Every day we handle each individual puppy and conduct a series of 5 different exercise. These exercises produce neurological stimulation early on that wouldn't naturally occur. This tends to kick the neurological system into gear earlier, resulting in improved cardiovascular performance, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerant to stress, greater resistance to disease.

Classical Piano Music will be played from birth till 8 weeks of age in the puppy room. Classical music has a very calming and soothing effect on mom, pups and anyone who enters the puppy room. Pups will be conditioned to falling asleep when they hear the music turn on when older.

The Enrichment Effect

Every week, until the pups go home, we will enrich their environment. You'll see squeaky toys, bubble wrap, slick surfaces, tunnels, uneven wobble boards, steps, slides, and so much more. We try to add new enriching items daily.

Startle Recovery Begin.

These exercises will help teach puppies to "bounce back" quickly from being startled.

Puppies will begin listening to everyday household noises as they are moved to the main living area of our home. They will hear children laughing, playing and crying. Vacuums, dogs barking, door bells, and so much more.

Litter Training Begins.

Puppies have a natural desire to keep their "den" clean. We introduce a potty area during this stage. This will make potty training a lot easier down the road.

Socializing Begins.

This age is the perfect time begin introducing the pups to a variety of people. We invite friends and families over to play and interact with all the pups on many occasions.
