A smooth transition from our home to yours is extremely important, so we work diligently to socialize and train from an early age along with mom's help. Puppies are introduced to new animals, handling from family members, surfaces, sounds, toys, etc. to help desensitize and make them more comfortable in a growing environment. We also litter box train them early and it works great! I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Various sounds, Socialization with Other Dogs, Weekly Nail Trims , Puppy temperament evaluation , Puppy pads , Human Interactions , Early socialization, Initial House Training, Noise desensitization, Litter Box Trained, Basic manners, Name recognition , "No" Biting or Chewing, Potty Training, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Various Surfaces, Human Interactions, Various People, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
Protocol when it comes to health is very important to us. Puppies will be dewormed several times, given age-appropriate vaccinations, be examined by our licensed veterinary office, microchipped, and issued a health certificated if travel requires it. Each puppy will come with a pamphlet listing all dates, medications, exams and microchip information to provide for your veterinary records.
We send our puppies home with Registration, Basic obedience & manners, Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Microchip, Vaccination Records, Copy of Health Guarantee, Go-Home Bag, Care Instructions , Vaccinations, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, and AKC Registration.
Dana 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’ll meet at a mutually convenient halfway point to drop off your puppy. Once your application is approved, we’ll coordinate the details for your pick-up day together.
