PUPPY CULTURE PROTOCOL (February 27, 2020)Puppy Culture..the only way to raise a puppy.
What is Puppy Culture?
How Can Puppy Culture Benefit You?
Puppy Culture is a guiding hand for you and your puppy:
Our team of experts have bred, raised, and trained thousands of dogs, and we know from first hand experience what works best. We make that vast experience available to you, broken down into clear instructions, in short chapters that are easy and fun to watch.
How you teach your puppy is as important as what you teach your puppy:
Studies have shown that many common training techniques can actually increase aggression and problem behaviors, which can damage the human-animal bond. The Puppy Culture program will show you how to train your dog while enriching your bond with him, every step of the way.
The Truth About Socialization:
Socialization is key:
During this sensitive time, the puppy is as vulnerable to imprinting negative experiences as he is to imprinting good experiences. This means you need a good plan for socializing your puppy. Your Puppy Culture team gives you a plan and guides you through the process.
Be Your Puppy's Advocate:
Learn what's best for your puppy:
It can be hard to stand up to a person of authority, such as a veterinarian or a dog trainer, but you need to learn what’s right and wrong for your puppy, and stand up against bad advice. Puppy Culture’s veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders give you the facts to know when you’re right, and the conviction to walk away from anything that might harm your puppy.
Skills you will learn include:
Must-Do Puppy Training
Socializing Your Puppy
The Communication Trinity
Problem Prevention
Real Life Proof that it Works:
dog standing
Puppy Culture is Effective
Puppy Culture tracks one litter over three years, so you can see the true results of our program. You’ll see the puppies overcome real and varied behavior challenges and ultimately grow to gentle, well-behaved adult dogs.
All Backed Up by Science:
puppy
Supported by Experts
We’ve brought together a team of leading breeders, veterinarians, and behaviorists to explain the science behind WHY Puppy Culture works so well. Culture represents a gold standard in puppy rearing and early socialization.
We’ve done the research for you and distilled down a hundred years of combined experience into easy to follow protocols. You’ll receive week-by-week and step-by-step instructions, proven by science and experience to ensure the best outcomes for your puppies.
You have more power than you think.
Breeders have more opportunity to make a dramatic impact on a puppy’s ultimate personality than anyone else ever will. By the time the puppy goes to his new home, much of that opportunity has already been lost. Puppy Culture shows you what you need to do, when, in order to take advantage of your power as a breeder.
Preparing your puppy buyers is as important as breeding good puppies.
Nothing is more frustrating than sending a perfect puppy to a new home only to get a phone call months later that the puppy is acting out or having problems. We give you checklists and key points to share with your puppy buyers which will prepare them to follow through with the Puppy Culture program after you send their puppy home with them.
Something you can share with your puppy people.
We answer a lot of the questions puppy buyers commonly have and help them set reasonable expectations for their new puppies. From basic training to finding the right puppy class, your puppy owners are in good hands with Puppy Culture!
We put your passion on film.
Whether it's your first litter or your fiftieth, when you look in that whelping box you see a history of all the dogs you've loved, and your hope for the generations to come. You're not putting puppies on the ground, you're putting new relationships into the world. Puppy Culture tells your story in an emotional narrative that will allow anyone who sees it to understand who we are and why we breed dogs.
Puppy Culture includes...
Preparation and Prenatal Care
Early Neurological Stimulation
Weaning Setup and Suggestions
Developmental Periods
Understanding Behavioral Markers
Age Appropriate Games and Exercises
Handling Fear Periods
Enrichment Effect
Creating an Enriching Environment
Puzzles and Problem Solving
Active vs Passive Challenges
Early Socialization
Safety Measures
How to Hold a Puppy Party
Vaccination vs Socialization
Communication Trinity
Training Marker
Offering Good Behaviors
Manding
Problem Prevention
Emotional Resiliency Exercises
Anti-Aggression Protocols
Sound-Proofing Puppies
Preparing Your Puppy Buyers
