“Discover how Holy, a calm and gentle Labrador, helps puppies settle, learn, and grow with confidence at Chrysidis Pet Care. Licensed home dog boarding and day care in Gateshead, specialising in puppies, anxious, and rescue dogs.”
When welcoming a new puppy into your life, socialisation and learning are at the heart of raising a happy, well-balanced dog. Puppies learn not just from people, but most importantly from other dogs. That’s why at Chrysidis Pet Care in Gateshead, puppies benefit from the steady guidance of Holy — my calm, black Labrador who has become the perfect role model for little ones finding their way.
Why Puppies Need a Role Model Dog
Manners and Boundaries – Puppies are curious, excitable, and often test limits. An older, well-mannered dog helps them understand polite behaviour.
Calm Energy – Dogs mirror each other’s behaviour. A calm dog teaches puppies to settle, relax, and feel secure.
Play Skills – Puppies need to learn how to play without being too rough. An experienced adult dog shows them when to stop and when it’s safe to keep playing.
Confidence Boost – Being around a balanced dog reduces anxiety and helps puppies feel more at ease in new situations.
Meet Holy – The Heart of Chrysidis Pet Care
Holy is my resident Labrador, a gentle and affectionate companion with a naturally calm temperament. She has a special way of putting anxious or excitable puppies at ease, showing them through her actions how to:
Walk nicely on the lead Rest peacefully in the home environment Interact politely with other dogs Adapt to new spaces without fear
Over the years, Holy has quietly become a mentor figure for puppies that stay with us, helping them grow into more confident, balanced dogs.
One Dog at a Time, Tailored Care
Unlike busy kennels, at Chrysidis Pet Care I work with a one-dog-at-a-time policy (alongside Holy). This means every puppy receives undivided attention, routine, and the benefit of Holy’s calm company. It’s a unique setup — perfect for anxious, rescue, or very young dogs who need extra care and reassurance.
