A dedication to exceptional puppy care and an in-depth socialization program, lies at the heart of my breeding program. My puppies are raised in a home environment, where they receive constant love and attention from me as well as my family. This allows them to develop into confident, well-mannered and socialized dogs.

Over time, I've integrated a variety of programs to raise my puppies. The start was with Puppy Culture, an amazing program based on scientific principles that offers an in-depth understanding of what puppies experience at each stage and how we can harness it for their social development. The other main program I utilise is the Badass Breeder Program (BAB) by Jeanette from 4E Kennels. This program reignited my passion, encouraging me to elevate my puppy rearing methods and business to the next level for the benefit of my puppies and their families.

Puppy Culture is a dedicated socialization and training program fashioned specifically for puppies from birth until the end of their critical socialization period at 12 weeks. This program is organized and lays out age-appropriate protocols and lessons.

Based on the most recent scientific findings on animal rearing and puppy upbringing, Puppy Culture operates on the belief that the puppies should guide the learning, and they learn best through suitable experiences at the right time. Breeders are trained to observe the puppy and offer optimal experiences or lessons based on their behavioural markers.

The Badass Breeder Program is largely about honouring each puppy for who they are. It guides me when I'm uncertain about my curriculum, and teaches us that not all dogs (even Labradoodles) enjoy being touched. In addition to daily socialization to various experiences, we implement a ten-step daily handling program to familiarize and ensure the puppies are compliant with handling. This helps them become comfortable with interactions from their families, vets, and groomers throughout their lifetime.

Besides providing support and guidance as the puppies grow, the BAB program greatly values Puppy Evaluations. This helps give a voice to our puppies. By accurately assessing a puppy at or after 49 days, I can assist you in selecting the perfect furry friend for your home and family. Each puppy is unique and as Jeanette often states, 'There is no perfect puppy.' But with exceptional care, socialization and correct evaluation, we can help every puppy thrive in the right environment.

The Puppy Culture program is based on positive reinforcement. If you're a puppy owner, you can adopt this approach too. Explore further details at https://shoppuppyculture.com/
