ireland Obedience Team and competing at Crufts with Poppy.
Over two decades, I have personally helped more than 15,000 dogs and their owners build better communication, confidence, and connection. My work spans from puppy training and socialisation to resolving behavioural issues such as reactivity, anxiety, and aggression. In 2025, I was recognised as one of the top three best-rated dog trainers for the 5th year running.
