Finger Lakes Doodles

🌟 One of the things I cherish most is being part of the lives of so many wonderful people who choose to get puppies from me. From travels and graduations to new homes, jobs, and even the tough moments like losses or sickness, I love witnessing the journey of these families. It’s incredible to see how their dogs provide unwavering love through it all.

I’ve known Wayne and Theresa for years; they brought home Mae in 2021, and our connection has only grown since then. Now, they’re looking to expand their family again, and I couldn’t be happier for them!

Please take a moment to visit their website and share their story. Knowing how deeply they love and care for Mae, I have no doubt they will be the best parents ever. 💖✨

Quick tip about grooming doodles. It doesn’t have to be scary!

I’m feeding Olive her PawTree kibble while working on her obedience and getting her used to the high-velocity blow dryer. Mixing training with distractions helps her feel more confident!

If you’re getting a puppy, especially one that needs grooming, grab a high-velocity blow dryer for home. Desensitizing them regularly can save you, your pup, and your groomer a lot of stress later on. Trust me, it’s worth it!

Let’s make grooming fun for our pups! 💖🐾

🐾I believe in the power of daily practice. Right now, Olive enjoys two meals a day, and each mealtime is a training opportunity! 🥳 I emphasize the importance of training right from the moment families bring their puppies home. I always encourage them to toss out those bowls— and hand feed. Puppies are like little sponges, soaking up everything quickly!

Short, intentional training exercises during meals help build a strong bond. It’s not just about feeding; it's about having fun and establishing trust. 💖 If you're facing behavioral challenges with your dog or puppy, try focusing on your relationship during their meal time. Just two times a day for 10 minutes can lead to amazing changes. I promise you'll see the difference!

🌍🐾 Exploring the world with Olive, brings me so much joy! It reminds me of the simple pleasures of life. Taking the time to appreciate the spaces we often take for granted.

This week, I ventured to Hamlin Beach, a place that holds a special spot in my heart. It’s filled with memories of family picnics with my grandparents and cousins, and it’s where my parents celebrated my high school graduation by renting a pavilion. So many photos of my kids growing up have been taken here! Watching Olive experience it for the first time was the best.

Hamlin Beach is undergoing renovations to plant native trees and shrubs! I can’t wait to see the changes. Until then, I’m embracing the construction noise as part of our training adventures. Here’s to many more memories made in this beautiful place! 🌳💚

Just took a lovely morning stroll alongside Salmon Creek in Hilton, NY, with Tula after her vet appointment. There’s nothing better than walking with your best friend and watching a favorite spot wake up from winter! 🌼 The birds are chirping, and the buds are popping. It might be a bit chilly, but get out there today—it's good for your pup and your soul! 🐾💚 🌸🍃🌼🍃☀️

Cleo and Olive are in my puppy obedience training program before they move on to new families. 🐶💖 Thanks to consistent crate training, they have been sleeping through the night since 8 weeks old. They are now 13 weeks and sleeping from 11 PM to 7 AM without any accidents! 🎉

Crate Training Matters:
- Safety: Keeps your puppy safe when you can’t supervise them.
- Housebreaking: Helps establish a routine for bathroom breaks.
- Comfort: Provides a cozy, den-like space where they feel secure.

With patience and positive reinforcement, crate training can be a rewarding experience for both you and your pup. 🥰

How does your pup do with a crate?👇🐕✨

I dremel puppy nails a few times a week, and here’s how I prevent grooming struggles later on! Check out this cute 13-week-old pup enjoying a frozen treat while getting her nails trimmed. 🍦✂️

🐾 Olive and Cleo are about 13 weeks old and in my extended stay training program! 🦴

One of my favorite feeding tools is the Kong Wobbler. It’s a game-changer for our pups:

- Slow Feeding: It helps regulate how fast they eat.

- Mental Stimulation: They have to work for their food, which keeps their brains engaged and tires them out—resulting in more well-behaved pups! 🐶❤️

Toss out those bowls and give your pup a job they enjoy.
