PUPPIES

We are very hands on with our puppies from birth until they are placed in their new homes. We perform Tactile Stimulation beginning at 3 days of age thru day 16, this has proven to help their overall cognitive or mental and sensory development. Tactile stimulation performed during this stage has proven to influence behavior and enhance thinking and problem solving skills. Daily, our puppies are exposed to additional age appropriate stimuli to aid in the development of their natural instincts and temperament.

Exposure means that while raising a puppy, a variety of simple and positive interactions in its daily life can increase its ability to learn, and also cope successfully with stress throughout its life. It's been proven that a German Shepherd's confidence and response to age appropriate training and learning can be enhanced by a variety of proper stimulation (exposure) early on. A good example of exposure is when a puppy is an involved member of a farm family where they are safely exposed to a variety of animals, people, sounds and textures.
