At Brisbane Cavoodles, as part of our program, we use 10 gentle handling techniques to help our puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted companions from day one plus it’s a great excuse for puppy cuddles 🥰 #brisbanecavoodles #cavoodlepuppy #workisnow #notwhenthepuppiescometoyou #empoweredpuppies
When puppies are born, their eyes are tightly shut, keeping them in the dark for those first few days. But around 10 to 14 days old, (this is our first little one with eyes open) they begin to discover the world around them for the very first time. Such a cutie…. At first, their vision is pretty fuzzy, so everything they see is just a blur of shapes and shadows. But that doesn’t stop them from being curious! You’ll see them wobbling around, trying to figure out what’s what. They might bump into things or stumble over their littermates, but you can almost see the wheels turning in their little heads as they start to piece together their surroundings. As their vision sharpens over the next few weeks, we notice them starting to recognize familiar faces— There’s nothing quite like the moment when your puppy really sees you for the first time and their eyes light up with excitement. It’s as if everything is starting to make sense to them, and they’re connecting what they see with the sounds and smells they’ve been getting to know. Their world is expanding every day, and watching them explore it with those bright, curious eyes is pure joy 🤩
Puppies areas are open
Puppies are born with their ears sealed shut, and they start opening them around two weeks old - this is when the world really starts to come alive for them! It’s such an exciting time because this is when they begin to hear all the sounds around them. When we notice them reacting to noises for the first time, we see… maybe a cute little head tilt or their ears perking up. It’s like they’re suddenly discovering a whole new world, and it’s just the sweetest thing to watch. At first, their responses are pretty subtle—a twitch here, a little movement there. But within days, they’ll start responding more to the sounds of my voice, the clinking of dishes, or even the rustle of a toy. You might catch them getting a bit startled by a sudden noise or looking around, trying to figure out where a sound is coming from. To help them get used to all these new sounds, we keep things calm and cozy at first. Gradually introducing them to everyday noises, like soft music or the hum of the vacuum, so they can adjust without feeling overwhelmed. It’s such a special time, and it’s incredible to see how quickly they start interacting with their surroundings. Brisbane Cavoodles

Brisbane Cavoodles Let’s talk about the secret sauce behind raising well-rounded, confident, and happy Brisbane Cavoodles—Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)! Picture this: tiny, wiggly Cavoodle pups, eyes barely open, getting their first little taste of the world in a way that’s as beneficial as it is adorable. That’s where ENS comes in.So, what’s the deal with ENS? Imagine it as a mini boot camp for your pups, but instead of barking commands, we’re gently guiding them through a series of simple exercises designed to tickle their developing nervous systems. These exercises—like holding a pup upright, upside down, or lightly stimulating their tiny paws—might seem like child’s play, but they work wonders in setting up your Cavoodles for a lifetime of resilience.Here’s why we do it: during the first few weeks of life, puppies experience a crucial window of neurological development. This is when their brains are super malleable, ready to absorb and adapt to the world. By introducing controlled, mild stressors during this period, we’re basically saying, “Hey, little one, the world’s a big place, but you’ve got this!” The result? Pups that are more adaptable, less anxious, and better equipped to handle stress as they grow.And the benefits? Oh, they’re plentiful! ENS has been shown to boost cardiovascular performance, strengthen heartbeats, improve adrenal gland function, and build a stronger immune system. Plus, these pups often grow up to be more curious and adventurous. They’re the ones leading the charge on walks, greeting new people with wagging tails, and maybe even becoming the superstars of the dog park.In short, Early Neurological Stimulation is like giving your Brisbane Cavoodle a head start in life. It’s all about shaping confident, healthy, and well-adjusted pups that are ready to take on the world—one tail wag at a time! @brisbane_cavoodles #cavoodlepuppies #cavoodlelove
