A written settling in plan, including videos
This is a handy reminder of what to do and can also be shared with any other members of the family who might not be able to make it to the sessions.

No more confusion!
You'll come away with a clear and realistic plan of how to settle in your new puppy.

Four weeks of email back-up
You will be supported with any questions or struggles.

A deeper understanding of how you can help your puppy settle in
so that their first few weeks home feels like fun, rather than stressful.

“The education that Sam provides is amazing!”
