Before you take your puppy home, we encourage you to listen to this podcast. In it, Kristin shares her belief that dogs, just like people, have love languages. Understanding how dogs communicate and connect allows us to train and build relationships with them in ways that truly make sense to them.
This podcast explains why that matters, how it shapes our training approach, and what it can mean for your relationship with your new puppy. Listening beforehand will give you insight into how your puppy learns and why consistency and communication are so important.

Puppies learn fast, and timing matters, you have about 1.3 seconds to reward or correct a behavior. What you allow now will become a habit later.
• Jumping: Only give attention when all four paws are on the floor.
• Nipping & Mouthing: Puppies test leadership with their mouths—don’t ignore it, redirect or apply gentle pressure
Puppies learn fast, and timing matters, you have about 1.3 seconds to reward or correct a behavior. What you allow now will become a habit later.
• Jumping: Only give attention when all four paws are on the floor.
• Nipping & Mouthing: Puppies test leadership with their mouths—don’t ignore it, redirect or apply gentle pressure.
• Demand Barking: Never let them out while barking. Wait for quiet—even a moment—to reward calm. A white noise machine can help.
Start as you mean to go—respectful habits now build a well-mannered dog later.

Because we are a training facility first, we know these dogs inside and out. Every breeding decision is intentional, with pairings chosen to strengthen health, temperament, and natural ability. All parents complete health clearances, and females are not overbred.
By focusing on quality over quantity, we raise fewer puppies—but stronger, healthier, and better-prepared ones. Every puppy is handled daily, socialized, and given the best foundation for life.
