We’ve always been a nation of dog lovers, but this year our infatuation has moved up a gear. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a boom in dog ownership as people look for the comfort and company of a pet at home. But with many of these owners getting puppies for the first time, there's no end to the challenges that come with these sweet balls of fluff! 12 Puppies and Us charts the ups and downs of a dozen puppies and their families in those first crucial months together. The series explores how the new arrivals develop, learn and adapt to their new worlds, as well as the profound effects they can have on the lives of their human owners. From unexpected loo breaks to first walks and sleepless nights, we follow both the delight and the mayhem a new puppy can bring. And on hand to offer our families expert advice when doggy difficulties get too much is dog behaviourist Louise Glazebrook.
