Our puppies are raised in our home using the Puppy Culture Program. We put a lot of care into socializing our puppies so they can transition easily and will be well-adjusted pets. Puppies get a head start on house training using natural pellets and shavings. They're introduced to crate training, and loads of people and situations to best prepare them for their new homes. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Introduction to crate training, We start house training, We introduce collar and leash training, Noise desensitization, Human Interactions , Water Introduction, Dog door, Car Training , Biosensor Training, Puppy Culture , Clicker Training, Potty Training, and Puppy Culture.
Puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 7 weeks' of age. Puppies receive first veterinary exam, including clear fecal results. They are microchipped, get their 1st round of vaccinations, flea/tick treatment, and are sent home with the first month's Rx from our veterinarian for Heartworm.
We send our puppies home with Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Basic obedience & manners, Microchip, Registration, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Microchipped , Vaccinations, AKC Registration, Toy with Mom's Scent, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Puppy Starter Kit, Puppy Collar, and Food Starter Bag.
