Puppy Culture ~ Rearing Puppies The Right Way

Posted on by

Dvd’s, books and now a Puppy Culture Workbook available for sale by clicking the above links.

Information on Puppy Culture taken from their website.

I received my workbook during the rearing of Glory’s litter.

 

What is the new Puppy Culture workbook about?

A companion to the original Puppy Culture film, our Workbook Kit ties it all together!
  • A weekly nuts and bolts timeline and organizer of what to do when, based on the development of YOUR puppies.
  • Our charts, records, worksheets and handy at-a-glance pages have you covered so you can spend less time worrying about whether you’re doing everything you should be doing and more time relaxing and enjoying all the fun Puppy Culture activities!
  • Customizable and expandable – Just like puppies, no two people learn in quite the same way. So we chose a three ring binder format that you can customize to suit your learning style.  You can take pages out, move them to the back or front as you use them, add your own material or notes, or just group and reorganize things as you please.
  • A complete record of your litter and their developmental milestones so you can fine tune your activities with future litters and develop  your own “best practices.”  * Puppy Culture

Below are pages from the workbook. I’m excited to fill out the worksheets from this litter and then compare it to the litters to come. You can buy refill sheets for your next litters.

I’d like to give a general response to the common question which generally goes like this:
“I recommended Puppy Culture (https://goo.gl/NaxuLo) to a breeder and they say they already do ENS and toys and socialization and don’t need Puppy Culture. I would like to encourage the breeder to use Puppy Culture but I don’t want to be confrontational. How can I explain the value of Puppy Culture succinctly?”
My answer:
I think the biggest advantage to Puppy Culture for breeders who might already be doing a some or even all of the protocols in the film is that Puppy Culture gives a more organized approach.
Obviously, I was doing everything that is in Puppy Culture before I made the film, but it was more seat of the pants – I can definitely say that, even for myself, my litters have benefitted since I made the film.
When I was making the film I had to ask myself why and make a case for every protocol at every juncture – this is what led to my reaching out to so many additional vets and experts. And, based on this research, I made subtle but powerful changes to when and how and why I did things, and that has had a remarkable effect on my own litters.
And I do see my litters differently now, I see more details about when and how different things happen behaviorally and I’m just more in tune with what each individual puppy needs when.
Whereas before we would do certain things at certain times and then “diagnose” the puppies as being good or bad at things, distracted or checked in and attribute many behavioral things to “temperament,” I now have less of a blanket approach.
I have a more nuanced view of development and I understand that different traits and abilities can emerge differently and at different times and I am less likely to saddle a puppy with a “label” and more likely to work with the puppy to tease out the strengths in that puppy’s character. Still all the same protocols, but weaving them in and out differently.
So, in sum, Puppy Culture is not about the “What,” of raising puppies, it’s about the “Why,” – obviously a perfect framework for a new breeder but certainly also a “booster” for any puppy rearing program, even if they are physically doing all the protocols in Puppy Culture!

Manding is “Requesting” – the niners manding for a treat after they came in from outside.

This was one of many proud breeders moments when my puppies mand for different things while growing up in my home. Hopefully all I have done with them will show in the weeks, months and years ahead with their new owners. The first eight weeks is just a start, there are more steps to the puppy culture program and more fear periods that the puppies will face in the coming months it is now up the the puppy buyers to ensure these puppies continue to be confident little souls. Puppy Culture isn’t just for the breeder it is for the new owners too. Puppy buyers can benefit from the DVD series along with other training/show information that puppy culture offers.

If you click on the Puppy Culture picture on the right sidebar and purchase any materials I will receive a small commission as I am a PC affiliate. This is a program that I truly believe in and wouldn’t raise my litters any other ways. I have puppy buyers ask me if I raise my litters with puppy culture as they will only buy PC puppies.

    I’m sure those eight weeks are chaotic and it is easy to put things off or lose track. What a great way to keep things running the way they should, and it makes it so easy to keep records.

      Mand is “Manding” The pups sit for a response without me asking them to sit. They learn that by sitting politely they will get a treat or a pet. They learn to sit when new situations arise and think about it vs being little savages and jumping all over you or running off because they are scared.

    I love how organized you are as a breeder. Your buyers know they are getting a puppy that has been tested, loved and socialized to become a perfect best friend.

    it’s a fabulous idea to keep all things together… and I can only second what pierre and bentley said… you are a wonderful breeder and your clients are blessed to get a pup from you…

    What a busy eight weeks you must have had! I can definitely see where getting organized with the help of Puppy Culture can be so important. I always admire you for all you do to help your puppies turn into well balanced family members!
