How it works

 

Our Puppy Selection & Training Process

We take great care in ensuring that our puppies are matched with the right owners, providing both a seamless transition and a fulfilling experience for everyone involved.

 

Step 1: Getting to Know You

 

The process begins with a simple puppy questionnaire, which allows us to gather important details about your home lifestyle, routine, and expectations for your future dog. This helps us understand your needs and ensures we can pair you with a puppy that best suits your living environment and requirements.

 

Step 2: Meeting Us & The Dogs

 

Once we receive your completed questionnaire, we invite you to visit us in person. This is an opportunity for you to meet the potential mating pairs, get a sense of their temperament, and see where the puppies will be raised and trained. We encourage interaction, as it helps future owners feel confident in their choice and fosters an early connection with their puppy's lineage.

 

Step 3: Joining Your Puppy’s Journey

 

We believe that future owners should be actively involved in their puppy's development. Similar to those taking home a puppy at nine weeks old, you will be invited to choose your puppy at around five to six weeks of age, alongside the other owners selecting from the same litter. This allows you to be part of their early journey, seeing how they grow and interact within their environment.

We will then continue to raise and train your puppy to the desired age—anywhere between six and eighteen months, depending on your personal preference and training goals.

Step 4: Staying Connected

Throughout this period, we ensure that you remain connected to your puppy’s progress. We offer:

  • Regular updates on training milestones and development
  • Opportunities to visit—whether for lessons or simply to see how your puppy is getting on
  • Chances to join us in Norfolk, where you can spend time bonding with your dog

 

Pricing & Care

 

Our comprehensive training and care package costs £1,250 for four weeks (£312.50 per week). This fee covers all essential needs, including:

  • Professional training tailored to each puppy’s development stage
  • Nutritional support, ensuring a balanced and healthy diet
  • Ongoing care and attention, maintaining a nurturing environment

By the time your puppy is ready to join you, they will be well-trained, confident, and fully prepared for their new home and future work.
