Housewarming
Start off on the right paw!
This is part of our “better to be proactive than reactive” approach. Bringing a dog of any age into your home is a big decision and comes with a lot of responsibility.
Do your research and consider what your dog needs and how that will fit into your current lifestyle, rather than altering your lifestyle to suit the dog.
Education, preparedness and understanding are key to keeping our pets out of shelters and having happy fur-ever homes.
This service includes:
Discuss if everyone in the household is on board and ready to take responsibility for the care and consistent training of the dog
Consultation of type/breed and age of dog to best suit your family’s composition, energy level and lifestyle
