Pre-Ownership Counseling
$65/hr
Thinking about adding an addition to your family? If you are single, a couple or a family having a qualified trainer help you in your decision making on getting a dog or puppy might be the best investment you can make. So often dogs/puppies are introduced into situations and they are not good match for you or your family and are often returned or relinquished back to the breeder or shelter. Daphne will go over breed selections with you, discuss your lifestyle and what breed type would best match it, financial commitments, training commitments and personal time commitments. She will even go with you to a breeder, rescue or shelter to evaluate the dog/puppy and give objective advice on what would be best for you.
