1) Choosing the right puppy
So you've decided you want to get a puppy, but what kind of puppy is the right one for your family?
Picking the right puppy isn't as easy as you might think. That beautiful Border Collie you've fallen in love with may seem perfect, but can you cope with a high energy dog that requires hours of walks in all weathers and gets bored easily?
Before you decide to get a puppy please read:
Should You Get a Puppy?
If you are sure you are ready for a puppy but are unsure where to start, let me help you with my Choosing the Right Puppy advice and coaching session. I'll ask you about the type of dog you want, your lifestyle, work, family and home-life and then provide you with information to help you choose a breed you like.
Please note: I won't be picking your puppy nor will I recommend a breeder. My service is to provide you with breed information so you can make your own choice. Please don't consider a puppy if you aren't sure about getting one or can't make the commitment. Furthermore, everyone in the family/household needs to agree to wanting a puppy.
Please know where your puppy comes from or you may be supporting a puppy farm business!
If you think a puppy isn't the right choice for you, why not consider a rescue dog? Plenty of nice dogs to be found at your local rescue or through breed specific rescues.
2) Welcoming a new puppy into your home
Please note: this is not a training session for puppies. The Welcoming a New Puppy to Your Home coaching session is designed to be given before a new puppy comes to your home.
Are you new to having a puppy? Not sure what you need to think about before you bring it home? Then why not take advantage of my Welcoming a New Puppy to Your Home coaching session?
Having a puppy is a wonderful experience, but a serious commitment and one that means you'll have to make some changes in your home and lifestyle. I can help to guide you through what you can do to make growing up easier for both your puppy and yourself. This includes me coming to your home and advising you on 'puppy proofing' where you live.
My service will include:
What you need to buy before the puppy comes home
How to make your house safe for your puppy
What you can do to avoid common puppy problems
Understanding house-training
How to exercise your puppy and the importance of sleep
Providing a healthy diet and weight control
How to get your puppy used to new things
The importance of socialisation
The importance of play in bonding with your dog
Why punishment doesn't work

3) Welcoming a rescue dog to your home
Providing a rescue dog with a loving home is a wonderful thing to do but it is important to understand what this will mean for the dog and your family. Rescue dogs are wonderful (I've had a few in my life) but a dog can often feel unsure and bewildered. My coaching session will help you to understand what you need to do to help your rescue to feel confident, to build trust between you and your dog and what unexpected behaviours could arise.
