Our puppies are raised in our home with our family and other pets. They are loved, socialized and neurologically stimulated by us daily. We start early neurological stimulation exercises during the first 3- 16 days of life with each puppy. We believe that these exercises provide each puppy with a stronger immune system and more tolerance to stress. We feel this is a very important step to help our
puppies become healthy, well balanced dogs, physically and mentally. To learn more about this technique read the article: Developing High Achievers" by Dr. Carmen L Battaglia. At 3-4 weeks old we start paper training which helps them learn that there is a designated area to go potty. They are also introduced to many different toys and objects to explore which we rotate daily to give them a new and exciting environment. By the time the puppies are 6 weeks old we are going on outdoor adventures and encouraging them to potty outside. This approach makes it much easier for you to potty train your new puppy! We believe that the time and love we put into each puppy insures a Berner with a great temperament! All pups will leave with their first set of shots and a specific vaccination schedule to follow, they will be dewormed at least 3 times, and dew claws will be removed. We also have a 1 year health guarantee against genetic defects.
