Puppy Socialization & Training:
- handled daily from birth onward (our puppies feel our hands from the moment they take their first breath as we care for them, cuddle them, play with them, and love them!)
- Puppy Culture Bi-Sensor Program (please see video and scroll through diagram for information)
1. Tactical stimulation (between toes): Holding the pup in one hand, the handler gently stimulates (tickles) the pup between the toes on any one foot using a Q-tip. It is not necessary to see that the pup is feeling the tickle. Time of stimulation 3 to 5 seconds. (Figure 1)
2. Head held erect: Using both hands, the pup is held perpendicular to the ground, (straight up), so that its head is directly above its tail. This is an upwards position. Time of stimulation 3 to 5 seconds. (Figure 2)
5. Thermal stimulation: Use a damp towel that has been cooled in a refrigerator for at least five minutes. Place the pup on the towel, feet down. Do not restrain it from moving. Time of stimulation 3 to 5 seconds. (Figure 5)

- extensive socialization (our puppies are exposed to many sights and sounds that your puppy will hear in a typical household like vacuuming, pots and pans clanging, phones ringing, doors opening and closing. And we also go above and beyond to expose them to things out of the ordinary like thunderstorm sounds, fireworks, train horns, sirens.)
- potty training (our puppies go home having been well started on pee-pad OR grass pad training and will be exposed to the outside world around 6-8 weeks of age)
- crate training (our puppies are all exposed to the crate -- both wire and plastic -- for sleeping purposes at night time where they sleep together as a group for comfort to make the crate feel like a safe den area)
- general command training (around the 6-7 week mark we start teaching the puppies to "sit" and sometimes "lay down" solely depending on each puppy's individual progression. We use positive reinforcement and reward the puppies with verbal praise and a treat to solidify the desired skill)
- vehicle ride (we have two vets and one is 1 hour away and the other is 40 minutes away and therefore the puppies will have a minimum of 1 hour and 20 minutes to a 2 hour vehicle ride at 7-8 weeks of age which allows us to expose the puppies to the motion of the vehicle over an extended period of time and it typically allows us to predict if any puppies will experience motion sickness on the vehicle ride home. This also serves as extra exposure to the crate in a completely new situation for the puppies)
Everyone will receive a link to our Exclusive Online "Taking Puppy Home Instructional" that covers a wide range of topics for care and training that you will encounter in the first week in your home (and beyond)! The instructional will help set you up for success in training your puppy! By having the instructional online it not only allows us to "go green" and send puppy owners home with less paper in their Puppy Starter Kits, but it allows new puppy owners to access the instructional from the comfort of their own homes prior to taking their puppy home (which permits them to prepare) and they can refer back to it whenever necessary! Puppy Pick Ups will be scheduled at 11:00 AM and/or 2:00 PM on the day the puppies turn 8 weeks of age, or the next closest weekend available for pick-up (to be determined by Pleasant Meadows).
All puppies must be paid for in full by 8 weeks of age and picked up on the day the litter turns 8 weeks or the closest correlating weekend (to be determined by Pleasant Meadows). If a litter turns 8 weeks on a SATURDAY then the next day on SUNDAY will be opened up for pick-ups OR if a litter turns 8 weeks on a MONDAY the day before on SUNDAY will be opened up for puppy-pick-ups. In the event of a puppy going home 1 day early in order to accommodate families being able to travel on the weekend -- the puppy must be paid in full at the time of pick-up. Please click on the orange link to view accepted payment methods.
If your puppy is not picked up on the day that the litter turns 8 weeks OR the closest correlating weekend (determined by Pleasant Meadows) -- a $15 per day boarding fee will be applied to the puppy price.
If your puppy is not picked up by 9 weeks of age -- you will forfeit all rights to the puppy and the said puppy will be made available to the next prospective family. As outlined in our Puppy Purchase Agreement and Waiting List Rules, the initial $100 reservation fee and the $700 deposit placed at birth is non-refundable. Due to the extreme inconvenience directed at the Breeder, who needs to start the screening process all over again for a new family, the holding fee and any additional payments made by the Buyer will not be refunded until after the said puppy has been purchased/paid in full by a new prospective family. Please click the green link below for more details about puppy boarding.
WE NOW OFFER SKYPE VIDEO CALLS FOR THOSE ON OUR WAITING LISTS!
