Coming from a rescue background, and with a rescue dog of my own​,​ I know first-hand how big of a difference early development can make to an animals wellbeing throughout their entire lifetime.
 

I have partnered up with reward-based trainers and vets, for independent specialist knowledge at every step of our puppies development.
 

In addition to these tailored recommendations, I follow the Extra Socialisation Program and the Standardised Socialisation Program​,​ which is used in assistance dogs and is approved by the Guide Dogs ethics committee.

These programs provides early exposure to tactile​,​ auditory​,​ visual​,​ human and environmental stimulation (H. Vaterlaws-Whiteside & A. Hartmann​,​ 2017)
Puppies which have been raised with this program have significant advantages later in life​,​ including better trainability and a calmer disposition.

We adhere to Therapy Dogs Australia, Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder recommendations​,​ which have been developed by industry leaders​,​ veterinarians and behaviourists.
 

We encourage early toilet and crate training​,​ positive progressive reinforcement and slow exposure training to sounds, textures, smells and sights. When our puppies are old enough, they are introduced to other dogs, visitors, children and strange sights and sounds to raise happy and resilient puppies.
 

Early puppy training and exercises such as these set your puppy up for a lifetime of physical and emotional wellbeing.
