Holly and Hugo’s unique Pet Adoption course will get you ready for pet adoption by equipping you with the knowledge, tools and resources you need to transition a new pet into your home. We will help you build a positive relationship over the coming weeks and months, so that you can enjoy a lifelong friendship with your new pet. We believe that when it comes to pets, it’s important to be prepared.
From Day 1 this course will get you off on the right paw, and helps you build a paws-itive relationship in the coming weeks and months. For example, it offers practical guidance on bringing the pet home, introducing other fur-family members, and what to expect when the ‘honeymoon’ period ends.
It’s possible the pet comes with problems and insecurities borne of an unstable past, in which case there is advice on building trust and avoiding some common behavioral issues. Of course we also help with the fun stuff such as when and how to change their name, bonding with your new pet, and how to approach basic training. Pet adoption is a wonderful decision, let us help you with practicalities.
