Here's a little peek at playtime. We call this Puppy Pinball! What would you call it?
Today's socialization activity: Desensitization. Blow dryers aren't scary!
You can do this, too! Is your puppy/dog afraid of something? Introduce them to it in safe, comfortable, small bites. Then reward them with loads of love as they slowly work through their fears. XO
These boys still fit under the couch! Who knew?!
Autumn and Puppies = Heaven
So thankful for this amazing autumn weather so that the pups can get a good run in each day!
Tess & Bentley's 8-week-old pups are like little vacuums when it's meal time! I try to convince them to "take small bites - it'll last longer", but, they don't listen! These pups start going home tomorrow! We have a couple of pups who are still looking for their new families. Contact us to find your perfect match; today just might be your lucky day!
We give our pups a solid foundation on crate training! We start young as the pups will have 2-3 crate time naps each day starting at about 5 weeks of age. By the time the pups go home at 8-9 weeks of age, they are sleeping 6-8 hours through the night in their crates!
These sweet puppies are now 5 weeks old and will be ready for their new homes in 3 weeks!

Tess x Bentley's 8 three-week-old puppies! We have a few spots left on our waitlist! 📝 DM for more info on how to get on our list!
WE'VE GOT MORE PUPPIES ON THE WAY! Tess and Bentley are due just after Labor Day! If you want to get on our Puppy Pick List, now is the time to do it! DM us for more info! See our following post for to-die-for photos of both Tess and Bentley as puppies. I wish I could go back in time and snuggle those chubby little pups - but instead - we get to raise a whole litter of mini-Tess and mini-Bentleys! You know you want one!!
Puppy socialization / enrichment / desensitization can be easy peasy! Just use things you already have around the house. Make it fun for both you and your pup! I had a smile on my face the whole time as these little ones had novel experiences & discovered the wonderful world around them. You can do it, too! This is great for older dogs as well.
More puppy socialization: vacuums aren't scary. Yay cutie pies!
Fear of tunnels? Not these puppers!
