Welcoming a new best friend into your family is a beautiful experience. Developing your puppy and the relationship that you have with them will lay a strong foundation for a life of harmony with your four legged-friend. During this process it is important for us to remember that you have welcomed a dog into your family. A little being that doesn’t understand our world, or our language, and will do doggy things.

​

Because we speak a different language to them, sometimes the sailing may be a little bit rocky. Our dogs weren’t born into this world automatically knowing how to sit or not to jump. This is where we can help them learn via the avenues of home management and safe handling in a teachable way.

 

During the process of helping them regulate through this big wide world, you will rely on your relationship and communication more than ever.

​

Through our puppy development program we aim to guide you through all of the ups and downs of owning a puppy, not only developing your dog, but also your relationship with your dog.
