An Introduction to Our Advanced Puppy Curriculum

Dogs have this phenomenal ability to fill a need in our heart. They have a way of healing our emotional pain, of making us feel their unconditional love, of accepting us faults and all, of showing us that we can have trust in them, of giving us confidence when we need it, and of having the ability to assist us with our medical needs in a very different way then machines can. They share their gifts with us during our happy times, during our darkest times, when we are healthy, and when we are unhealthy. When we reflect on how much they freely offer to us, the most essential thing we can do for them in return is to help them grow into confident, healthy, and happy puppies. This requires both good genetics and being raised in a safe and enriching environment with their needs being met at each stage of their life.

There are many theories on the way to raise puppies appropriately and to what should or should not be in a puppy raising curriculum. Some theories have been scientifically proven while others have been gathered from personal experience. It is our belief that both have incredible value. Our puppies are raised in accordance to our personal experiences, our goals, and from learning from thousands of specialists in the education and animal worlds. We are constantly analyzing and refining our breeding and training programs. We take the words of the late and great Maya Angelou to heart, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” We want to ALWAYS do better.

This section of our website will be dedicated to sharing what we do when raising our litters. The foundation of our program is based on the developmental stages of a puppy, starting from the neonatal stage.
