Brand New Pup?

Let's Get You Started Right!

​

Whether you're feeling gleeful as you gaze at the fluffball in your lap, or a little terrified about what you've just done, a consult will help you make the most of this very special time! Having the right set-up and knowing what to expect are the keys to enjoying puppyhood.

 

• We'll come up with the best way to arrange your home to set your puppy up for success -- minimizing destruction and maximize potty-training success.

• I'll show you what you can be teaching your puppy already, and how easy it is to work those little sessions into your day.

• We'll discuss how to manage your new little alligator, especially if you have kids who begged for a puppy and are now afraid of said puppy's teeth!

• We'll go over what to expect as you introduce leash walks, and how to make sure those experiences are positive for your puppy.

• We’ll discuss the best products for your situation (gates, crates, toys, collars, food, books).

• We’ll take a look at your family schedule, and set up a routine that’ll bring out the best in everyone.

• I’ll explain the all-important puppy socialization window, and guide you on how to gently and safely expose your pup to new things.

• We'll focus on any special questions or concerns you have.
