How we raise our puppies: BIRTH TO 8 WEEKS

EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION

From day 3 to 16, we use Early Neurological Stimulation, also known as ENS. This was developed by the US Military for working dogs. It includes: Tactile stimulation, head held erect, head pointed down, supine position(on its back), and thermal stimulation. This is done briefly, once a day. This is done in addition to normal interaction and cuddles. So what are the benefits? Healthier puppies, and puppies who are more tolerant of stress.

PUPPY CULTURE

We also utilize Puppy Culture from birth to 8 weeks of age. This is a program that helps set puppies up for long term success in real life. It is a detailed, and specific way to socialize, introduce puppy foundation training, create communication, and prevent problem behaviors.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE

What makes us different than the rest? You have two experienced trainers addressing potential problem areas before they ever arise. We focus on laying a solid foundation that sets you up for success.


Some highlights are: potty training begun, introduction to crate training, multiple car rides to avoid car sickness, puppy bite inhibition, environmental exposure, dog socialization, people socialization, introduction to luring and obedience training, introduction to learning how to play appropriately with toys and retrieves, and much, much more!
