If you’re unsure where to start, this gives you direction before anything begins.
The decisions you make before bringing a puppy home have a lasting impact on their behaviour, development, and long-term wellbeing.
Choosing the right breed, breeder, and timing — as well as setting up the right structure from day one — can make the difference between a calm, well-adjusted dog and one that develops avoidable problems.
Most of the issues we see could have been prevented with the right setup from the start.
"...their knowledge of dogs and the pure love of what they do comes across in bucket fulls...."
This is a personalised 70-minute one-to-one consultation designed to guide you through every key decision before getting your puppy — so you feel confident, informed, and fully prepared.
We will discuss:
- Choosing the right breed and breeder
- Preparing your home and setting the right routine
- Crate training, sleep, and early structure
- How to socialise your puppy properly
- The most common mistakes — and how to avoid them
You’ll leave with a clear, practical plan so you know exactly what to do from day one.
Many of our Puppy Programme clients start here — giving them complete confidence before their puppy even arrives.
