🏠 Home-Raised & Expertly Socialized
- Home Environment: All puppies are raised in our home, not in separate kennels or buildings, ensuring they're comfortable with household sounds and activities
- Extensive Socialization: Our puppies experience diverse people, pets, and activities to prepare them for their new life with your family
🎓 Advanced Pre-Training Program
We believe the first weeks of life are crucial for your puppy's future success. Our comprehensive pre-training program combines foundation building with practical skills to ensure your baby develops into a confident, well-adjusted companion:
🧠 Foundation Building & Early Development
- Positive Stress Exposure: Carefully controlled exposure to mild stresses and new experiences that build resilience and confidence
- Environmental Enrichment: Stimulating and varied puppy spaces with rotating toys, textures, and obstacles that promote cognitive development
- Comprehensive Sensory Training: Systematic exposure to diverse sights, sounds, smells, and textures that prepare puppies for real-world experiences
- Social Development: Interaction with different people, children, and other animals to build proper social skills
- Handling & Touch Desensitization: Regular gentle handling of paws, ears, mouth, and body to prepare for grooming and veterinary care
Why This Foundation Matters:
This early development work means your puppy arrives home already comfortable with:
- ✓ New environments and changes in routine
- ✓ Different people, including children and strangers
- ✓ Household noises like vacuum cleaners, doorbells, and TV sounds
- ✓ Grooming activities and vet examinations
- ✓ Car rides and travel experiences
- ✓ Various surfaces like hardwood, carpet, grass, and gravel
🏠 Crate Training Mastery
- Pre-Home Crate Training: Every puppy is thoroughly crate-trained with their Snuggle Puppy and toys before coming home, providing you with these incredible advantages:
- Excellent eating habits - they eat meals in their crates
- Most puppies sleep through the night by adoption day
- Potty training is well underway with established routines
🔬 Health & Quality Assurance
- Health Testing: All parent dogs undergo comprehensive health testing with guaranteed pedigree documentation
🎯 Lifetime Training Partnership
- Bella & Baxter Training: We've partnered with Bella & Baxter to offer families discounted access to comprehensive at-home training. This doodle-centric program covers everything from your puppy's first day home through advanced training - one fee for lifetime access
🤝 Community & Transparency
- Facebook Family Group: We encourage our families to connect through our private Facebook group where they can ask questions, share experiences, and watch their puppies' littermates grow up together
- Ongoing Support: We love receiving "pupdates" from our families - it's the highlight of our day!
