Have you just reserved or got your puppy home and suddenly found yourself overwhelmed with everything you need to do so your puppy grows into a confident, calm, happy, well-mannered dog! Maybe your worried about getting it wrong.
Are you wondering:
Bringing a puppy into your home is one of the most exciting decisions you'll make. They are cute and fun.
But most new puppy guardians make mistakes in how to raise their puppy resulting in future challenges that can simply be avoided if they just KNEW the right information.
Did you know that most problem behavoiurs START DURING THE FIRST 10 MONTHS of your dogs life?
Expect fun, and lots of it! It’s scientifically proven that we all learn more when we’re having fun, and that’s no different for your puppy.
Teaching life skills like lead walking, recall, toileting in the right place and respecting boundaries are of course important. But the most important thing to focus on with your puppy is your relationship - when you learn to understand and communicate with each other - everything else is much, much easier.
Expect to learn a lot, but to be pleasantly surprised at just how much fun you and your puppy have together each week… and watch those lessons happily flow into day to day life.

The socialisation period is a period of puppy development. The socialisation period begins when the puppy’s eyes first open, at the breeder’s and it is at a peak from around 5-12 weeks.
Most people bring their puppies home at 8 weeks of age, that gives you just 4 weeks to accomplish EVERYTHING before the period starts to come to an end..........Yikes!
The experiences your puppy has during it's first 12 to16 weeks of life, play a major role in their development. Research has shown that these experiences can actually alter the pup’s neural pathways; rich experiences can increase the size and complexity of their brain (Coppinger, 2001). Whether you want a pet dog or a competition dog, the next 4 to 8 weeks can make or break the quality of your life with your dog.
