Birth to day 7: 24/7 monitoring, dam care, equal nutrition and early observation.
Five-stage sensory integration
Our Program
A structured early-learning program that pairs each puppy development stage with obedience, etiquette, socialization and support.
What separates the program
Learning begins when the puppy's senses are ready for it.
Dorenlee staff and handlers are experienced in canine behavior and weekly puppy development. As hearing, sight and scent develop, the team introduces desired commands and manners in a way puppies can absorb.
The goal is a calm, confident puppy who has already begun building communication, obedience, bathroom routines and social trust before leaving for a new home.
Stage by stage
The puppy program from birth through breeder support.
Early Neurological Stimulation to gently build resilience and body awareness.
Imprinting obedience and proper elimination while the senses begin to open.
Building on sensory bathroom training with routine, scent and consistency.
Expanding integrated commands through auditory, visual and scent cues.
Puppy pick week, when temperament and family fit become clearer.
An individualized puppy plan for the home, family or working goal.
Breeder support and consultation after your puppy comes home.
Auditory
Verbal cues are introduced as the puppy's hearing develops so commands become familiar early.
Visual
Handlers pair hand signals, posture and routine with commands to build a broader communication language.
Scent
Scent is used thoughtfully because it is a canine's earliest and strongest sense.
Support
Families receive breeder support and can access training consultation as their puppy settles in.
