Picking up your puppy

The time has finally come to pick up your puppy and we welcome you to come pick up in person. We can't wait to meet you! We know that you are excited to bring your puppy home, but please keep these things in mind when coming to our home.

We have a designated area on our property for puppy pick ups
Please limit visitors to two adults only
We ask that you do not bring any other animals to our home
Some of our dogs are on site, unless they are in Guardian Homes
Please use the restroom before before arrival

We also offer delivery on a case by case basis and may be able to meet you. We do charge a transportation fee for this service.

The car ride home

Coming home will start out with a car ride. Try to keep this from being an overly stressful experience for the pup. The main problem dogs have with car rides is usually not what we refer to as motion sickness, but simple anxiety about the vibrations, sounds and movement of your vehicle. Many dogs that have developed problems with car rides get nervous or even nauseous before the engine is even started. It is important that this first trip not be a bad experience that regresses into a repetitious behavioral pattern. Before you leave us we will try to get the puppy to use the bathroom so there are no surprises. On this first trip home, we break a cardinal rule about traveling with pets. We do not put them in a crate for traveling. Remember, they are small and easy to hold. Rather, we have someone other than the driver hold the puppy in a blanket or towel and talk or in some way try to distract them from the ride. If you have a long way to go and need to stop for the puppy to relieve itself, please do not use a highway rest stop. At a young age, puppies have very little, if any, protection from common dog diseases, and these areas can easily be contaminated with the organisms causing these conditions.

The first few days home

Leaving their mom and litter mates will probably bring about some anxiety and stress for your puppy. However, this can be greatly diminished if you plan your schedule so that you will be home with the puppy the first 3 to 4 days. Some people suggest leaving the puppy alone and give them time alone to adjust to their new surroundings. We disagree. In our home, we plan for this introductory period by keeping the puppy involved with plenty of attention from children and other family members. When we are not with the puppy, they are sleeping. You will be amazed how time spent in this manner will speed up the housebreaking process. If the children are young or are not familiar with how to handle puppies, you should spend some time with them during these first few days explaining common sense rules on how to play with the puppy.

Please feed your puppy as directed on bag by weight 2x a day. Suggested times for meals are 6-8 am and 4-6 pm. Remember, if you control intake you will control output. Give food and water only in their crate with door open, this is when you start crate training. Take puppy out to potty every 2 hrs at a minimum during the day. Take water away no later than 9:30 pm. Make the last potty outing around 11:30 pm and then wake up in the night around 2:30 am and 5:30 am. It takes time to train a puppy and potty breaks in the middle of the night will help significantly.
