Some of the ways that we care, nurture, and prepare puppies for the world.
We recommend all our puppy families download the PupStanding App for desensitizing at home!
Our bedtime music is the Doug Hammer playlist on Spotify (or similar classical piano and guitar)
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is a two-week routine for puppies starting three days after birth. It includes five brief and gentle exercises: tactile stimulation involves lightly touching the pup's toes with a Q-tip; the supine position requires a secure two-handed hold, and holding the pup with its head up or tilted upside down; and thermal stimulation involves placing the pup on a damp cool towel. Each exercise lasts 3-5 seconds, completing the entire process in approximately 30 seconds. These exercises, performed daily for two weeks, contribute to enhancing the pups' immune systems and stress tolerance, supporting their development into well-adjusted canine companions.
Early Scent Introduction (ESI) for puppies is a gentle and positive approach to acquaint them with various scents from an early age. This practice involves exposing puppies to different smells in a controlled and comfortable environment. By introducing them to scents associated with everyday objects, people, or environments, we aim to build their olfactory awareness and promote a positive relationship with various smells. This early sensory exposure can contribute to their overall confidence, adaptability, and well-being as they grow and navigate the world around them.
We utilize playful techniques designed to boost puppies' confidence and prepare them for the adventures that lie ahead. From sensory stimulation to interactive play, we prioritize creating a secure environment where they can learn, explore, and have a tail-wagging good time. Our goal is to create a strong foundation for your puppy's well-rounded development, where safety always comes first, and every playful interaction contributes to building a confident, resilient, and well-socialized companion.
