Children are a very important part of our puppy training.

Pink’s new friend 🥰 💗 🫠 Since we don’t have children at home this is one of the main reasons we take the time to travel with the puppies to these long weekends of puppy socialization. They get to interact with lots of children and they love it!!! Pink surely enjoyed her new friend and massage 😜 😉 She loved him and wouldn’t in in in no no go away from him. #stbernardkingdom #children #family #love #friends #dogs #puppies #puppy #saintbernard #massage #viralpost #instagram #dog #highlights

Puppy Manding vs. Demanding: The Royal Litter Edition! 👑🐾 Ever see an entire litter of 8-week-old puppies sit politely while their food bowls are being put down? Meet the Royal Litter! At just 8 weeks old, these puppies are already mastering the difference between demanding and manding. ❌ Demanding looks like: Jumping on legs, Biting at hands, Loud frantic barking, Pulling at clothes, Barking or biting out of impatience is a common puppy habit. But if you reward that behavior with food, you teach them that demanding works! ✅ Manding looks like: A polite, automatic sit, Waiting calmly for eye contact, Choosing not to bite or pull, even when excited. (Sample of early morning feeding in video with original audio) How we do it: We teach them that polite behavior makes good things happen. Even when they get a little impatient, they control their impulses. They choose to wait rather than grab! Building this foundation now means they will grow into calm, well-mannered adult dogs. Their future families are going to thank us! ❤️

👑 The Royal Litter Turns 8 Weeks Old! 👑Whew, it is a scorcher here in Alabama today! 🥵 But we didn’t let the heat stop us from having the absolute BEST 8-week birthday celebration! Here is how our big day went: 💦 Pool Party? Not Quite! Mom set up a cool kiddie pool and a running water hose for us. Did we actually step foot in the pool? Nope, not a single paw! 😆 There was way too much excitement going on, and getting splashed by the hose was plenty of fun anyway! 🐾 The Ultimate Surprise! Suddenly, the doors swung open and Grandma let us out to play with Daddy Solomon! 🥹 We couldn't believe it! We got to experience real grass, wrestling, and exploring for the very first time. It was SO cool! We love our Dad so much—he is so big, gentle, and calm ❤️. 🛁 Spa Day Success!Just when we thought we were done and ready to pass out on the porch's nice, cold cement... surprise again! It was time for our very first full bath and blow dry. 🧼💨 And guess what? We did AMAZING! As the "Royal Litter," 👑 we knew we had to mind our manners and make everyone proud. 😜 Afterwards we headed inside for a delicious lunch and a long, well-deserved nap. 💤🍿🎥 Stay tuned! Lots of adorable pictures and videos from our big day are coming soon!

🐾 THE ROYAL LITTER DOES YOGA: Inside Puppy Socialization! 🧘‍♂️👑🐶 We often get asked why we focus so heavily on socializing our puppies at 7 weeks old—especially when they’ve only just had their first round of puppy vaccines. Isn't it safer to keep them entirely tucked away until they are fully vaccinated? According to veterinary behavior experts, the answer is actually no! Behavioral issues, not infectious diseases, are the leading cause of dogs losing their homes. Balancing health safety with early exposure is the greatest gift we can give these puppies. That is why for 2-3 weekends they participate in an incredibly special, highly controlled event: Indoor Puppies & Yoga! By strictly following the scientifically backed Puppy Culture program, we used this event to maximize their developmental window in the safest environment possible. 👇 🧘‍♂️ Why Puppies & Yoga? Puppies go through a critical "socialization window" between 3 and 14 weeks of age where their brains are uniquely wired to accept new things as completely normal. This indoor event brings about the "enrichment effect" protocol: * Novel Human Shapes: Instead of just standing or sitting, humans were stretching, lying down, and moving in unusual ways. This teaches the puppies that human bodies come in all shapes and movements! * Startle & Recovery: The gentle rustle of yoga mats and soft background music provided the perfect low-level sensory stimulation to build their emotional resilience. * Calm Association: Because yoga is inherently peaceful, the Royal Litter learned to associate a room full of new people with deep relaxation and calm energy. 🏆 The Lifetime Benefits By combining early socialization we are setting the Royal Litter up to be: * Emotionally Resilient: They develop a high bounce-back rate, recovering from new sights and sounds in seconds instead of panicking. * Highly Adaptable: They learn to remain completely relaxed in bustling indoor environments with groups of people from different ages, races, scents, sunglasses, hats, etc. * Anti-Aggressive: Gentle, positive exposure prevents fear-based reactivity toward strangers or unique human movements later in life. 🛡️ Safety First: Our Strict Yoga Precautions Because a single vaccine dose only offers partial immunity, we never compromise on their health. This indoor event was custom-tailored to be 100% safe: * 🚫 Controlled Indoor Environment: The event was held strictly indoors on freshly sanitized floors. I arrive early enough to the event to help sanitize well the studio. “Rescue” products are our go too. No outside dogs are allowed. * 🧼 Footwear & Hygiene Protocols: Every single yogi sanitized their hands upon entering, removed their shoes, and used freshly sanitized mats to prevent tracking in any outside germs. * 👑 The "Royal VIP" Treatment: Preventing exposure environment to canine diseases like parvovirus I wipe the puppies body, belly and paws after each class with a dot of baby shampoo, dry and brush before they go for their “in between nap”. I also use the Natural Antibiotic for dogs and puppies from SalutempPets and their Probiotics as well. I make sure that they have lots of fresh water at all times adding Puppy Lite for better hydration and extra electrolytes. * 🔊 Positive Reinforcement: Every interaction is completely positive, choice-based, and filled with quiet praise to build ultimate confidence. They are not forced to play, can’t be woken up if they fall asleep, they have their own resting area with water and bedding to go to when they choose too. They get to rest with soft music in between classes and they ultimately get to have lots of FUN! The Royal Litter is getting the absolute best, most scientifically proven start to life—all while helping our yogis find their zen! 🧘‍♀️✨

Crate training it’s going well 🥰 Last night Moose, 7 weeks old, was able to stay in the crate all by himself for a fair short period of time! These puppies have amazing temperaments!

The hustle was real, but the nap was realer. 😂I spent a solid ten minutes trying to convince Mom to give me the last piece of her breakfast sandwich. When that failed, I had to resort to Phase 2: guarding the tray with my life until I accidentally passed out. Nobody touches the prize! 🐶🥪💤 Moose
