I utilize the following enrichment methods: Surface & tactile stimulation, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized with children, Car rides, and Various sounds.
Puppies are vaccinated by our licensed veterinarian at 6 weeks old! Dewormed and 2,4,6, and 8 weeks old!
