Whispering Pines Golden Retrievers

Here's a little tidbit of the early sensory training I do for them. Today's scent I introduced was a marigold from my garden 🌼 Not pictured was me weighing the puppy and laying it on a cool damp cloth. Look on our website under the "super dog" tab to get more information on this program and the studies behind it!

Today we had a quick in and out vet visit for Annie. I had forgotten that the last visit when she got into the van afterwards her toe had gotten caught in the track for the van door. She hasn't ever loved car rides, but today it was challenging to say the least! While she wasn't injured from the previous "toe catching" incident ,it was obvious she remembered it 😅 I had to literally carry her to get her in the van both to go to the vet and to go back home. So this afternoon I took a few minutes to do a refresher on getting in and out of the car. Wow! Annie is smart as a whip and caught on quickly as she always does. It started with her pulling away as soon as we got close to the van. But as you see here after about 15 minutes of patience and literally one...paw...at a time 🤣 this was the result! I plan to do this twice a week until it becomes a natural thing. Just thought I would share this small victory we had today! **P.s. the mournful wailing you can hear is Bailey not getting to partake in Annie's one on one training" 🤣 they are attached at the hip 😆"

What do I get with my Whispering Pines puppy? Here's a snippet of some of the things you will take home with your new pup. Not pictured is a small bag of the food I have them started on to help transition to the food you plan to feed in your home. I include some Nuvet vitamins I have also started the puppies on while in my care, a Nyla bone, Kong toy, clicker trainer and a snuggle blanket that smells like their mama and siblings to help ease them into your home! I have a packet of information and Instructions for paperwork and other things to expect in your folder as well. 💕 Oh and I can't forget the cute bag that comes with ✨🐾 #goldenretrieverlovers #goldensofinstagram #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #whisperingpinesgoldens

7 weeks old today! Today we did introductions to crates with learning to enter and exit. We also did stair introductions learning how to go both up and down. "Aunt Paisley" our cavalier took on the role of moral support for the puppies 😆 Don't mind my kiddos videography skills 🤪 but you get the idea! Can't believe the puppies only have one more week with us! 💕🐾 #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #puppytraining #puppiesofinstagram #whisperingpinesgoldens

5 weeks old! 💕 Today we let the puppies have their first taste of the outdoors and the feel of grass beneath their feet🐾 Since we are located in PA December is pretty cold so we only stayed out a few minutes, but as you can see they loved it 😍 Contact me for information on placing a deposit our two handsome boys still available! #puppiesofinstagram #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #christmaspuppy #alliwantforchristmas

One week old puppy diary: -Today puppies are 1 week old! They gained a lot of weight in just one week: averaging about 2-3 0z per day 😳. -Annie is an excellent mama and never wants to leave their side (though I need to force her so these puppies don't get over fed! 😅) - Puppies are currently going through ENS and ESS starting at 3 days old. ENS (early neurological stimulation) involves 5 gentle exercises to give them a headstart - studies have shown improved cardiovascular systems, and better ability to deal with stressful situations. We also are trying something new this litter with Early Scent Stimulation (ESS) introducing the puppies to a new scent each day - this has shown to increase their scent abilities later in life. So far I have introduced dog food, cottage cheese, nutmeg & Coffee (they didn't seem to like coffee smell 🤣) -We have 5 healthy and thriving puppies. 3 females and 2 males - We went with a Christmas theme for naming the litter since they will be ready just after Christmas to join their new homes. We have: pink collar "Noel", "green collar "Nick" (St. Nicholas), purple collar "Belle", blue collar "Joey" (Joseph) and yellow collar "Holly". I am still going through inquiries but I have not had solid interest in either of the boys yet. Feel free to private message me for details 💕
