We use the Puppy Culture program to raise the puppies.
Other breeders may say they use it, but do your homework and make sure that they are actually familiar with it and are in fact using it. It is a very extensive program.
Part of the puppy culture program is using early neurological stimulation (ENS), which has been shown to make puppies healthier, more confident and more adaptable to new situations. There is a short window of time to do this that begins on the 3rd day of life and lasts until the 16th day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, ENS is of great importance to the puppy. There are 5 exercises done with each puppy each day during this period. We have also incorporated parts of other curriculums and some of our own! Other things we do: 10 step handling exercises, car rides, fieldtrips, outdoor playtime, exposure to different textures (ice, bubble wrap, crinkly paper, etc), sound exposure.
We have also partnered with Baxter & Bella so that you can receive online and live one on one puppy training. You will receive a discount code from us.
Pawsitively Purfect Cavapoos Training
The first 8 weeks of a puppy’s life is extremely important and will shape their future.
1. Crate Training
At the appropriate age we will begin introducing puppies to a crate. The puppies will have time alone each day in a crate to help them prepare for leaving their litter and crate training. This will also be very helpful when transporting your puppy.
2. Sights & Sounds
Puppies will be exposed to different sights, sounds, and textures. In addition to the normal noises of a home, classical music will be played on a daily basis. I also use an app that has sounds such as fireworks, sirens, bells, etc. This ensures that when you take your puppy outside or to new surroundings they won’t have issues and be afraid of new things and people.
3. Obedience
The puppies will be started on basic obedience. Starting obedience early on will make the puppies much better behaved, and easier for you to continue to train.
4. Grooming
Puppies will receive baths and be exposed to blow dryers and nail clippers to make future grooming experiences less stressful for them, and for you!
5. Socialized
The puppies will be well socialized and played with constantly. We have 3 children who love dogs, and they will be spending a lot of time with the puppies.
6. Potty Training
Puppies naturally want to be clean and separate their potty area from their eating, sleeping, and playing area. We keep their areas clean and separate, helping them potty train very quickly.
