Why it’s worth it
Choose the right dog, not just the most appealing one.
Most people spend more time researching a washing machine than preparing for a dog.
One hour with an expert now saves months of frustration later, and gives your dog the best possible start with you. Choosing badly is the single most expensive mistake in dog ownership, for you and for the dog.
What we cover
Everything you need before day one.
Straight, practical answers from people who have heard every question, not textbook theory.
01
Breed confirmation
We review your quiz results and your lifestyle in detail, so the breed you’re considering is genuinely the right fit.
02
Breeder or rescue
An honest look at your options. What to look for, what to avoid, and how to find a dog given the best possible start.
03
Setting up for success
The equipment you actually need, what to ignore, and how to prepare your home and routine.
04
Day one foundations
The habits that matter most in the first days and weeks, and how to build them without stress.
05
Your questions
Bring anything. No question is too basic.
On the day
An honest conversation about your real life.
We’re not here to tell you what you want to hear. We’re here to make sure you go home with the right dog for your actual life, not the idealised version of it.
What to bring
Nothing formal. Just be ready to talk honestly about how active you are, your home, who you live with, your experience with dogs and what you’re hoping for.
Your quiz results
If you’ve done our breed finder, bring your results. Choosing between breeds? Tell us in advance and your trainer will come prepared.
How long it takes
Sixty minutes, which is enough to go into real detail. Arrive a few minutes early so you’re settled.
No wrong answers
Only ones that lead to the wrong dog. The more honest you are, the better the advice we can give.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have taken the breed finder quiz?
No, but it helps. If you have your results, bring them and we will go through them with you. If not, we will cover the same ground in the consultation.
I already have a breed in mind. Is it still worth it?
Yes. We will make sure that breed genuinely fits your lifestyle, and help you prepare properly for the first days and weeks.
Is there a discount on puppy training afterwards?
Yes. You get 10% off any puppy package bought after attending your consultation.
Where does the consultation take place?
At your nearest centre: Tingley, serving Leeds and Wakefield, or Sheffield at High Hazels Park.
