Dog Ownership Support Sessions: Helping You and Your Dog Thrive
Hi, I’m Del, and I know firsthand how exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—it can be to welcome a new dog into your home. Whether it’s your first puppy, a rescue dog finding their forever family, or even if you’ve had dogs before but need extra guidance, I’m here to help.
With years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds, I’ve designed my Dog Ownership Support Sessions to provide you with everything you need to raise a happy, healthy, and well-behaved dog. Let’s dive into how I can support you and your furry companion!
Bringing Home Your New Best Friend
Getting a dog is one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it can also come with challenges. From preparing your home to understanding their unique needs, there’s much to consider.
That’s where my Pre-Arrival Support Sessions come in. We’ll cover:
- How to prepare your home for a new puppy or rescue dog.
- Essential supplies, from the right bedding to enrichment toys.
- Creating a safe space for your dog to relax and settle in.
If you’ve already brought your dog home, my Post-Arrival Sessions are designed to help you navigate those crucial first weeks. I’ll guide you on establishing routines, crate training, and managing behaviours like nipping or jumping.
Why Personalised Support Matters
Every dog is different, and every family has unique needs. That’s why my sessions are tailored specifically to you and your dog. Whether you’re dealing with a bouncy puppy, a shy rescue, or a stubborn older dog, we’ll work together to build a plan that works for both of you.
During our sessions, we’ll cover:
- Positive reinforcement techniques that strengthen your bond.
- Tips for practical house training and socialisation.
- Solutions for common challenges like barking, chewing, or leash pulling.
I know that a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work for dogs, so I take the time to get to know you and your pet. Together, we’ll create a supportive and enjoyable environment where your dog can thrive.
Supporting High-Energy Dogs and Rescues
As someone who has owned and worked with high-energy breeds like collies and German shepherds (many of them rescues), I understand how important it is to channel their energy into productive activities. Dogs like these need physical exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and balanced.
There may also be an adjustment period for rescues as they settle into their new homes. I offer practical advice and support to help them feel safe and secure, including tips for managing anxiety, building trust, and introducing them to new environments.
How My Sessions Work
My Dog Ownership Support Sessions are designed to fit seamlessly into your busy life. Whether you’re in Finchley, Muswell Hill, or surrounding areas, I’m here to provide convenient and stress-free guidance.
We’ll start with an initial consultation to assess your dog’s needs and your goals as an owner. Based on that, I’ll create a tailored plan covering everything from training techniques to enrichment activities.
Sessions can be held in your home, outdoors, or even via video call if that’s more convenient for you. Flexibility is key—after all, life with a dog is rarely predictable!
