Everything you need to navigate REAL-LIFE with a puppy, with expert help, in a supportive, safe group, alongside behaviourist Lisa’s journey with her own rescue pup Rupert, right from 6 weeks old. There is no better group learning.
Experiencing your puppy grow up is one of the most magical, rewarding, fascinating, but (and, let’s be honest here) tiring and frustrating parts of life with your dog. It is also incredibly important as it sets the foundations for a happy, harmonious life together…. as long as you get it right!
We believe that everyone should have access to expert, industry leading advice, showing how it works in real day-to-day life, and which offers a safe, supportive space to share your own puppy journey too.
We’ll be on hand to help you at every step.
This is a ‘PAY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD’ group to ensure it is available to everyone.
Just enter the amount you wish to pay per month in the box and click on the yellow button.
You can stay in the group for as little or as long as you like, no minimum period.
Usual price per month: £35
We take you beyond puppy books and training classes and show you REAL day-to-day puppy life, tackling the problems everyone faces with humour, honesty, and common sense!
Whether you have a puppy, or are thinking about getting a puppy, this is the group you will want to be in.
- Do you want to do the very best for your new family member?
- Does all the puppy information out there online confuse you?
- Are you worried about messing up with your puppy?
- Do you want to be prepared for all the stages of your puppy’s development?
- Do you want to prevent problems rather than have to try to sort them later?
- Do you know exactly what you need to do to help keep your puppy happy and healthy?
Life with a puppy is super exciting, and when it is going well, there is nothing better! However, it can be all too easy to end up with problems when distracted by all the cuteness (or when you’re just too tired to think straight any more!). We know all the ways to help set you and your puppy up for success so they develop into the wonderful, happy, healthy adult dog you are looking forward to sharing your life with.
Welcome to the Circle of Tiny Paws.
Join Lisa with her brand new puppy, Rupert, from his arrival into rescue with the rest of his litter at 5 weeks old, and then coming home a couple of weeks later.
The Circle of Tiny Paws will follow his journey, up-close, and you will get to see the real-life highs and lows, frustrations, joys and comedy moments that come with a puppy’s first few months.
All with expert guidance from Lisa and the Canine Thinking team’s resident puppy specialist, Kaye (after all, everyone needs a helping hand, buddy and bit of extra advice when raising a puppy, even professionals!)
You will see his journey to his new home; how his first 24 hours, week, and month unfold; the trials and tribulations of toilet training and socialisation, and learning his dog manners around big sister Bug. You will also see how to prepare for walks and being on the lead; get out and about in ‘Bug’s buggy’ (sorry Bug!); teach useful skills like ‘off’, ‘wait’, ‘drop’ and develop an amazing recall; use stairs; go in the car; manage chewing, biting and little shark-teeth; understand more about diet, vaccines and health; go to the vets, clip nails and tackle post-walk baths; meet people and other dogs; and even start introductions to swimming and physio to manage puppy growing.
In short, anything and everything related to raising a puppy, in real-time and adapting to whatever normal life throws up, just like everyone has to do.
This group is a fully interactive community where you can share your puppy’s journey, ask questions, and show off your puppy’s skills. It’s a safe space to share your worries and frustrations—let’s face it, puppies, no matter how cute, will definitely try your patience every now and again – and to get the expert advice you need to help you move forward confidently.
Come and join us for an incredible puppy experience.
