Puppy Culture is a popular methodology for raising lovely puppies. Puppy Culture takes into account all the things that we have always believed in and done and puts it in an easy to follow puppy raising manual! We are now utlizing this formal foundation for rearing our puppies. Because we switched to a structured program, you can easily pick up the exact same structure once the puppy goes to your home. Puppy Culture is focused on the first 12 weeks...the first 8 are on us...but this allows you to continue with step by step daily instructions on what to do with your puppy the first four weeks that they are home!
Puppies learn about pottying in the potty tray (when inside) and preferably outside, so this helps the transition to potty training when they go home.
Puppies learn about crate training while they can still do it with the security of their siblings at first, and later as they learn to be comfortable crating on their own.
Puppies learn about clicker training when their brains are little sponges soaking up information. They learn to do things to get things, which is the foundation to a solid adulthood. They learn to sit, down, stand. We play scent games with some of the puppies. They learn touch.
Puppies learn about "Come" from their first meal. Meals are moved around to different places with different footing and obstacles. When we blow a whistle during their first few meals, they quickly associate the whistle with the food. As they grow older, the puppies learn find the source of the sounds (the whistle)...by the time they go home, they come racing anything they hear that whistle. Every family goes home with an exact whistle so that they always have that great recall.
We include all types of environmental exposures, manding (focus and attention), socialization and the best part is you can continue raising a puppy the puppy culture way once the puppy arrives at your home!!!
