My puppies are raised using a thoughtful, proven approach, with a strong focus on early neurological stimulation (ENS) and creating positive conditioned emotional responses (CERs).

From a young age, puppies are gently and consistently exposed to everyday experiences they will encounter in their new homes. For Havanese, this includes building positive associations with grooming and handling. Puppies are introduced to bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear and eye cleaning, and grooming tools such as clippers and dryers. They also learn to be comfortable on a grooming table and with handling of their face and feet.

Crate training is introduced early in a positive, stress-free way. By the time puppies go home, they are comfortable sleeping independently in a crate at night.

Potty training begins with their mother and continues under my care starting at approximately two weeks of age. Puppies learn to eliminate in a designated area, making the transition to outdoor training in their new homes much smoother.

Puppies go to their new homes between 10–12 weeks of age. Timing is based on each puppy’s individual development, ensuring they are emotionally and physically ready for a successful transition.
