Our puppies are raised inside our home.  We practice Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) at 3 days old, and handle them frequently.   Their first few weeks are spent in a whelping box that's designed to help with potty training.  We also put their favorite Netflix shows for them to watch almost daily.  This helps them become familiar with different sounds.    The puppies are introduced  to soft foods around their 4th week.  We do our best socializing them in our home with family members, and our other pets, including our tortoise.  We cuddle, and play with them daily.   We also allow them to explore within our home and back yard once they are older.   We enjoy the puppies and the process of raising them while we have them.  When it's time to say goodbye, we are satisfied knowing they were given extra attention, love, and the best possible beginning.  It warms our hearts knowing they are going to homes where the love and support will be continued.
