PROACTIVE PUPPY DEVELOPMENT
Our program begins in our home. Home not only as a birthplace and shelter but home as a concept, that feeling of love and safety that all pups need to mature into full capacity. Yes, we utilize time-tested growth strategies like early neurological stimulation, exposure therapy and sensorial activities, but more than that we strive to raise puppies who understand that life is simple: love and be loved.
To love and be loved is the superpower of dogs. It is an amazing gift they give to humanity and it is our mission here at Copperstone Bernedoodles to unlock this potential to the fullest.
Our puppies are raised to be relationship driven and eager to please. We also start training from a young age so that there is as little stress as possible as our families adjust to a puppy in the home. We start potty training around three weeks old, crate training at six weeks and basic command training at seven weeks. We expose our pups to many things from leashes to dishwashers, other dogs, bath time and blenders. And let’s not forget one of the most important exposures (and a big one here at Copperstone): children!
A unique aspect to our program is our desire to build community within our adopting families. It only took me a couple litters to realize that these families really connected with each other and wanted to stay in touch as the puppies grew. We absolutely loved seeing this and wanted to take steps to encourage these friendships forming across state lines. By only taking on a limited number of litters, this is something we can offer our families- a personal experience with us and with their littermate families.
Our puppies are fed daily vitamins and probiotics in addition to Purina Pro Plan dog food. When they are ready for their big day, going HOME, we send each puppy with a package full of things to help with a smooth transition: a baggie of puppy food, training treats and a sample probiotic, a blanket that smells like mom, a manual on how to care for your pup, his/her vet records booklet, a two-year genetic health guarantee (including hips, eyes and elbows) and a lifetime of support!
Are you located far from Michigan? No problem. We can work with any location within the United States. I (or someone from my team) will fly the pup out to you for the cost of the airfare. We do not ship puppies.
