Why HonestDog?
What makes HonestDog different from other platforms
Full transparency
We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Verified breeders, open records
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
Clear vetting criteria
Before a breeder profile goes live, we check identity, club membership or breeding permit, and photos of the breeding environment. HonestDog puts you in touch with the breeder and doesn't sell dogs itself — we can't guarantee any individual dog.
Less hassle, more time
We've already checked the breeders' documents and gathered the details, so you can skip the endless research and focus on finding the right puppy for your family.

Frequently asked questions
When should I start training my puppy?
As soon as your puppy moves in at around 8 weeks. Young puppies learn fastest in short, positive sessions — don't wait until adulthood.
How long should I train each day?
Several short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes beat one long one. End every session on a success and a reward.
Which basic commands matter most?
Sit, down, stay, come and a reliable "leave it" form the foundation for a relaxed everyday life. Build further exercises on top step by step.
Positive reinforcement or punishment?
Go with reward and patience. Positive training builds trust and is proven to be more effective and less stressful than punishment.
