First beach day! These babies loved the water! We couldn’t stay long because it’s dangerously hot this weekend but they enjoyed their quick beach excursion!

We’re learning important skills through play! These babies are doing great with potty training, night time sleep training, leash training, and learning important social skills from mom and their siblings. We have two puppies going home this weekend, and we’re excited for their families! That leaves two puppies that would love to join a family! 🐶🥰

It's vet check day!
Our puppies were seen at Arendell Animal Hospital for their checkup, fecal test, and 1st puppy vaccine. They all got the "ready to go home" approval from our vet.

The puppies are now mostly pine pellet litter box trained! These are wood pellets from Tractor Supply, about $7 for a 40 pound bag. They smell like wood so the puppies will easily transition to going potty outside. I recommend adding a bag to your puppy supplies. You may choose to use a shallow litter pan for your puppy’s play area, especially if you’ll be at work or away from your puppy for any length of time. It may help with quicker house breaking to sprinkle some pellets on the grass where you want your puppy to potty.

Today is deep clean and spa day! Every puppy got a bath and nail trim. While they were drying, we deep cleaned the play yard. Now they smell like coconut and puppy breath!

We've outgrown the whelping box, and have moved into the play yard! We're learning how to walk on slick flooring, how to listen to our siblings when we're playing too rough, and we're beginning to recognize the pine pellet litter box as the place to go potty. Lots of growth will happen in the next 2 weeks!

Tina was a pleasure to work with! Sadie (was Orange Collar Girl) has made an excellent addition to our family! She came to our home well socialized and ready to take on the world! At 6 months she has already become a very confident and inquisitive pup and it is very clear to me Tina’s program played a huge role in that. If you are looking for your newest addition you won’t go wrong with her program!

I would highly recommend getting a puppy from Crab Point. My puppy, Sydney, was almost completely house trained when she came home. Tina did a great job getting the puppies used to other people and animals, and I plan to purchase again in the future
