What's included
Enrichment and socialization
Our puppies are socialized right in our home. They get one-on-one interactions with kids and adults. When they are old enough they are exposed to other dogs, making them ready for homes that already have pets. They also are exposed to loud noises in the home and gunfire from a distance helping them prepare for a hunting home. Once vaccinations start they begin visiting with other adults and the outdoors. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) , Touch, pets, and kisses are encouraged during human socialization., Litter Box Trained, All our puppies are exposed to new sights, sounds, smells, surfaces, big dogs, small dogs, adults and children and get regular indoor and outdoor exercise and mental stimulation., We expose our puppies to many different sounds (doorbells, fireworks, barking dogs, children playing, men talking, horns, motorcycles, etc.). By doing this it helps to desensitize them to many things which may otherwise trigger a negative response in puppies., gun shots, exposure to agility tunnel, wobble board and other novel items, Early stages of crate training, Outdoors (when Weather permits), Noises , Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, and Household Desensitization.
Puppy health practices
Our pups receive all vaccinations recommended at 6 weeks of age, they are dewormed with veterinarian schedule until homed, they receive a full health check-up before they leave our home, and have a 100% genetic guarantee.
