The PreNatal Period
Making sure that your puppy’s genetic material is excellent is, however, only the beginning. The physical and emotional health of the mother will affect the health of her puppies. Since research has shown that puppies born to mothers that receive prenatal massage are more docile and enjoy being touched, we spoil our mothers with lots of affection, cuddles, enrichment and massages and tummy rubs. A puppy’s predisposition to form deep and meaningful relationships begins even before they are born.Puppy Culture
Our puppies are raised using an extensive, research based, structured programme called Puppy Culture
The first 12 weeks of a puppy’s life are incredibly important. This is an almost magical time when a breeder has the power to change the outcome of a puppy’s life by what we expose them to and choose to teach him. By doing just the right things at just the right time, we can give your puppy the best start possible.
The Neonatal Period
The programme begins with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) between Days 3 and continues through to day 16. Research shows that gentle tiny amounts of stress e.g. tickling between puppies' toes with a cotton wool bud, in appropriate small doses, are actually good for puppies and will help them grow into strong, resilient, confident and healthy well-adjusted adults. Benefits include greater tolerance to stress, greater resistance to disease, faster adrenal system, stronger heart rate and stronger heartbeat. This is a gift that a breeder can only give their puppies once during the window of 3-16 days.
The Critical Socialization Period: 3-12 weeks.
Most people think of socialization as exposing their puppies to as many new experiences as possible while the puppy is young. While this is part of the process, it’s not enough. Our goal is to raise dogs that have the emotional intelligence to connect with you and resilience to connect with the human world. There are 7 key things that will nurture the emotional intelligence and resilience of a puppy.
- 1: Communication – giving a puppy his own voice (Communication Trinity – (power up clicker, box game, manding), attention/distraction protocols)
- 2: Emotional stability – the ability to recover easily from fear as well as stress (startle recovery, barrier challenges, Volhard Aptitude Test at 6 weeks)
- 3: Habituation – familiarity with the maximum number of things (Puppy Parties, sound protocols, habituation soundtracks and noises, meeting different people, dogs, other animals)
- 4: Enrichment – the view that novelty and challenges are opportunities for enrichment rather than things to be feared or avoided (novelty items, Adventure Box, off premises socialization)
- 5: Health – physical wellness and motor skills that will allow the puppy to develop in a neurologically and physically sound way (daily weight checks, grooming, vaccinations, deworming, proper nutrition, vet health checks)
- 6: Skills – learned behaviors which allow him to function in human society (recall, manding, simple commands, litter box training, crate training, leash walking, resource guarding, bite inhibition)
- 7: Love – the desire to seek out the company of both dogs and humans as emotionally positive experiences (shaping emotional responses, Happy and Calm CER (Conditioned Emotional Responses), daily cuddles with humans and mom).
