How Puppy Adventure Club Onboarding Works

  • Begin by completing the New Client Onboarding Form in Time To Pet.

  • A team member visits your home to:

    • meet your puppy

    • walk through your setup and access

    • review your puppy’s needs and developmental stage

    • talk through goals, concerns, and preferences

    • confirm scheduling + membership

    • answer questions

    This visit ensures we are fully aligned before your puppy’s first adventure.

  • After your Meet & Greet, your puppy is ready to join their developmentally matched group.

    We meet puppies exactly where they are and help them build confidence at their own pace.
