We get a lot of questions about how we desensitize our puppies to different things. While a lot of our equipment might surprise you (trash bags, wobble boards, ball pits, and closets full of other things) we also like our puppies to be desensitized to other pets that might be in your house, which includes cats! We’d like to introduce you to our team of EIGHT (yes, EIGHT!) cats who help your puppies learn how to be gentle with others.
We have 6 outdoor and 2 indoor cats who are allowed to meet puppies once they reach 5 weeks old. All of our cats LOVE dogs, which helps, but they will also correct the puppies if they start to play too rough.
The 4 newest girls, Regina, Gretchen, Karen, and Cady, were adopted this fall, Simon and Mack were COVID kittens, and Aspen and Posie are my daughters cats and live with her at her house.
Aside from being great for our puppies, these guys help keep the 35 acres mouse, mole, (small) snake, and other pest free! They enjoy their lives as farm cats and we appreciate all that they do!
