What is a Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation?

A Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation is a one-on-one private in-home consultation where Shane Gentry will assess your lifestyle, your personality, home environment, schedule, and long-term goals to help you choose the right puppy for your needs. Are you a lap dog kind of person? Are you an active, outdoorsy person? Do you have the room for that Great Dane? When choosing a puppy, many soon-to-be-owners want the “cutest” one of the bunch. However, the cutest one might not match with what you want long term. It’s sort of like dating!

All dogs come with personality too – so we can assess what type of dog personality would match yours. Some dogs are very happy, hyper, and active – while others may be more protective, laid back, or calm. With Shane’s extensive background in dog behavior and dog breeds, he can assist clients in choosing a breed that fits! When it comes to picking the right breed, a certified and experience trainer can make all the difference.

Puppy training

How your puppy learns

Your puppy will learn very quickly, so it’s important that they learn how to behave correctly right from the start.

Dogs learn by association, so if your puppy does something great reward them. Then the action is more likely to be repeated. But the reward must be linked to the action, so they must be rewarded swiftly, within a couple of seconds. The reward itself can be praise or a few kibbles of puppy food or even both.

Your puppy needs to be taught what they can and cannot do. Many harmless behaviors can be overlooked, but possibly dangerous ones need to be handled right away by interrupting their behavior with a sharp “no” to get their attention ? be sure to reward them when they stop and pay attention to you. Hitting or shouting will not help your puppy learn.
