Bella's 2019 Spring Litter Update 

Philosophy and Methods

Chapels Golden puppies are raised right in our home using the Puppy Culture method, and are given the best possible head start through Early Neurological Stimulation and interactive concepts that promote brain development and mental enrichment. They are exposed to everyday life from the beginning - our children, dogs, cat, & once old enough will be allowed to venture outside safely & other interesting sights, smells & sounds. They will be desensitized to normal household noises like vacuums & radio, & come well started on potty training for a smooth transition into your family. Socialization is our #1 priority to make sure each puppy gets the best possible start in life during this critical time.

From Day 1, we are involved in handling the puppies. They are interacted with from birth and weighed daily for the first few weeks to ensure they're thriving. Starting on Day 3, we begin Early Neurological Stimulation. This method is comprised of 5 exercises that, when performed daily between days 3-16, has been shown to have a lifetime impact on the following: Improved cardio vascular performance Stronger heart beats Stronger adrenal glands More tolerance to stress Greater resistance to disease The 5 exercises include:  Tactical stimulation (stroking between toes with Q-tip) Head held erect (puppy held in upright position) Head pointed down (puppy held with head pointed down) Supine Position (puppy held on back) Thermal stimulation (puppy placed feet down on cool washcloth) The exercises are done for 5 seconds each, every day until Day 16. By then, puppies have eyes open and are starting to walk and explore their environment. From that point on, we introduce new objects to the whelping box each day - crinkle toys, plastic water bottles, rattles, interactive story-telling stuffed animals...everything we place in the whelping box is interesting to them!

Week 1-3
are quiet, calm, and cozy in our puppy room. For the first three weeks of the puppies' lives, I sleep in our puppy room right next to the whelping box to keep an eye on our golden mama and her babies. We monitor the litter 24 hours a day to make sure that no one is accidentally laid on by mom, pushed aside during meal time, or too cold/too hot. Puppies are born blind and deaf, so it is extremely important that they are kept under close watch during those first few critical weeks. I am also right there with mama helping her tend to her babies and recover from the whelping. The early weeks are spent cuddling, doing ENS exercises as described above, weighing puppies, deworming, trimming nails, and staring in amazement at each beautiful little miracle. By the end of the third week, the puppies have gone from deaf & blind little fur dumplings that scoot around seeking heat and a nipple to an active puppy that can see, hear, walk, play and are starting to run. Time to upgrade!

Week 3
At 3 weeks old, the puppies graduate from the whelping box to the puppy pen. We start with a smaller area...about 5x6ft... and introduce a litter pan. Once the babies have gotten the hang of using the litter pan consistently (usually within a week), their pen gets expanded little by little. By 6.5-7 weeks old, they have the run of the whole 10x12ft room. Our Puppy Room is filled with interactive toys and equipment that changes every few days. Some of the items we place in there include a 4 foot tunnel, soft gym climber, sensory gym with hanging toys, stuffed animals, wobble board, ball pit, etc. We also let them experience different footing surfaces. Astro-turf, linoleum, tile, blanket, shag rug, wood, etc. 
At 3 weeks old we also introduce food - a sloppy mixture of softened Purina ProPlan Sport and goat's milk yogurt to start. The first meal is always very messy and adorable! As they grow, we use meal time to introduce mild challenges to the puppies for even more mental stimulation - sometimes they'll have to climb over or go around a barrier to reach their food dish. Other days they have to use their nose to find the food. These exercises mold their brains and have lasting positive effects throughout their lives. As the puppies get older, we incorporate a variety of raw meats, as well as healthy veggies, into their ProPlan puppy food and goat's yogurt meals. They love the variety and we like that it gets their digestive systems used to different foods.

Week 5 -6
When puppies are 5 weeks old, we start taking them outside for time in our Outdoor Puppy Playground. They thoroughly enjoy this! Their outdoor play exposes them to a whole new set of sights, sounds, and smells, and also solidifies what we started indoors for potty training. Our puppy owners will attest that our puppies are extremely easy to potty train once they leave here. 
At 5-6 weeks, the babies start spending a lot of time outside of the Puppy Room to explore our living room, dining room, and kitchen. A vacuum cleaner may be turned on and left running while puppies are playing in the same room. I sweep the floor and mop. We play music or turn the T.V. on to expose them to different sounds. Friends visit to socialize the litter, and families who are receiving a puppy from the litter get to meet the babies for the first time. Our other adult dogs are introduced for supervised play, and teach them a lot about dog behavior and communication. During this time, we are also working on specific behavior training methods through Puppy Culture, using training treats and rewards. We also take the puppies individually for short car rides. They learn about daily life pretty quickly and by 8 weeks are well adjusted to just about anything they will face in their new homes.
Weeks 7-8
At 7 weeks old, each puppy undergoes a Temperament Evaluation. We use the Volhard test for this and it consists of 10 exercises performed by someone the pups don't know. Exercises include things like opening an umbrella next to them, dropping something loud, and encouraging them to follow a stranger.
