HOW WE RAISE OUR PUPPIES
FROM THE START
All of our litters are welcomed into the world in our dedicated puppy nursery. For the first two weeks of their lives, I sleep on a cot right beside them every night. This allows me to give each litter my full attention during their most fragile stage and to quickly spot and address any signs of distress before they become an emergency.
As the puppies grow and begin to move around, they “graduate” from their whelping area into a larger space designed to support their development and encourage exploration.
We believe it’s essential to start working with our puppies from just days after birth to give them the best foundation for life. Each litter receives its own tailored training plan, with weekly goals to support their growth and learning.
From days 3–16, we introduce Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to boost their resilience, adaptability, and sensory development.
By the time they’re 5–6 weeks old, we begin teaching basic manners and early training skills to prepare them for their forever homes. This includes potty training, learning their names, crate training, “puppy puppy puppy” recall, and other foundational manners.
By the time they head home at 8 weeks old, each puppy has already begun their journey toward becoming a confident, well-adjusted companion.
