My elderly mom fell today and broke her hip. I’ll be at the hospital with her for a few days, so I won’t be answering any emails or messages. She is out of surgery and trying to relax, Please don’t think I’m ignoring you if I don’t reply. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.😔

Even if your breeder didn’t crate train your pup, you can still begin the process when you get your new pup home. We start crate training by simply putting an open crate in their playpen with them. Then we begin feeding them and giving them treats in the crate, all while leaving the door open. Once they go in the crate freely and are starting to nap, we start closing the door.

*****I cannot stress the importance of not leaving the pup in the crate with the doors closed if they are crying or showing signs of stress. If they are forced to be in the crate, it will be harder for them to associate the crate with positive experiences. It might take a little more time for some, but with consistency and patience, they will start to associate the crate as a place to relax.

***** The exception to not closing the door if they are fussing is nighttime. Although our pups are crate trained, being in a new home away from their littermates and us can be scary. Sometimes tweaking the routine or set up will be needed for them to settle. There are exceptions, but most of our pups sleep through the night in a crate by the bed in their new homes from the very first night.

Oh the adventures this boy has had in just one short year! I just received this from one of my puppy parents. It's Javi's birthday today. Happy birthday sweet boy and a very happy birthday to his littermates.

Moving away from their "nest" area to go potty is a milestone. Mouthing/ playing with each other is also a milestone. This is when they start getting really fun. Their eyes are open, but they won't be able to see clearly for quite some time. This week their ears should be opening also.

Rosy's setup for now. The puppies always look so big in pictures, but this gives a visual of how small they really are.

This little girl was so hungry when she woke up after sleeping on my lap. She's going to be a little munch mouth. 💞 It's much easier to have a baby who wants to eat than a finicky eater. I'll give you tips and tricks to help those that are not big eaters, so don't despair.

Another look way back to the beginning. This was the next morning after they were born. This song is called sweet memories, so fitting.

Clicker training. When I first started doing clicker training with the pups, over four years ago, I used to think the purpose was just to train them to sit/mand. It turned out to be so much more than that. The connections I made with them was invaluable. This is our one on one time, when there are no other pups around. (This was recorded in our entryway for lighting purposes, but the training usually happened in a separate room where the littermates couldn't hear the click.) It became a time that I really enjoyed spending with them. That special time when they look into your eyes and you have their undivided attention. That time when you can see the exact moment when they understand what the exercise is for. That time when you can see what their true personality is, away from their littermates. And most importantly, that time when they snuggle up in your lap or give you lots of kisses and all is right with the world.

Safe socialization at Home Depot. There's always lots of people who want to interact with the pups. By leaving them in the stroller, they can choose to come over and see the new people while keeping them safe from parvo. Besides people, there are lots of new sights and sounds they will encounter.

One of our pups, all grown up now, on Thanksgiving day. 🤣😂
