New Dog Owner Consulting: Pre-Arrival Puppy Preparation Sessions
New puppy owners make costly mistakes through lack of preparation. A consultant sets up their home and routines before the dog even arrives.
A consultancy service for families and individuals preparing to bring home a puppy or young dog. The consultant assesses the home, recommends appropriate supplies, establishes a basic routine and educates the owner on key topics โ safe environment, feeding, socialisation windows, and training fundamentals. The service works in-person and online. Revenue comes from hourly consultations, with most clients completing multiple sessions.
Most new dog owners acquire a puppy on impulse and only discover after the fact what nobody told them โ how to puppy-proof their home, what they actually need to buy, and how to establish the right habits from day one. Mistakes made in those first weeks can persist for months.

Pet ownership in the UK has risen sharply since 2020 and owners are increasingly willing to spend on professional services. The PFMA reports over 13 million dogs in UK households โ premium advisory is a natural part of this trend.
