Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, throughout your course, you will have saved all the material you need to get started with your puppy training classes.  

The u-TICC Signature Puppies Programme includes the opportunity for you to provide evidence of how you are raising your puppies. Once we have reviewed all of your weekly evidence we will issue a Signature Puppy Certificate for each of the puppies in your litter. 

Astute purchasers ask questions about the activities a breeder has undertaken with their puppies and what better way than to share with them that an independent third party has reviewed the evidence of your activities? The certificates will confirm the puppies have been part of our unique programme of socialisation and habituation and that your entire litter has been awarded u-TICC Signature Puppy status. A truly unique selling point for you!

For subsequent litters, you only need to contact us and for a one-off fee, you can submit evidence and gain Signature Puppy Certificates for each of the new puppies. You will not be required to complete the whole programme again.  

This programme is NOT intended to encourage people to start breeding for financial gain. It is designed to help those who have already decided they are going to breed for the first time, anyone who already breeds their own dogs occasionally, and existing licensed and registered breeders.  

This programme seeks to focus on improving the welfare of the puppies that are going to be born anyway. It is designed to help you raise emotionally and behaviourally well-balanced puppies that can live safely and happily in the modern world, where so much is expected of them. 

We want to ensure that your puppies avoid having to be returned to you, avoid being passed from "pillar to post" on social media, and avoid finding themselves in rescues that are already full to capacity, or worse, being put to sleep because they have behavioural issues. 

We, all too often, see the result of puppies not properly prepared for their life ahead. We deal with the anger, frustration and sadness experienced by both the puppy and the guardian when problems occur, and we want to help prevent this suffering. 

We believe it is much better to prevent problems than treat them later.
