Why choose our puppy program?
Our puppy program begins with Early Neurological Stimulation starting at 3 days old. Puppies are born undeveloped, so we are able to make a difference by conducting a series of exercises to enhance the development, making a difference for the rest of the puppies life. Enrichment factor: Increase brain mass 5%, accentuate nerves system, greater tolerance of stress, greater resistance to disease, faster adrenal system, stronger heart rate and a stronger heart beat. Our puppies are referred to as “Super Puppies” due to the enhancement factor which can only be preformed under 16 days old.
We follow this up with continual training and simulation that is age appropriate, up until they go home. Our families are exposed to all the puppies in our litter from just 1 week old, this is a unique experience. This stimulation and training is the basic foundation for a successful future.
Early Neurological Stimulation
Family visits begin and we encourage you to participate in providing early neurological stimulation. Don’t worry, we will show you exactly what to do! During weeks 1 and 2 puppies experience different touches (rough, smooth, soft) and a variety of smells and tastes. They even get to know you by smell! In week 3 we begin hearing and visual stimulation as puppies eyes and ears open and develop.

Basic Obedience and Socialization
Our puppies continue to socialize with our families, caring staff, and with our adult dogs. Puppies learn humans are neither toys nor puppies and need to be respected. No jumping on or chewing of humans is allowed. Basic commands are introduced such as Go Potty, No, Sit, Down, and Come. Puppies are introduced to kennels, doggie doors, and a variety of surfaces.

Training your Puppy
We introduce you and your puppy to the Heel command and walking on a leash. By the end of week 7 your puppy will understand heel and will sit, lay down, and go potty on command. This concludes our 7 week program and puppies can continue training at home or stay with us for 2 more weeks of advanced puppy training. Watch Video: You’re the Trainer (1min 15sec)

What is Early Neurological Stimulation?
When puppies reach 1 week old, our families begin to participate in this program conducting positional stimulation, thermal stimulation, and stimulating puppies with a variety of smells (from food to human breath), sounds, and touches. Puppies socialize with families as well as with my adult dogs. Our program is designed to mildly stimulate puppies at an early age, socially conditioning and training them. The observed benefits of ENS include improved cardio vascular performance, stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, better tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease than in puppies that do not receive it. Studies have shown ENS also increases brain mass by 5%. Our puppies transition to their new environments with ease. Not only are they socially exposed to humans and other dogs, by the time they leave us they have been exposed to 7 types of surfaces, doggie doors, steps, climbing over barriers and an entire playground designed to stimulate the puppies. Our families are integrated into our program with hands on involvement and training. This is the best way for new puppy owners to understand their puppy’s development while experiencing their puppy flourish in this environment.
