Why Hire Us In Advance?

This is arguably one of the most important decisions you'll make so it pays to consult with an educated  certified professional. We can help increase the chances compatibility and success while saving you time and money in the long run.

​

Incompatibility between a human and their dog can lead to stress and heartache for all involved. We want to do everything we can to prevent folks from having to make the excruciating decision to relinquish their dog down the line because it's just not working. Through this program we can have a positive effect on more dogs staying in their homes long-term and people being happy with their canine companion. 

​

The proactive approach to getting a dog starts with putting time, energy, and honest thought into determining what characteristics are likely to be well-matched to your household and lifestyle (current and future). As an experienced third-party we remain objective throughout the process to keep the focus on important stuff that's likely to matter to you when the chips are down. We know the right questions to ask a breeder or adoption agency - what is critical information and what is just noise.

Working with us for both selection assistance and home preparations can save you thousands in the long run by boosting the likelihood of finding the right dog for you and setting everyone up for a less stressful transition.
