Nathan’s Paw Care in Collaboration with Nathan’s Paw Training are pleased to announce our:

🐶 Pre-Puppy Consultations: Your Guide to a Happy, Well-Adjusted Puppy

Are you excited about bringing a new puppy into your home? It's an incredibly rewarding experience, but preparation is key to ensuring a smooth transition for both you and your new furry friend. At Nathan’s Paw Care Ltd, we offer a comprehensive Pre-Puppy Consultation designed for prospective puppy owners who want to be fully prepared before their new arrival.

With Nathan’s background in positive reinforcement, force-free training, and years of experience in breeding and hand-rearing puppies, he’ll guide you through every step to help you and your puppy start off on the right paw.

Here’s what we’ll cover in our session:

🐶 1. Breed Research:
Not all breeds are the same, and it’s crucial to choose a breed that fits your lifestyle. We’ll discuss your options, considering factors like energy levels, temperament, grooming needs, and potential health issues. This will help ensure you select a breed that’s the perfect match for you and your family.

🐶 2. Canine Body Language:
Understanding how your puppy communicates is essential. Nathan will teach you to read canine body language, helping you recognise when your puppy is happy, anxious, or stressed. This knowledge is key to building a strong bond and preventing behavioural issues.

🐶 3. Toilet Training:
One of the first challenges new puppy owners face is toilet training. We’ll go over effective, kind methods to make this process as smooth and stress-free as possible, for both you and your puppy.

🐶 4. The First Night (Sleeping Plan):
The first night at home can be overwhelming for a puppy. We’ll create a sleeping plan that ensures your puppy feels safe and secure, setting the stage for healthy sleep habits and reducing nighttime anxiety.

🐶 5. Building Confidence:
A confident puppy is a happy puppy. Nathan will show you how to introduce your puppy to new experiences, people, and environments in a way that builds their confidence without overwhelming them.

🐶 6. Starting Socialisation the Right Way:
Proper socialisation is critical during the early stages of a puppy’s life. We’ll discuss how to safely introduce your puppy to other dogs, people, and experiences, laying the foundation for a well-behaved, sociable adult dog.

🐶 7. Management/House Set-Up:
Your home needs to be a safe, welcoming environment for your puppy. We’ll talk about how to set up your space, including the use of crates, baby gates, and safe zones, to help your puppy settle in and stay out of trouble.

🐶 8. Must-Have Purchases:
From the right food to chew toys, bedding, and training aids, Nathan will guide you through the essential items you’ll need before your puppy arrives, ensuring you’re fully equipped for your new adventure.

But don't just take our word for it! Here’s what one of Nathan’s clients had to say about the Pre-Puppy Consultation:

🐶 What we wanted and More! 🐶

‘’We had a pre-arrival Zoom with Nathan too. So far Nathan has been amazing, our puppy has been so receptive to all the training and picked things up really well. Nathan really cares about the dogs and their owners, that is clear to see and nothing is too much trouble for him; help is pretty much always on hand. Thanks Nathan for your help – money certainly well spent and will most likely do some further courses with you.” MK.

Why You Should Choose a Dog Walker (Pet Sitter) with a Valid DBS Check: Ensuring Trust and Security.

When it comes to your dog’s care, trust is paramount. As a responsible dog owner, you’re likely to be selective about who you allow to handle your beloved pet. While factors like experience, insurance, and first aid training are essential, there’s another crucial element to consider: does your dog walker/pet sitter hold a valid DBS check?

In this blog, Nathan will explore why it’s important to hire a dog walker/pet sitter who has undergone this background check, and how it can give you peace of mind…🐾

With the current warm weather, I just thought I'd reshare this blog I wrote about indoor exercise. Don't stress about getting your dog outside, when you can have so much fun together inside! :-)

Indoor exercise vs outdoor exercise! We know dogs need regular exercise, and as dog owners you maybe worried that your dogs aren’t getting enough exercise with the current restrictions on our movements.

💥DON"T FORGET! 💥

With the summer holidays in full swing we are seeing more and more people trying to find suitable accommodation at the last minute for their dogs.

It's so important to remember boarding or day caring for a dog without a licence is against the law and that any insurance an unlicensed business has, will be invalid.

But that's not the only reason you should choose a licensed, home dog boarder.

Here's just a few reasons why licensed is the correct choice for your dog. Licensed dog care providers......

✅ MUST have comprehensive risk evaluations by the council for your dog's safety;
✅ MUST be limited by the council on the number of dogs they can care for at any one time.
✅ MUST undergo property inspections to ensure safety and uphold best practices.
✅ MUST have strict protocols for cleanliness, safety, and disease control
✅ MUST continue to learn to keep their skills updated (CPD)
✅ MUST transport dogs safely
✅ Strive further to guarantee your dog's safety, happiness, and overall well-being

Obtaining a dog daycare or boarding licence isn't a walk in the park, let me tell you!

This is why selecting a licensed provider ensures peace of mind, knowing they've committed to excellence.

You can explore licensed dog boarding or daycare options near you on Yappily - every listed business is confirmed to be licensed, insured, and devoted to your dog's well-being.

We were so sorry to hear that our previous training client Branson, has crossed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge. He was rescued at 12 years old, by his wonderful hooman and they had 4 wonderful years together. We helped him with recall training, so he could have time off lead and also SA training. He was such a special and beautiful boy! Our hearts go out to his family… 🩵🩵 ~ Nathan xx

Can’t recommend MyVetsy and Charlotte enough, we have to have 2 private written prescriptions from our vets each month for Bailey and they’ve recently doubled in price. With Vetsy, written prescriptions are included for free as part of the already low cost consultation fee. Charlotte can liaise with you existing vets, the whole experience is so personable and you get emailed a thorough aftercare plan after your consultation.

Why not give Vetsy a try, especially if you struggle getting your pet to a vet practice.
