How We Raise Our Goldendoodle Puppies
Preparing your puppy for life starts on day one. Our structured program combines Early Neurological Stimulation, sensory exposure, and age‑appropriate training to produce confident, well‑mannered companions.

0–2 Weeks: Early Neurological Stimulation
From day two through day fourteen, each puppy receives daily ENS exercises—gentle tactile stimulation of the toes, holding upright and upside down, and brief exposure to a cool surface. These exercises encourage neurological growth and stress resilience. Puppies remain in our in‑home nursery under constant supervision.
-
2–4 Weeks: Sensory Exposure & Socialization
As eyes and ears open, we introduce a variety of sounds (crinkling paper, vacuum cleaners) and gentle human interaction. Puppies meet our children and adult dogs, learning to trust and explore.
-
4–6 Weeks: Potty & Crate Training
Potty training begins with litter‑box or tray systems to develop good habits. We expose puppies to tunnels, wobble boards and raised beds to build coordination and confidence. Crate acclimation starts with the door open and later closed.

6–8 Weeks: Basic Manners & Confidence
During the last weeks before adoption, puppies practice coming when called, waiting politely for attention and navigating stairs. We assess temperament and help match each puppy with the right family.
