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!
Why not consider a rescue dog?
The cost of this coaching session is £25 plus 50p travel expenses per mile.
