Can’t recommend highly enough

Having a boisterous boxer puppy that was growing rapidly was starting to cause concerns for my wife. Solid muscle, full of energy and hard to control. She was walking us, not the other way around.
So a bit of web surfing brought Adolescent Dogs to our attention. Seemed quite expensive at the outset, but reviews were good and we made a commitment to our boxer when we bought her.
From the first enquiry, and the way in which our queries were handled, we started to get more comfortable. And we made a 4 week booking within a few days.
We were also nervous about ‘losing’ our dog for 4 weeks, but from the first meeting with Ola I could tell that our puppy was in safe hands.
From the run-up we were aware that we would get once weekly direct contact, plus weekly updates from Facebook. However that wasn’t the case. We received regular updates and pictures through WhatsApp, and some of the contact was in query to the puppy’s health and well being. For example we had provided a coat that covered her back, but this was through the period of snow and we were informed that this won’t cover her stomach. Ola provided our pup with a better coat through her stay, with advice for us on what to look for in a replacement. The food we had provided was too small for a dog of her size (small kibble), so again we were put on the right track. All in thee right way, and all done with the pup’s welfare in mind.
When we picked the pup up 4 weeks later, we had a 2.5 hour handover to show us how to continue and build upon what had been taught. Another 3 hour handover since then, and another one this weekend because we have one or two minor struggles.
Did we get a perfect dog back? No, but that would be impossible within 4 weeks. We do have a boxer puppy who can walk ‘loose lead’, come when called, has calmed considerably and is far better than we could have imagined. Less stress, calm yet playful puppy and absolutely no regrets for taking this route.
I’m not a review writer as standard, unless there is an exceptional reason for doing so. This is one of those rare instances that fully warrants the time and effort to do so.
