There is a lot of talk about puppy socialization, but the truth is many breeders, owners, and even some veterinarian staff really do not know what it is. They just have an outdated idea.

I am passionate about Early Puppy Socialization and Training. I am a certified Puppy Start Right Preschool Instructor. I am proficient in the Puppy Culture program as well as many of it’s companion videos and books.  I am pursuing my dog training certification this Fall. You may be surprised to know that puppy socialization is so much more than puppies meeting the neighbor kids and other family pets.  While socialization is important throughout the first year of life, there is a crucial socialization period between 3-12 weeks (up to 16 weeks in some studies). What your puppy learns during this important developmental stage will likely shape his behavior for the rest of his life. We socialize your puppies to novel stimuli including but not limited to people, pets, surfaces, sounds, everyday house hold items, grooming/husbandry, and more. I also introduce clicker training and follow Puppy Culture Protocols. Proper early puppy socialization creates the foundation for enrichment seeking, confident, well adjusted, friendly companions. I support and practice science based, positive reinforcement.

Supernova Siberians uses online streaming and meeting software to allow new puppy families to follow their puppies socialization, enrichment and training from birth to 8 weeks. We have New Puppy Family Only meetings to discuss your puppies progress and discuss and problem solve common puppy behaviors before they go home! Puppy Culture is an investment and a very popular puppy program, sadly many breeders lie about using it. They emulate what they see other breeders doing resulting in protocols being done incorrectly if even at all. Puppy Socialization done incorrectly can actually cause fearful puppies and even create the problems we are trying to prevent! Beware of breeders using buzz words to make the sell but really they have no idea of what they are doing! We offer live steaming of Puppy Culture protocols and video recording of enrichment and socialization sessions. We don’t just throw toys in a pen to give the illusion that we know what we are doing, we give explanations of what the equipment and or activity provides and why we introduce it. Puppy Play has a purpose!

Our Private Puppy Parent Portal (password protected) on this website provides info and links for our new puppy parents.

Week 8: June 25 – July 1

• Dam begins to spend a lot more time grooming herself.
• Her breasts become swollen as her milk forms.
• Nesting begins as she looks for a place to have her puppies.
• The dam may not have as big of an appetite during this period. Her abdomen can be crowded with puppies.
• You can feel the puppies move now.
• Pups have fur and are more active in their crowded space. They move to get into position for birth.
• See if you can get her used to her whelping box

*estimated due date is based on the first tie and can change depending on the exact date ovulation took place.

We are getting the puppy room sanitized and organized. We have restocked the whelping kit and making sure all towels and bedding are rewashed and ready to go. Winter is doing well. She is still active but does take more rests. She searches me out now more then “normal”. This weekend I will be busy prepping after whelp (delivery) meals for added nutrition and extra calories.

The 3 pre birth deposits are reserved. Once the puppies are born picks 1-3 will choose and I will take deposits on the remaining puppies. (She has had 6 and 7 pups previously) If you are interested in a puppy from this litter please make sure I have a puppy questionnaire (application) on file!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. [email protected].

Winter is doing well. She is due next month. Her estimated due date is July 10th. Tyrion and Winter were kept together and had several ties over several days. Her due date (whelp date) can vary depending on when she was ovulating. My girls tend to go past their due dates so I am emphasizing ‘estimated” here.

You can view pregnancy progress below. I included last weeks info as well.

Week 5: June 4th – June 10th

• You may be able to feel the little puppies -they would be the small bumps in the abdomen.
• Development of toes, whisker buds, and claws.
• Eyes now close and gender can be determined.
• The puppies are now considered fully developed miniature dogs.
• She may be showing… She may also gain a little weight particularly if she is going to birth more than 1-2 puppies..

Week 6: June 11th – June 17th

• During the last several weeks, your dog’s nutritional needs nearly double.
• Your girl could start to be less comfortable, and could vomit on occasion.
• Feed small meals several times a day.
• Increase water.
• There may be some clear fluid discharge from the vulva. This is normal.
• Enlargment of mammary glands as nipples darken and enlarge.

Meetings: As one of the first breeders (the only one I know who does) to implement puppy family only virtual meetings, I have decided to continue these and make them a permanent part of our program. In these meeting we discuses litter progress, problem solve common puppy behaviors, foundation training, socialization and more. You are essentially getting a lite version of my puppy training class! The goal is to help you as much as possible to keep you from becoming frustrated and to keep puppies in their homes!! *I am certified to teach this information!

Live Streams: Facebook Live steams are broadcast from our Private Supernova Siberians Group only! This group is for our puppy families and deposit holders only! You will see socialization, enrichment and our Puppy Culture Protocols in action! We just don’t “say” we “do”!! Remember Puppy Culture is selling point and many breeders “say” they do it but simply don’t or they imitate what they see others do without knowing the science behind it and often do it incorrectly!!

Puppy Portal: Our Puppy Portal is located on our website and is for current puppy families (buyers) only. It is password protected and contains info, photos and updates. We plan to improve this area and it may contain “Puppy Cams” in the future.

One on One: We also offer one on one virtual pre pick up meetings where we can go over paperwork and address any concerns you may have.
