It is unrealistic to think that any puppy would be fully trained at 8 weeks old. Not only am I am breeder, I am a positive reinforcement trainer specializing in puppy development, socialization and training. I am a certified Puppy Start Right Preschool Instructor. Our puppies all go though age and developmentally appropriate socialization and enrichment activities. All of our Puppies are raised with the Puppy Culture program. We do extensive enrichment and socialization activities, protocols based on developmental stages, as well as introducing clicker training, potty box training, crate conditioning, Introducing collar and leash, we also desensitize puppies to typical household sounds, city and nature sounds as well as fireworks and thunderstorms. We also do in depth socialization and play “games” that help with resource guarding (food, toys, etc). It is up to you to continue to socialize and train your pup.  We recommend all puppies continue Puppy Culture and attend an Early Puppy Socialization class followed by a basic manners class.
