Homing Process
Before our litters are born we ask interested families to send us detailed description of their family lifestyle, work hours, care plan etc.
We are of course looking for families that can provide a 5 star home and a lifetime of love and care for our little ones.
You will be asked questions about your previous and current dogs, if you have a fenced garden, if you plan on to spay or neuter ect. We want the best for them, we always agree to take them back if you can no longer care for them.
We are here for you for the future concerns. We are here for you for a lifetime of support!
Once our litter arrives and they are thriving, we begin to consider homes for them. To secure one of our puppies, we ask for a non refundable deposit. We then send you regular updates and pictures to the reserved families.
We are always available to answer any questions before and after collection of your puppy to help make the transition as perfect and as smooth as possible.
Crate Training
We strongly advise that when you get a new puppy, you house train them through crate training. Dogs do not like to go to the toilet in their own bed and will therefore try to move as far away as possible to do so.
By using a crate, this teaches them to wait to go to the toilet until they are let outside of their crate. Once letting your puppy out of their crate, you should place them outside in your garden or an area in which you would like them to go to the toilet .
After a success, you should say a command which will then be repeated when necessary, so your puppy will recognise that this means go to the toilet. Make sure to provide them with ample positive reinforcement “good boy/girl!” and make a fuss of them to emphasise that you are extremely pleased with what they just did.
This will encourage them to repeat the action of going to the toilet outside, as they will associate this experience with plenty of praise.
Only allow your puppy indoors once they have been to the toilet. You do not want to let them back in too soon, only for them to have an accident the moment they’re indoors! By sticking to this method, you can have your puppy house-trained in a matter of weeks, depending on how strict and persistent you are.
Keep the bare minimum in your puppy’s crate, such as a mattress and sturdy toys, you don’t want them to be able to break their toys and ingest materials. Do not line your crate with newspaper or puppy pads; this will just encourage them to go to the toilet in their crate, when you’re trying to deter them from this!
Before you go to bed, you should ensure your puppy has been thoroughly exercised and is in a relaxed state of mind – a puppy will not settle with excess energy! Put your puppy out in the garden and wait for them to go to the toilet before bringing them back in.
Put your puppy in their crate and leave them to settle down as you go off to bed. If they cry, you mustn’t pander to them, as this will teach them that crying will attract your attention and they will end up doing this all night. As conflicting as this may be, you must teach them that this behavior will not achieve anything.
However, if they settle and then start crying after a long period of time, they may need to go to the toilet. You will need to put your puppy straight outside with no fuss whatsoever and then only praise them once they have been to the toilet. Bring them back indoors once they have relieved themselves and put them back in their crate with minimal interaction, so you can catch up on your sleep.
You can purchase a 30” crate before collecting your puppy, which is medium sized and suitable for your puppy throughout their life. You may however want to swap the crate for a bed once your puppy has reached maturity and can be trusted in their environment. Some dogs may prefer sleeping in their own crate as it has become their safe space, so this is something you will have to monitor as training progresses.
All our dogs and puppies have radios on at night therefore background noise when your puppy first comes home might be preferable. We also recommend covering the crate with a blanket to make your puppy feel more secure.
