My Story
From a very young age I was obsessed with dogs, putting a puppy at the top of my Christmas present list every year! I had to wait quite a few years until my wish came true, when I got a West Highland White Terrier puppy named Topsy and she was an amazing family pet for 16 years. I currently have an 18month old German shepherd called Indie, who is my 2nd German shepherd and has been my inspiration to want to help puppy owners or advise future puppy owners. Over the past few years I have researched, read numerous books, completed an ADTB (Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour) diploma in dog behaviour and puppy level instructors course, spoken to breeders, attended puppy classes and agility sessions, worked with a Police Dog Handler, attended dog hydrotherapy and physiotherapy, completed a dog first aid course and helped my sister with her 2 rescue dogs. It was during the last 6 months that I noticed I was naturally offering basic, general advice to colleagues and friends who at times were finding it hard to deal with their new addition and my advice was helping them. Unfortunately I was also hearing about people who were getting rid of young dogs because they were "too boisterous" and wished I had been able to see if I could help......and so I worked on starting Puppy Parenting. I am not a behaviourist, so if your dog has a specific behavioural problem, such as dog aggression, I would advise you to contact a dog behaviourist. What I can offer is basic, practical advice on how to raise, socialise, housetrain and care for your puppy or young dog. When you're in the middle of a busy life and a puppy comes along it can all feel a bit overwhelming and you just need that breathing space and one to one friendly chat to help you through it. Some simple techniques can make life so much easier with a pup but they don't always come naturally, although make sense once you know them! Please contact me if you have a puppy / young dog or are thinking about getting one. The earlier the better, particularly with regards to their socialisation which is so important between 4 and 12 weeks of age, so as soon as you get your pup (which shouldnโt be any earlier than 8 weeks of age), give me a call!
I would love to meet you and hopefully help you enjoy and prepare for those important early months with your puppy.
