Day 3-16, each newborn puppy is handled individually and treated to a series of 5 exercises or stimuli (Bio-sensory Training)—The impact of those exercises will boost the neurological system into action much earlier than it naturally would. Puppies are weighed every day to make sure they are getting enough Mom’s milk to grow.

At three weeks, we start puppy socialization by exposing puppies to different sounds—babies crying, loud television, vacuuming, thunder—to help them adapt to different situations they will encounter.

At four weeks, we introduce your puppy to grooming—first bath, ear cleaning, blow dry and the sounds of clippers.

At 4-5 weeks, puppies begin to ween from Mommy, and start eating puppy mush—the first semi-solid food that nursing puppies will have. Ours is a combo of Fromm puppy food and goat’s milk to start. Each week, it will be less milk but added blueberries and ground chuck. Puppies need protein to grow, we make sure the diet is balanced.

At five weeks, a couple of times a day, we take puppies outside where we have a great puppy play area with synthetic K-9 grass and small agility objects.

At six weeks, we begin taking them outside on a schedule, to try to get a jump on potty training.

At seven weeks, puppies are fully weaned, and we begin crate training —as dog owners, we hope you will adopt this in your home. It isn’t punishment (and shouldn’t be used to punish bad behavior). It’s a safe place, as often puppies can feel overwhelmed in a new environment. But the greatest benefit, crates keep puppies and young dogs from destroying things in your home!

At eight weeks, puppies are ready to go home!! You can pick up, or we can arrange delivery with one of our nationwide puppy transporters.
