PUPPY FOUNDATION TRAINING

Give your puppy the best possible start- before problems become habits!

Bringing home your new puppy is exciting, but those first few weeks and months can also feel overwhelming and tiring. There is so much to teach, so much to prepare for and so many decisions to make.

Our Puppy Foundation program is designed to give you and your puppy the knowledge, skills and confidence to get off to a great start.

And our support can even begin before your puppy even comes home.

BEFORE YOUR PUPPY COMES HOME

Your puppy's foundation starts before you pick them up.

Choosing the right puppy and preparing your home can make a huge difference to your experience during those first few weeks and beyond. We can help you feel prepared before your puppy even walks through your doors.

Our pre-puppy guidance can include:

Choosing the right puppy

What to consider when choosing a puppy based on your family's lifestyle, experience and goals.

Finding the right breeder or rescue

Questions to ask and things to look for when evaluating where your puppy is coming from.

What to look for in a puppy

Understanding temperament, confidence, environment and early experience.

Preparing your home

Setting up a safe, practical environment before your puppy arrives.

What you will actually need

Guidance on supplies, equipment and preparing for those first few days.

Your Puppy Preparation Checklist

A practical checklist to help you get organized before bringing your puppy home.

Already have your puppy? No problem! Our Puppy Foundation program can start wherever you and your puppy are right now.

BRINGING YOUR PUPPY HOME

Those first days and weeks with a new puppy can be exciting, exhausting, and sometimes overwhelming. We can help you navigate this important stage with practical guidance and a clear path.

We will build the routines and skills your puppy needs while creating a positive foundation for the years ahead.

PRIVATE PUPPY TRAINING OR PUPPY CLASSES
