PRE-PUPPY CONSULTATION
Choosing the right breeder or rescue can feel overwhelming, but it’s also one of the most important decisions you’ll make when bringing a dog into your life.
Starting with the right foundation helps set both your dog and your family up for long-term success.
This consult is designed to help you make an informed, responsible decision before bringing your new dog home.
Who is this for?
- Anyone wanting to avoid common mistakes before bringing a puppy home
- First-time dog owners
- Experienced owners adding a new dog to the family
- Anyone who has not yet acquired a dog and wants help making the right choice
- Families trying to choose the right breed, breeder, or rescue
What we’ll cover
- Choosing a breed that fits your lifestyle, goals, and expectations
- How to find an ethical breeder or responsible rescue
- Red flags to watch for when searching for a puppy or dog
- Questions to ask breeders and rescues
- Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy
- Setting realistic expectations for puppyhood and early training
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and get honest, practical guidance so you can move forward with confidence.
Why this matters
Choosing the right breeder or rescue has a lasting impact. Starting with the right dog often means:
- A temperament that better fits your family
- Fewer genetic health concerns
- Fewer behaviour challenges later on
- Better long-term success and support
- More peace of mind in your decision
A little guidance early on can save a lot of stress later.
Why work with me?
I’m passionate about helping owners make thoughtful, informed decisions before bringing home a new dog.
There is a lot of misinformation around breeders, rescues, and what “responsible” really looks like. Many people unintentionally make decisions that lead to frustration, heartbreak, or long-term behaviour challenges. Through this consult, I help you understand what to look for, what to avoid, and how to choose a dog that truly fits your life.
I hold a Diploma in Canine Behaviour Science and Technology, am an IAABC Accredited Dog Trainer, and use ethical, science-based training methods focused on long-term success. A little guidance early on can save a lot of stress later!
Bonus
Clients who complete a Pre-Puppy Consult and move forward with an ethical breeder or rescue based on my recommendations will receive 10% off their first training package (valid within your dog’s first year), because setting your puppy up for success starts long before training begins!
