Puppy Advice/Visits
The majority of vets recommend that you do not take your pup out into the big wide world until at least a week after his 2nd vaccination. In some instances this can mean 14/15 weeks, resulting in your puppy missing out on vital socialisation in this critical period.
We can visit your home when your new puppy arrives and provide advice on the following:
- Socialisation
- Basic training
- House training
- Chewing
- Puppy biting
- Diet
- Playing with your puppy
