VET AND HEALTH

Your Puppy will be sent home with their vet records. They will be up to date on all age-appropriate vet care, which includes vaccinations, regular preventive parasite treatments, and a complete wellness exam by our vet. Our vet will check for: a healthy weight, a healthy body temperature, an examination of eyes, ears, nose, feet, skin and coat. He listens to the heart and lungs; palpates the abdomen to check for hernias; He examines the puppy's bite to check for over/under bite; He checks movement of patellas and the hips; and lastly he completes a fecal sample to test for parasites. 

Early Neurological Stimulation

We follow the AKC's recommendations of doing Early Neurological Stimulation. This consists of a series of exercises conducted between day 3 and 16 days after birth. This period is a time of rapid neurological development for the puppies. By exposing the puppies to certain stimulations during this time it can have life-long benefits. Studies have shown that puppies exposed to ENS had improved cardiovascular performance (stronger heart rate), stronger heartbeats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease.

Potty Training

We begin the potty training process as soon as the puppies begin getting up and playing. We do this by creating a separate potty area starting in the whelping box for them to go to. Puppies have a natural behavior of moving away from their sleeping area to use the bathroom. By giving them this seperate space they are better able to differentiate between sleep, play, and potty areas as they grow, thus learning the importance of going potty in a designated area. Once they are older, we begin using the bell system and take them outside to allow them to learn to go potty on the grass. This helps tremendously with the transition from our home to yours. It is important, however, to understand that they are still puppies and are NOT going to go home fully potty trained. They will still have accidents in the house without constant training and positive reinforcement with potty training

Crate Training 

We start crate training before sending them to their new homes. We believe that by creating a safe comfortable space for them in their crate, your family will be able to keep them safe from anything that they could get into when you cannot watch them. Crate training is also extremely important in aiding with potty training. By crate training them, it is easier to prevent nighttime accidents since they cannot wander throughout the house to find a place to potty. Although we start with crate training, please keep in mine that the first few nights away from their littermates can still be a bit difficult for them as they adjust. They may "cry" a bit at first, but our hope is that you and your puppy will have a peaceful transition.
