A 60-minute "Before Your Puppy Arrives" Preparation Session

A one-to-one video consultation for families who are getting a Doodle puppy in the next 1–8 weeks and want to feel genuinely prepared — not just excited.

Who It Is For

Getting a puppy is one of the most exciting things your family will do. It is also one of the most overwhelming.

Between the conflicting advice online, the long list of things to buy, and the quiet worry that you might get it wrong — it can be hard to know where to start.

This 60-minute video session is designed specifically for families who want to feel genuinely ready. Not just excited — ready.

We will cover everything from setting up your home and building a first-week routine, to preparing your children and avoiding the most common mistakes new Doodle owners make.

You will leave with a clear, personalised plan — and the confidence to enjoy those first weeks rather than just survive them.

What the Session Covers

Part 1 — Setting Up for Success (20 mins)

Part 2 — The First Two Weeks (20 mins)

Part 3 — Your Questions (20 mins)

By the end of the session you will have:

• A written first-week plan emailed to you after the call

• Confidence about exactly what to do when your puppy arrives

• A trusted expert you can come back to when questions come up

Location: Online via Zoom

You will receive a pre-puppy intake form and building a personalised plan post consultation.

1 × 60-Minute Video Assessment + 4 × 60-Minute In-Home Sessions

For families dealing with more complex behaviour — reactivity, fear, anxiety, or aggression — this package gives you the depth of support needed to create lasting, meaningful change. We start with a thorough assessment before any in-home work begins, so every session is purposeful and targeted.

Perfect for:

Families whose dog is showing signs of reactivity, fear-based behaviour, separation anxiety, or aggression, and who want a structured, expert-led programme to work through it properly.

Best for: Dogs showing reactivity, anxiety, fear-based behaviours, or other issues that go beyond basic training.

What's included:

1 × 60-Minute Video Behavioural Assessment: A dedicated consultation to understand the full picture — triggers, history, environment, and emotional state — before we begin any in-person work.

4 × 60-Minute In-Home Sessions: Hands-on, practical sessions in the environment where the behaviour is happening, working through a structured desensitisation and confidence-building programme.

Personalised Behaviour Plan: A detailed written plan after every session outlining exactly what to practise, how to manage situations, and what progress to look for.

VIP Support: Priority WhatsApp support throughout the programme — behavioural work requires consistency, and I am here to help you stay on track between sessions.

Progress Review: A written summary at the end of the programme with recommendations for ongoing support if needed.

Location: Video assessment via Zoom, followed by in-home sessions at your property and local area.
