Our Classes

Pre-Pup Advice/Puppy Training

Getting a puppy is an exciting but daunting experience. We offer pre-pup advice to get your home and family ready for the new arrival. Once the pup has arrived this can be overwhelming and home visits are highly recommended for those who wish to get a head start before enrolling into a puppy school. Whatever your puppy training query or need, Pro Dogs will be happy to help. Simply get in touch for advice or to arrange a consultation.
