Raising puppies is our absolute favorite part! Our goal is to produce puppies ready for new experiences and challenges in life. We raise our puppies using Puppy Culture, which includes socializing protocols, emotional resilience exercises, problem solving, basic skills training, desensitization exercises, body awareness activities, and environmental enrichment. Puppy Culture is a socialization and training program specifically developed for puppies from birth through the end of their critical socialization period, with age appropriate protocols and lessons laid out in an organized format to help them become confident, bright, social adult dogs.

Additionally we expose puppies to the Early Neurological Stimulation protocol from approximately days 5-16 which helps puppies to better cope with stressful situations, increases problem solving ability and supports better physical health later in life.

Our puppies are exposed to a variety of living situations, unfamilar adults, children, novel dogs, etc. They also participate in woods walks and many other enrichment activities before leaving Theory for their new homes!
