We have several play yards set up with different obstacles and challenges for puppies to master by 8 weeks. We have an owner/trainer with the puppies 24/7. We raise the puppies with the Puppy Culture/Rules of 7 theories. All get started in crate training and swim before they leave. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture, Sound Stimulation, Potty Training, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Outdoors, e.g. rain, Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Socialized with Children, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
Puppies are vet checked at 7 weeks. They get their first vaccinations and are dewormed.
We send our puppies home with Early Neurological Stimulation, Vaccinations, Puppy Collar, Food Starter Bag, and AKC Registration.
Peri offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We don’t ship puppies but we can meet you at our closest airport. You are also always welcome to pick up in person.”
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
