We took our puppy Rachel home (we renamed her Maycie--to match all of our "M" names ;) 5 days ago and I have to write this review to say thank you to Justin and the whole team at Sweet Puppy Paws!
The way they've set up their facility with doggie doors means that our puppy was so well pre-trained for housebreaking that when she is playing in her pen in our family room, she already scratches or whines, to go outside. She's only 9 weeks old!! She isn't perfectly housetrained yet, of course. But what a great experience so far. Our 3 1/2 year old lab from a different breeder took months to reliably get to this stage because she and her littermates were trained to go inside their pen. So again, a big thank you to Justin and the team, for giving us this head start, by raising her with a doggie door to go outside to a fenced area, 24/7.
Also, our new puppy is extremely well socialized. She adjusted quickly to our home and is very affectionate, comfortable with us and relaxed with people that we're excitedly introducing her to. She's eagerly asking for playtime with our older lab and we are amazed at how well they're doing together already. Shout out to online trainer Zak George for helping us handle the introduction.
I could tell after the team introduced us to our puppy's parents that she got her great temperament from them. Mama was even coming up to me for pets after having just met me for the first time.
Before leaving for home, we received our AKC registration application, medical and vaccination records and a well-prepared packet of things to get us started. We know from experience that puppies can have softer stool as they transition to their new homes, so I'm happy that the team sent us home with tubes of prebiotics/probiotics that our puppy was already trained to easily take.
Our puppy has been well cared for, Justin and team have given her a great start to her new life in our home. Michelle
