Which prayerfully will be this time next year Check weekly for pupdates ! Litter # * report in no way guarantees that a puppy has a certain type of personality, it just helps you to make the best decision for your lifestyle. status for each Pup on mobile is below picture We Now start the POINT SYSTEM for grading how well they COPE with what we are giving them. We will grade 1-10. (1 being the lowest and 10 the highest) Points change over time, so don't judge by one score, but rather see how they are improving over time. we have left videos from the previous litter below each pictur e in case you are curious of the past puppies, but eventually they will be traded out for the new puppies videos NEW: Watch what Coba is learning ! NEW: Check out what we learned today The Journey begins! I always give the Babies time to heal from Docking and Dew Claw removal, before we start our intensive life training! This is where I get super excited! As a life long trainer and behaviorist, my love is to instill a firm foundation for these puppies. I have always been a firm believer in the "start early", functional, daily training and conditioning. We use natural tools to stimulate the senses.Their God given instinct to "FIND MOM" is so strong, and we can use it to promote tenacity, and strength, not only physically, but mentally. We want to add critical thinking, starting now! Most of the technique for this strategy, is slight and tender. A lot of touch and smell of different humans, that lead them to feel comfortable and safe. Instilling trust of those humans by helping them make their trek to the almighty nipple. These exercises begin the introduction of the puppy, to, "Whatever is attached to this smell and this touch, it's here to help me!" We want them first and foremost to trust us humans, and see us as the leadership they need to tap in to and follow. And to see us as the wise fearless leaders that they can confidently learn from.
