Preparation is key!
There are few things more exciting than bringing home a new puppy! But as exciting as it is, it can be a bit scary and overwhelming too.
Don't go into this new relationship unprepared. Being proactive by getting organized before puppy comes home can make a huge difference when talking about starting off your relationship on the right foot.
Our free, Preparing for Puppy video is a great place to start. You'll get a detailed list of suggested items to have ready for puppy's arrival along with recommendations for what to prioritize in the first days of your puppy being home and what to put on the "back burned" for later.
Every new relationship deserves a great start, you and your puppy are no different. And hey, it's free, so you really have nothing to lose!
