Puppy Culture

Our puppies are raised using Puppy Culture, ESI (Early Scent Introduction) and early socialization techniques.

Every puppy has a unique personality, and we have the opportunity to be part of the first nine weeks of their lives — shaping and nurturing that potential before they ever come home to you.

The Five-Week Program

Given a structured environment suited to their rapidly developing brains, puppies learn remarkably fast. Over five weeks they learn advanced manners and meet new situations.

Advanced manners — sit, stay, come, leash training
Introduction to car rides
Crate training
Manding — the automatic sit
Food manners
Advanced socialization
Daily handling, and a great deal of love
Problem-solving exercises
Scent detection exercises
Confidence-building exercises
Being well behaved around children and seniors
Manners in public

What it means

Why We Bother

A puppy that has met noise, surfaces, crates and strangers before nine weeks meets the rest of life the same way.

Early Scent Introduction is a few seconds a day. The dogs it produces work with their noses for a lifetime.

We would rather do the hard weeks here than hand you a puppy that has to unlearn something.
