As breeders, it’s important to us that crate training starts early!

We want our puppies to see the crate as a safe, comfortable space and not something to fear. To build that positive association, we give our puppies special chews during crate time. It becomes their little moment to relax, enjoy, and unwind.

By the time they head home, they already understand that the crate is a cozy, calm place to rest. This early exposure makes transitions smoother and sets the foundation for confident, well-adjusted dogs.

These are the moments we cherish because they’re the heart of what it means to have a Bosun Dog ❤️

At Bosun Dog Project, we raise puppies to be confident, friendly, and truly family-ready.

From early socialization and enrichment to positive crate training, every step is about helping our dogs grow into companions who love, support, and delight their families every single day.

Socialization is one of the most important parts of raising a happy, confident puppy.

One simple tip: invite friends over to meet and play with your puppy.

New people, new voices, and gentle interactions teach them that humans are safe and fun.

Keep it positive, let your puppy set the pace, and watch their confidence grow. Every new friend is a building block for a well-rounded dog!

Don’t stress about perfect loose leash walking when your puppy is young.

Right now, walks are about discovery, curiosity, and fun. Let them sniff every corner, roll in the grass, and explore at their own pace.

These little adventures teach them about the world, build confidence, and help them grow into happy, well-rounded dogs.

Loose leash walking can come later. First, let them enjoy being a puppy!

Can’t forget about Grandma, she’s been running the show long before the pups arrived 😂

If you want a confident puppy, don’t JUST focus on training, let them explore safely too.

Every new sound, smell, texture, or corner of the yard or room teaches them that the world is exciting, not scary.

Letting them discover at their own pace builds problem-solving skills, confidence, and well-rounded dogs.

Next time your puppy hesitates, give them space, patience, and encouragement, because every tiny adventure shapes the brave, happy dog they will become.

This was 12 days after they were born! After handling them for weights and snuggles, I left a bumper bed in the whelping box. When I came back, they had crawled underneath, likely shielding their still-developing eyes from light. That’s why we keep the box dim and half covered, to support healthy early development!
