PUPPY CONSULT
Before your pup is ready to hit the busy streets of New York City, you should consider our new puppy consultation.
We can tell you about the best vets and groomers in the neighborhood, where to get safe, low-cost vaccinations, how to register your puppy and get a New York City dog license, and where to buy the highest quality products for your new friend. We know every park, dog run, and inch of grass in your neighborhood, and can provide recommendations about where your pup might do some socializing.
At Harlem’s Happy Hounds, we’ll help you raise your puppy from the beginning!
We’ll spend time with her/him, ensuring that she or he is comfortable. Since stimulation and activity are so important for young puppies, we’ll play with your pup, introducing toys that will help foster development.
We’ll also make sure that your dog has enough food and water, and we will even replace messy wee-wee pads for no extra charge.
We can supervise as your toilet train your puppy, giving you tips and tricks from our more than ten years of experience.
After your puppy is comfortable with humans, they will need to interact with other canines to gain the social skills necessary to grow into a good adult dog. We can oversee your puppy’s initial interactions with dogs, both big and small. Socializing and playtime are important when instilling basic obedience and good puppy manners and behavior.
We’ll also help introduce your new friend to other animals in the family.
We can’t wait to meet your happy hound…let us help you get started.

PUPPY PROFILE
After a few months of living in his new home, his parent was heartbroken to admit that her lifestyle was too busy and unpredictable, and it was best to have “Lady” become part of a new family.
HHH was happy to assist in not only finding “Lady” a new home that would be the best fit for an active and intelligent adolescent dog, but we also were able to address the changes and challenges of his new world.
No longer a solo city dog, “Lady” found his new home with a family on Long Island with three other older dogs. He would need to learn a higher level of socialization and his new parents would need a proper plan for their new high energy baby.
Ten years later, “Lady” is one of the healthiest and happiest hounds we have ever helped.
He has faced new challenges along the way and Harlem’s Happy Hounds were there to assist and train, even after he left the uptown streets of Manhattan.
With new natural elements introduced into his life, HHH was there to address any of his special needs as a highly motivated (and food driven) young dog, and even helped “Lady” conquer his fear of the ocean, since he was now a lucky little guy with a summer home in Fire Island.
In the coming years, the loss of his older siblings and the addition of a new puppy into the family, both proved to be times when “Lady” needed some updated training to find his place in the pack.
Feeling the sadness of losing his leader-brother was tough on him and through creating new rituals and habits “Lady” was able to move through the changes in a positive way. Which made him all the more ready to learn to become the teacher to his new baby brother and eventually maturing into the ‘top dog’.
“Lady” became a part of the Harlem’s Happy Hounds family ten years ago and we are so proud to continue our relationship with this dynamic little man and his entire family.
