Puppy Raising

All of our puppies are started with a strong foundation from the very beginning. Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is introduced daily starting at just 2 days old to support neurological development and stress resilience. At 2 weeks of age, puppies begin structured sound exposure using audio recordings to familiarize them with a variety of everyday noises, including fireworks, dogs barking, vacuum cleaners, city sounds, and car traffic. This early exposure helps build confidence and environmental stability as they grow. Once the weaning process begins, puppies are moved into their own designated area, where they are introduced to litter box training to encourage early potty habits and cleanliness. At approximately 5½ weeks of age, crate introduction begins. Puppies are fed all of their meals in the crate with the door open, allowing them to form positive associations with the crate. By 6½ weeks of age, puppies begin having scheduled lunch and nap times in the crate, with short periods of confinement. At this stage, they are also consistently taken outside to potty after every meal. This structured approach helps make the transition to their new homes smoother and sets the foundation for successful crate training and house manners.
