The Good News?
- In Alexandria, we’re welcoming pets home in greater numbers than ever before,
- Puppies are coming home to owners who have time and willingness to support their puppy’s needs,
- We want to raise well-adjusted healthy dogs by choosing to be educated dog owners,
- We have the best support systems around us in Alexandria: choice of dog parks, outdoor adventures, excellent veterinarians, dog trainers, groomers, and (you know it) dog walkers and sitters.
We’re saying, “I’m ready to be the best dog owner I can be!”
The Bad News?
- We have great intentions, but our puppies are stumping us,
- Owners are unsure what’s really best in the early months: behaviors? house rules? how do I stop this biting? how much exercise? when to obedience train exactly? how about housetraining, zoomies, crazies, and mischief?
- Puppies without enough structure show behavior needs we don’t know how to handle and we’re struggling,
- Puppies are lacking confidence — and need more socialization — to strangers, sounds, leash walks, other dogs, and normal Alexandria life,
- The older a puppy gets, it’s exponentially harder to make up for lost time to lay the foundations for a calm, well-adjusted dog.
We’re saying, “I’m not sure what to do! Help?”
