Puppy Culture
Breeding healthy dogs is just one piece of the puzzle for us. Stable temperament is very high on our focus after health and what we focus on with our families before we start looking at color preferences. Breeding solid, confident, well rounded puppies starts with good genetics, but it is important to set them up with positive socialization experiences. Introducing puppies early on to small, well controlled experiences has been shown to produce healthier puppies, happier puppies.

Here at Pacific Northwest Doodles we utilize the Puppy Culture protocols that sets the great breeders apart from the good breeders. There are a lot of Bordoodle and Bernedoodle breeders in the Pacific Northwest, but there are not a lot of breeders utilizing Puppy Culture. For those wanting a service dog, therapy dog, or a well bred family pet, puppies raised with Early Neurological Stimulation and Puppy Culture are going to be easier to train, more focused, handle themselves in stressful situations better and overall be more stable and confident dogs.

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) is a series of five specific and carefully timed exercises completed once per day and for no more than five seconds per exercise. ENS is different than just regular handling, and while each of our puppies are handled multiple times a day, ENS is that extra step that we do here at PNWD.
Specifically, ENS has been shown to
1. Improve cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
2. Produce stronger heart beats
3. Stronger adrenal glands
4. More tolerance to stress
5. Greater resistance to disease
“Puppy Culture explores in detail the critical early periods of development that each puppy goes through as well as what you can do to increase your odds of raising a happy, socially successful, and trainable dog”- Puppy Culture
“These exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected, the result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance” – Dr. Battaglia (Read more about ENS, what exercises are completed and why here)
