All our puppies are raised using The Puppy Culture Protocol. It is a professional and proven training course, starting at birth, that dramatically shapes a puppy's personality, intelligence, demeanor, and health.

We also use Early Neurological Stimulation which has been proven to increase/strengthen puppy's:

 

• Cardiovascular performance

• Adrenal glands

• Tolerance to stress

• Greater resistance to disease

Starting at 2.5-3 weeks of age we introduce the crate to the puppy area. We want them to get used to being around and in it as much as possible so they dont have a fear of them. Throughout the day I will place treats in the crate so that when they go in they find little unexpected surprises. This helps them to establish a positive feeling associated with the crate. The door is always clasped open so it can't close on them and frighten them at a young age. 

We also introduce a litter/potty area in the puppy pen at 3 weeks. This helps them use their natural instincts to keep their area clean. They usually pick up on it super quickly and know that the potty area is different from their play and sleeping areas. 

starting at 5.5-6 weeks of age I start taking them all outside for potty time 5-6 times per day to get them used to grass and relieving themselves out side. 

 All of these things make the new puppy stage a more seamless process for you and your family!
