Hazel and Samson’s Reindeer Litter -
F1 Goldendoodles
Puppies are in a new environment with familiar and new toys. Larger boxes, bowls, and a textured mat were added to the environment.
The puppies get continued exposure to the tiny human so that we can teach them proper manners which include not jumping or biting and hands, feet, and clothing, as well as getting them accustomed to the noises and fast unpredictable movements that are common with children in the home. With each exposure they get better and better about not jumping or biting, which is especially good since they have puppy razor sharp teeth
Introducing objects that roll. Puppies are learning that the objects move, that they can walk trough them, and they can be fun to play with.
Puppies are beginning to find their voice and to play with each other. Time for toys! What in the world are these objects? Some roll, some jingle, and oh the shapes and textures!
Each puppy got just a few seconds of outside exposure. New smells and the feeling of sun on their face. Let's take a quick picture and back to Mamma.

Sit Stay practice at a festival.
Jasmine tries out a bigger slide.
Jasmine is just beginning to learn to the down command. In the first phase, she is lured down with a treat and given the treat when she gets into the down position. The command is not given, because at this stage words mean nothing to her.
Aladdin is excited to get to his handler. He didn't mind the slippery texture of the playground steps since he had a small slide of similar texture to play on as a younger pup.
Aladdin is dragging his leash and choosing to follow his handler. Dragging the leash allows us the security to pick up the leash if we feel he is in danger, but also allows him to make free will choices.
Not bad for this new puppy!
Added a textured mat to the puppy play area today. New textures introduced slowly is not so overwhelming. They get distracted by playing with the toys and accidentally step on the mat. Some notice it and cautiously approach. Building confidence with textures!
Balls! What are these things that roll?! I think I like them!
First time outdoors. Check out how his nose is taking in the outside smells. Instinctual way to learn about his environment.
This place smells different....Hey where did everybody go?
Early Neural Stimulation exercises.
Soft toys!
Exposure to raised slippery surface and going under the slide into a small area.
Puppies first time hearing and seeing the TV on above them. I think they liked it. Can we watch the Animal Planet channel?
Jasmine is practicing the Sit command.
Moana is working on the Sit command. She will practice it gradually with more and more distractions.
Aladdin is getting some beginning practice with the stay command. Having his on a raised surface allows for less of a chance of him breaking the stay.
Aladdin has been handled since birth. He is used to having his mouth, ears, nose, feet, legs, tail, and body touched. This makes it easier for vet check ups, grooming, for training and for puppy cuddles.
Aladdin is practicing some obedience training at the park! He is working on Sit, Come, and Walking on a leash.

Puppies are getting another towel bath. Their spa time not only cleans them, but also assists them to be more tolerant of something rubbing them, standing in water, and gives them some one on one time away from momma and siblings. As goldendoodles the puppies will get groomed often.
Puppies are being introduced to soft toys and a little human.
Canine Communication: Maybe something like this.. Momma: Where did you two go? Answer me when I call you! Mulan: We are here!! I am not sure where here is...but here we are!
Soft toys!
Exposure to new play area of grass and to being outdoors!
New play area! The balls got to come too!
