What social media doesn’t tell you about our puppies
|
Hey Reader If you’re anything like me, you will never scroll past a cute puppy pic on social media. ESPECIALLY if they’re brand new. But what those pictures don’t show (especially if you’re not a breeder) is that each photo is part of a much bigger plan. Around here, we don’t just snap pics for the “aww” factor (though… that’s definitely a perk). That puppy laying calmly while a toddler giggles nearby? That little one poking around a basket of toys? Every staged scene, every silly setup, every cuddle sesh on the couch, it’s all part of our socialization strategy. Because those early weeks are when all the magic happens. Their little brains are wide open, soaking up the world like a sponge. So we use that time to introduce textures, voices, floor surfaces, music, handling, even vacuum sounds, so by the time they go home, they’ve got a solid head start on confidence and adaptability. So the next time you see one of our pups in a cute photo, know that behind the fluff is serious, thoughtful work. This is why Fox Ridge puppies settle in so well. It starts early, and it’s on purpose. We’ve got upcoming litters (eep!) and if this kind of intentional puppy raising speaks to your heart, go ahead and check out our nursery. Talk soon, P.S. Check out the nursery and get on the waitlist before the next wave of golden fluff arrives.

And if you don’t know what’s normal, and what’s not, you’ll spend those months frustrated, covered in bite marks, and wondering if you adopted a Golden or a piranha. Here’s...
Hey Reader Dog’s walked on leashes sometimes don’t care that they’re on a leash… and they definitely don’t care that you’re attached to the other end of it, especially if they’re on a mission. So, if you dread walking your dog because… well… your 70 lb Golden is actually walking you, keep reading because we’ve got a trick for you. First thing’s first... you are the boss.That doesn’t mean being harsh or yanking them back every five steps. It means setting the tone before you ever hit the...
Hey Reader, If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably bought your fair share of “must-have” puppy toys… ropes, squeakers, tennis balls, plush animals, you name it. You bring them home, expecting your puppy to lose their mind over the new squeaky duck… and instead, they run right past it to chew on your shoelace. Here’s the thing your puppy isn’t telling you… Their favorite toy isn’t the one with the loudest squeak or the fanciest packaging. It’s you. Your voice.Your attention.Your time....
