I have been breeding doodles for over 7 years. I’m dedicated to raising happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies in a loving home environment. Using ENS, ESI, and Puppy Culture methods, I help each puppy build confidence and strong foundations from the start. It’s a joy to watch them grow and connect them with families who will love them for years to come.
We start early neurological stimulation as soon as our puppies are born. This process, known as early neurological stimulation (ENS), involves introducing gentle, controlled stress to puppies between 3-16 days old. These mild challenges help support the development of their immune systems and improve their ability to handle stress by activating and strengthening their neurological systems.
Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is another practice we use at Bella’s. This method helps our puppies develop stronger nose awareness and build confidence by encouraging them to identify and respond to different scents. Like Early Neurological Stimulation, ESI is introduced between days 3-16 of a puppy’s life and plays an important role in supporting healthy growth and development.
Puppy Culture is a structured program breeders follow during a puppy’s first 8 weeks to develop communication, emotional stability, health, enrichment, and life skills. It can also be continued by new owners, with the first 16 weeks being the most impactful for development. Around 3 weeks of age, puppies begin early potty training using a designated area, which helps them quickly learn appropriate habits and makes the transition to housebreaking easier. Many new owners remark on how quickly these puppies learn and adapt. Do you have more questions?
Each puppy receives thorough veterinary care to ensure a healthy start. Puppies are examined by a veterinarian between 6–7 weeks of age and will go home with a certificate of health included in their puppy pack. They receive a parvo vaccine at 5 weeks, followed by their first age-appropriate 5-way puppy combination vaccine at 8 weeks, which includes an additional dose of parvo protection before going to their new homes. All puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. Prior to going home, each puppy is also microchipped. New owners will receive a microchip tag for the collar along with instructions on how to register the chip in their name.
