Our Little Gems are cherished from the moment of conception. Momma receives top-quality care and plenty of extra TLC. Once the puppies arrive, a dedicated human is always nearby—sleeping in the same room during those crucial first weeks to ensure their well being. We take our responsibility seriously, ensuring each Little Gem is safe, warm, and nursing well to grow into happy, healthy bundles of joy for their future families to love.

Between days 3 and 16, our Little Gems experience a gentle routine known as Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS). These tiny "exercises" nurture better stress resilience, promote strong hearts, enhance their little immune systems, and help shape well balanced temperaments. This foundation lays the groundwork for the confidence our Little Gems need for new experiences, allowing them to bounce into life’s adventures with wagging tails and curious noses.

Our Little Gems are showered with love, gentle handling, and intentional experiences that foster happy, confident puppies. They enjoy plenty of cozy cuddles and hands-on socialization with people of all ages to strengthen human bonds. Through early sensory enrichment—exposure to diverse sights, smells, textures, and sounds—and playful romps in a safe outdoor environment, our Little Gems grow curious, well-socialized, and ready to shine.

Crate Conditioning

Harness & Leash Training

Raising Well-Rounded Puppies

We believe crate training helps make the transition to a new home smooth and comfortable. Early on, our Little Gems learn to see the crate as a cozy, safe spot—not a place to be confined. They often nap or lounge inside with the door open, making it easier to continue training in their forever homes.

House Training

Harness & Leash Training

Harness & Leash Training

Beginning early builds a strong house training foundation for our Little Gems! We progressively move puppy pads farther from their cozy beds, introduce special potty spots by four weeks, and take plenty of trips to familiar grassy areas. While some  little accidents may happen, this loving approach sets them up for lasting success with house training.

At six weeks, our Little Gems gear up with cozy harnesses during the day and start their gentle leash adventures! Getting comfy with the leash early boosts their confidence and gets them ready for all the exciting explorations ahead with their forever families.
