How We Raise Our Puppies

We raise our puppies in our family home using Puppy Culture protocols. Puppies are given a head start through Early Neurological Stimulation that promotes brain development. Our puppies are exposed to everyday life from birth - our children,

other dogs and our cat. When they are old enough they will be allowed to explore our large yard in view of our horses, goats and chickens. All of these interesting sights, sounds and smells enrich their mental development. Being raised in our home desensitizes them to normal household sounds like vacuums, TV, radio ect.

From an early age we begin potty training the puppies so they will transition to your home smoothly. We are committed to making socialization a priority during the early critical development periods of a puppy. To ensure our puppies are thriving we take their weights daily for the first few weeks. Beginning on Day 3, Early Neurological Stimulation starts and continues until Day 14. Daily each puppy will go through 5 exercises, only lasting 5 seconds each, that have shown to have lifetime effects such as:

Stronger heart beats
Improved cardio vascular performance
Greater resistance to disease
Stronger adrenal glands
More tolerance to stress

The 5 Early Neurological Stimulation exercises include:

Rubbing the puppy's paw, between the toes,

with a Q-tip

(Tactile Stimulation)

Holding the puppy in an upright position

with head held erect for five seconds

Holding the puppy on its back

(Supine position) for five seconds

Holding the puppy with head pointed

down for five seconds

The Transitional period begins when you have completed the puppies daily ENS (Days 3-16), their eyes and ears are open and they are beginning to toddle around the whelping pen.
