Puppy socialization

It takes a village to raise emotionally well-balanced, stable dogs and puppies... 

Luckily, we have lots of four-legged and two-legged help!

Butter wouldn't melt in Asher's (Cinnabar Fire 'N' Ice) mouth! Here he is pictured at 6 weeks and 8 weeks. Fortunately, his four-legged family don't realise how cute he is, and deal with his mischief just like they would any puppy!

Super Dad Ozzie patiently teaching his 6 week old son how to do a proper polite play bow... we were lucky to have captured this process! This is the first time that this puppy executed a play bow, mimicking his sire to signal his eagerness to play, .

Good mothers teach their young to play.... in this video, Super Mum Gigi shows her kiddos the ropes of good play. Gigi was a strict mother and did not hesitate to put unruly puppies in Time Out whenever she felt like they needed it! 

In the same way, Gigi's daughter Scher also instilled confidence in her puppies...

We also get lots of two-legged help.

 

We believe that dog socializing goes beyond just puppyhood, and that well-adjusted adults have a greater chance of producing well-adjusted puppies.
