Personal, practical advice, tailored to you
Choose the option that works best for you and your puppy. For multi-dog households, or any behavioural concerns, an in-person visit may be recommended.
Give Your Puppy the Best Possible Start
The decisions you make before your puppy comes home can shape the months and years ahead.
A puppy’s most sensitive development begins at just a few days old, and lasts until they are 16 weeks of age. Since you’ll be bringing home your puppy at 8-12 weeks of age, you’ll only have a few short weeks to ensure your puppy grows up to be calm, confident, and relaxed around new people, places, and other dogs.
Preparing now means less chance of reactivity as an adult dog.
Book your Puppy Preparation Consultation today and welcome your puppy home with confidence.
