Deep dives

Navigating New Dog Ownership

Becoming a new dog owner presents a steep learning curve that includes various aspects such as toilet training, socialization, and teething. Having expert guidance early on can ease the transition, providing support and reliable advice tailored to individual needs. For instance, using both collars and harnesses for walks can enhance safety and comfort, especially for breeds that may be prone to anxiety or escaping. Harnesses distribute pressure more evenly across a dog's body, which is particularly important for puppies still learning how to walk on a lead.
