Skip the puppy chaos.
Bring home a finished dog.
One puppy every six months. Hand-picked by the trainer for temperament, raised and trained in our home from eight weeks old, and handed over to you at 6–7 months — house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained and ready for real life.
The first six months shape the next twelve years.
Most behaviour problems we see in adult dogs were set in puppyhood — missed socialisation, inconsistent rules, habits that were cute at ten weeks and a nightmare at ten months. A Finished Dog skips all of that. Every day of those critical early months is spent with a professional trainer, building the dog you actually want to live with.
Two dogs a year. That's it.
Raising a puppy properly is a full-time job, so we only ever have one in the house at a time. No production line, no shortcuts — just one dog getting our complete attention, start to finish.

You don't pick the puppy — the trainer does. After hundreds of dogs, we know what a great family dog looks like at eight weeks old, and it isn't always the cutest one in the litter.
Every puppy is assessed for the traits that make training stick and family life easy. Only a puppy that ticks every box comes home with us.
From waitlist to walking out the door.
Every Finished Dog follows the same path — and you're kept in the loop the whole way through.
Put your name down
Get in touch and we'll book a call to learn about your household, routine, kids, other pets and what you want from a dog. If it's a good fit, you're on the list.
The trainer selects your puppy
When your spot comes up, a puppy is hand-picked for temperament and comes home with us. You'll get the first photos the same day.
Home foundations
Toilet training, crate training, sleeping through the night, handling, name recognition and calm routines. Early socialisation to sounds, surfaces, people and well-mannered dogs.
Obedience & manners
Sit, drop, place, stay and recall. Loose-lead walking, waiting at doors, no jumping, no mouthing, settling on cue. The house rules become second nature.
Real-world proofing
Cafés, beaches, shopping centres, car trips, busy streets and kids. Everything the dog has learned gets tested and strengthened in the places you'll actually take them.
Handover
A full handover session where we teach you every cue and routine, plus a written training guide for your dog. You leave knowing exactly how to keep what's been built.
Ongoing support
You're not on your own once you're home. Message support for the settling-in period, so any questions get answered by the person who knows your dog best.
A dog that already knows the rules.
Not a puppy with potential — a young dog with real, practised skills, ready to slot into your life from day one.
Same puppy. Completely different first year.
