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!
-
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 that learning 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.
