Litter and program updates

Program update on 17 Jan. •
Mary F.
Litter update on 17 Jan. •…Pups are doing wonderfully. They are learning some basic commands, are about 75% on using Pee Pads, and they are getting used to having their nails dremeled. I use Early Neurological Stimulation ENS to help Pups be confident and solid minded to different sights and sounds. I want the transition from me to their new families to be as easy and seamless as possible for them. They are doing a little crate training and will have a start on the leash before leaving.
