Adoption
For Puppies & Adults

Overview
Adopting is an amazing experience in one's life and companionship like no other.
​
Make no mistake: biting, eating your shoes and the couch, sleepless nights and wet floors are also a part of the process.
​
Globally in Europe, over 50% of adoptions from shelters end up as surrenders within 6 months. Why? Lack of dog knowledge and avoidable mistakes.
​
Let's work together on planning your future life with your pup, quietly and safely at home, in your car, at the beach, in the mountains, to your friends dinners and much more. Ask me about the adoption program.
Who This Support Is For
You may previously have had dogs (or not). Whatever your experience with dogs is, this program is certainly beneficial to ensure your knowledge is up to date and that nothing in the process of adoption was left behind. ​
​
We will go though a bit of theory that you will use for a lifetime, and answer a lot of questions such as:
-
What dog breed is right for my lifestyle?
-
How do I prevent anxiety when I leave home?
-
Did I budget everything accurately?
-
What is the best home setup and equipment for my dog's wellbeing?
-
How do I reinforce and maintain the right behaviours?
-
How do I potty train my pup efficiently?
-
What are the good habits to take and the ones to avoid?
We will cover everything from pre-adoption considerations up to bringing your new pup to his new forever home and follow the first days in their new environment. All of it in the best possible conditions for you, your family and the newly adopted dog.
​
You will get pro tips on what your dog really needs and how to fulfil these needs day after day!
Format
Every dog has unique needs and therefore every program is made to measure. We'll always start with a first strategy session to determine your expectations and needs (approximately 2 hours).
​
This session is usually given in the comfort of your home, which gives me a better perspective of the dog's environment.
