New Puppy Consultation

People tend not to be into prevention and will often await the development of behavioural or training issues before seeking professional advice. This is most unfortunate.

When obtaining a new puppy, there is no need to have them urinate or defecate about the house, whilst learning to be clean. Done effectively house toilet training takes no time at all with no, or very few ‘mistakes’.

Similarly puppies are a blank canvas – much easier to recall train than a dog with experience and repetition of ignoring frantic calling in the park.

Our ‘new puppy’ consultation may be the most important two hours an owner can spend on their dogs future. It is extremely rare that a puppy which has been seen by our practitioners to ever need a behavioural consultation later in adulthood.
