Know how to find the right breed and puppy for you, what questions to ask the breeder or rescue, and how to make sure you have got everything ready for that journey home and your puppy’s arrival.
Preparing to bring a new puppy into your life should ideally start well BEFORE pup arrives, firstly making sure a puppy is actually right for you (and vice-versa!) and then that all important decision…. which breed! And it’s about so much more than appearance. If you’ve done our free 3 steps to harmony course, you’ll know that each puppy brings its own unique blueprint… and breed is an important part of those genes!
Your new puppy will hopefully be part of your life for some 15 years, making the right decision is crucial.
Then you need to find the right breeder (or rescue) – that alone can be a minefield! Do you know how to recognise a really good breeder, who has put health, wellbeing and wonderful temperament first when creating and raising their litter? Do you know what questions to ask? The danger signs to watch out for? Or how to choose the right puppy within a litter for you?
We help you navigate this really tricky process as expert support at this stage can save a lot of heartache later!
Once you have made the decision on which puppy will be coming home, getting prepared for their arrival then begins!
Getting this right will help prevent problems and make settling in so much easier, so you can focus on getting to know your new canine companion and really enjoying this really special time, rather than trying to rush round and sort all the things you wish you’d thought about beforehand.
As a team, we have raised so many puppies between us, we know first hand what it is like!
Our Puppy Preparation session can be booked at any stage in your pre-puppy journey and will be different for every person. So whether you have no idea if a puppy is even right for you, or you have already picked pup out of a specific litter and are counting down the days to their arrival, our expert help will help you feel confident and well-prepared.
We focus on what YOU need the most.
