About Us

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PUPPY

Choosing the right puppy and providing early training and socialisation is crucial to keeping puppies in their homes for life. At Adolescent Dogs, we help families make informed decisions when selecting a puppy, ensuring a well-matched companion that is well-behaved and a joy to live with.

Did you know? Puppies purchased from reputable breeders, paired with families that receive guidance in choosing the right match and are supported with proper training, are far less likely to end up in rescue centres.

Breed selection: We help you choose the right breed for your family based on temperament and energy levels.

Reputable breeders: Receive a curated list of trusted breeders to contact

Puppy selection guide: We provide a list of red flags and important questions to ask when visiting a litter

Early training: we offer residential training packages for puppies as early as 8 weeks

How we can help

Why Choose Us?

Many dog owners unintentionally purchase puppies from unreliable breeders, leading to poorly socialised puppies with behavioural problems.

Sadly, these issues can result in rehoming, with many dogs ending up in shelters. Our mission is to prevent this by ensuring owners start off with a well-bred, well-socialised, and well-trained puppy that becomes a lifelong companion.

Our Puppy Training Services:

Early Socialisation (8 to 12 weeks): Our pre-vaccination socialisation programme introduces puppies to positive experiences with children, adults, cats, vaccinated dogs, traffic, sounds, grooming, and more. We also help establish a toilet training routine and introduce basic commands like sit, down, and polite greetings.
Obedience Training (from 12 weeks): We start formal training with lead walking, recall, settling at home and in public places, polite greetings, staying on command, leaving items, fetching, waiting at doorways, and meeting other dogs politely.

Puppy Socialisation

Our Puppy Socialisation Package is designed for puppies aged 8 to 12 weeks, guiding them through their critical early socialisation period.

We ensure your puppy gets the best start by providing positive experiences with vaccinated dogs, cats, children, livestock, traffic, and new environments. We can also start important toilet training and sleep training routines.

This helps your puppy grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog. Perfect for families who may not have the time or experience to manage this important stage of development.

Puppy Training

Our puppy training program is designed for puppies from 12 weeks old, following their vaccinations. During their stay, we introduce essential obedience cues like sit, down, middle, leave, and bed. We focus on lead training and building a strong early recall, while also continuing their toilet and sleep training.

Your puppy will experience positive socialisation in various environments, helping them grow into a confident, well-behaved companion. They’ll learn to navigate the world, interact calmly with other dogs on walks, greet visitors at home with ease, and develop essential household manners

Why Early Training Matters:

Starting training and socialisation from the beginning helps shape your puppy’s lifelong behaviour and temperament. Puppies don’t grow out of unwanted behaviours—they grow into them!

Our early training programme ensures your puppy has the best start, and we empower you with the knowledge and skills to continue their education into adulthood.

At least half of our residential stays are dedicated to puppies, making this a key part of our service.
