Raising Family Reared Puppies

The Importance of Early Socialization, ENS, and Temperament Testing

At our breeding program, we are committed to giving our puppies the very best start in life. We follow a comprehensive, modern approach to puppy rearing, ensuring each pup is not only healthy but also mentally and socially prepared for their new home. Our approach is rooted in the latest puppy development techniques, including Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), desensitization, and early socialization. We also go the extra mile by working with a trained professional to perform temperament testing and match each puppy with the right family, ensuring a smooth transition to their forever home. We are proud to offer prospective families the opportunity to see how we care for the puppies in real time through our Ring Camera, providing full transparency and peace of mind.

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Desensitization

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is a key component of our puppy rearing program. ENS involves exposing puppies to gentle, controlled stressors during the first few weeks of life to stimulate their nervous system. This helps the puppies develop a more resilient temperament and promotes better adaptability in their new environment.

Our program incorporates the following ENS techniques:

  • Tactile stimulation: Gentle handling of the puppies helps develop their tactile sensitivity.

  • Head positioning: Puppies are briefly placed in specific positions to challenge their balance and stimulate their nervous systems.

  • Temperature exposure: Puppies are exposed to slightly warmer or cooler temperatures to help them adapt to changes in their environment.

This early stimulation results in well-rounded, confident puppies that are more adaptable to different situations, making the transition to their new homes smoother.

In addition to ENS, we incorporate desensitization techniques, introducing the puppies to a variety of new sounds, sights, and textures. These experiences help ensure that the puppies are comfortable with everyday household activities and prevent future anxieties or fears. Whether it’s the sound of a vacuum, the hum of a dishwasher, or the feel of different surfaces underfoot, our puppies are prepared for the many stimuli they’ll encounter in their new lives.

Early Socialization: Building Confident and Well-Adjusted Puppies

Socialization is one of the most critical aspects of early puppy development, and we take it very seriously. From an early age, we begin socializing our puppies with a variety of people, environments, and other animals. We carefully introduce them to new experiences in a controlled, positive way to ensure they develop into well-mannered and confident dogs. Here’s a glimpse of the activities we use to socialize the puppies:

  • Exposure to children and adults: Puppies interact with a variety of family members, ensuring they are comfortable with people of all ages.

  • Familiarization with other pets, poultry and livestock: Our puppies are exposed to other dogs, cat, rabbits, chickens, ducks, goats and horses, helping them learn appropriate social behaviors and fostering a good relationship with other animals. Specific socialization arrangements will be accommodated to assist in helping your puppy with vital early socialization that will help them adapt to your lifestyle.

  • Visits to new environments: We expose the puppies to different indoor and outdoor settings, helping them adapt to changes in their environment.

Through these socialization techniques, our puppies learn how to behave in various situations, reducing the likelihood of fearful behaviors as they grow.

Professional Temperament Testing and Puppy Matching

We understand that each family has unique needs and that each puppy has its own personality. To ensure that our puppies are matched with the right families, we work with a trained professional to conduct temperament testing. This expert evaluation allows us to assess each puppy’s temperament, energy level, and suitability for different home environments.

Through temperament testing, we can match puppies based on factors such as:

  • Energy level: Some families prefer an energetic, playful dog, while others may need a more laid-back companion.

  • Confidence: Puppies that display a strong, confident personality may be better suited to families who want a more independent dog, while those who are more sensitive might be a better fit for families looking for a cuddly companion.

  • Social tendencies: If you have children or other pets, we can help identify puppies who are naturally social and easygoing.

This tailored matching process ensures that our puppies integrate smoothly into their new homes, and that the families who adopt them are well-prepared for the responsibilities of dog ownership.

Real-Time Transparency: The Ring Camera Experience

We believe that a breeder’s job doesn’t end once the puppies are born. We are committed to full transparency in how our puppies are cared for and raised. That’s why we’ve set up a Ring Camera system for prospective families to view their future puppies in real-time. Through the Ring Camera, you’ll be able to watch how the puppies interact with their environment, other dogs, and people. You can observe the care they receive.

First Experiences

  • Potty training: Our puppies begin learning basic potty training skills early.

  • First grooming experiences: We introduce the puppies to grooming early on to ensure they are comfortable with combing, scissoring and being on the grooming table.

  • Veterinary check-ups: All of our puppies undergo a thorough veterinary examination, including vaccinations, deworming, microchips and health checks.

  • Crate training: We begin crate training early to help puppies adjust to their new homes with ease. This training ensures that the puppies are comfortable and secure when placed in their crates, making the transition smoother for both the puppy and the family.

  • Car rides: Puppies are taken on short car rides to familiarize them with travel and prevent motion sickness or anxiety in the future.

Why Our Approach Matters: Setting Our Puppies Up for Success

Our goal is to ensure that our puppies are not only healthy but well-prepared to become wonderful companions and or working dogs. By incorporating techniques like Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), early socialization, and professional temperament testing, we provide a strong foundation that sets our puppies up for success. These practices help create well-adjusted dogs who are confident, happy, and ready to integrate seamlessly into your home.

Our use of the Ring Camera provides prospective families with full transparency, allowing them to see exactly how their future puppy is being raised. This level of care and openness demonstrates our commitment to responsible breeding practices and ensures that each puppy is given the best possible start in life.

By choosing to adopt from our program, you are not only gaining a well-reared puppy, but you’re also gaining the confidence of knowing that your new family member has been thoughtfully cared for, professionally matched, and fully prepared to become a beloved member of your household.
