Puppy Home Visits

​

Your puppy training begins the minute your new puppy leaves the safety and security of its breeder’s home. 

​

Our puppy home visits are to encourage the immediate start of good practices for desirable behaviour, training, and socialising your puppy.

​

We can give advice before you bring your puppy home, including:

​

• preparing for your puppy’s arrival,

• introducing the puppy to your family and other animals,

• effective use of dog crates,

• dog bedding & other equipment,

• diet and food choices, 

• home & garden security & travelling, &

• vet checks & vaccinations.

​

The visit normally takes place a few days after your puppy’s arrival.  Lasting about one and half hours, we cover all areas of puppy care leaving you with a good routine to follow to ensure your puppy settles in well and happily.  In that time, we can guide you on how to achieve a house trained, settled, puppy.  Advice to help avoid situations such as separation anxiety, feeding problems, whining & barking, destructive behaviour, jumping up, and more!  With a little encouragement these potential problems can all be avoided in a happy puppy. 

 

We can also provide an “on call” service and will be available to give advice and help.
