ENS
EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION
. Before eyes are even open we are giving our pups a greater resistance to disease. ENS has been shown to improve cardiovascular performance as well as increases tolerance to stress.
Whelping Box Curriculum
This exposure is conducted in the whelping box where it is gentle and safe. The goal of these activities is to build trust while finding a happy balance of free will.
Exposure Activities
At Day 28 we begin exposing our pups to new items and activities. This assists them in building their confidence and problem solving skills while allowing us to monitor their stress and startle recovery. We expose them to all scenarios that they could possibly encounter at their new homes.
(other animals, small children, loud noises, different textures)

Evaluations
At 8 weeks of age each of our pups are individually evaluated. Evaluations ensure that we are honoring each puppy by placing them in the best possible home for both pup and family. On pick up day we are then able to guide families through each temperament and personality traits that we have seem through out the weeks.
