What's included

Enrichment and socialization

We use our training experience to assure pups are well adjusted. They are exposed to various textures, noises, and smells. They are also safely introduced to people and various household situations. We provide breed specific training (i.e. introduction to birds for a vizsla - toys for chasing for a Cirneco). I utilize the following enrichment methods: Rules of 7, Noise desensitized , Chew, e.g. Bone, Toys, e.g. Ball, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Touch, pets, and kisses are encouraged during human socialization., Puppy temperament evaluation , We begin potty training along with crate training & believe the two go hand in hand., Traveling in a car, Noise desensitization, Name recognition , "No" Biting or Chewing, Texture Stimulation, Sound Stimulation, and Household Desensitization.
