Bringing a new puppy home is one of life’s most exciting moments — but it can also feel overwhelming. The New Puppy Program gives you the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to navigate those first crucial weeks with clarity instead of chaos. Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or it’s been a while since you had a puppy, this programme ensures you start on the right paw.

Why this service

Why families choose this programme.

Be prepared, not panicked

Getting a puppy is exciting — but also overwhelming. We give you a clear roadmap so you feel confident from day one, not second-guessing every decision.

Personalised to your situation

A 1:1 consultation means the advice is tailored to your home, your lifestyle, and your specific puppy — not generic tips from the internet.

Covers everything

From choosing the right breed to toilet training, crate setup, socialisation plans, and managing nipping — we leave no stone unturned.

Available online or in-person

Getting a puppy but don't live in Edinburgh? No problem. We offer online consultations that are just as thorough and personal.

Happy clients

Don't just take our word for it. Hear from real dog parents.

We had the consultation two weeks before our puppy arrived and it was the best decision we made. We felt so prepared — and when the inevitable chaos hit, we had a plan.

Common questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Can I do this before my puppy arrives?

Absolutely — in fact, that's the ideal time. The more prepared you are before your puppy comes home, the smoother those first weeks will be.

Is the online consultation as good as in-person?

Yes. We've designed the online consultation to be just as thorough and interactive. Many of our clients are preparing for a puppy while living outside Edinburgh, and the online format works brilliantly.

What breeds or ages does this cover?

This programme is designed for any breed of puppy. Whether you're getting a tiny Chihuahua or a Labrador, the fundamentals are the same — and we tailor the specifics to your pup.

Do you cover crate training?

Yes — crate training is one of the key topics. We'll explain why crate training works, how to introduce it gently, and how to avoid common mistakes that create negative associations.
