At McKenzie River Doodles, we focus on producing well-rounded puppies with exceptional temperaments, strong social skills, and a solid developmental foundation. Through intentional breeding, early socialization, neurological stimulation, confidence-building exercises, and positive reinforcement training, we strive to help each puppy reach its fullest potential as a beloved family companion, therapy dog, or future service dog.
Our mission is simple: Raise confident, intelligent, affectionate Double Doodles that enrich the lives of the families they join.
Our goal is to provide every puppy with a strong foundation for success before joining their forever family.
Early Neurological Stimulation is a series of carefully designed exercises performed during the first weeks of life.
These exercises gently introduce puppies to mild challenges during critical developmental periods.
Socialization involves introducing puppies to a wide variety of experiences during their developmental stages.
Proper socialization helps reduce fear, build confidence, and create dogs that are comfortable in the world around them.
Confidence-building exercises help puppies learn that new experiences are safe and rewarding.
Confident dogs are more adaptable, less fearful, and better equipped to handle life's challenges.
Desensitization gradually introduces puppies to sights, sounds, and experiences they may encounter throughout life.
Reduces sensitivity and help puppies remain calm when encountering unfamiliar situations.
Counter conditioning teaches puppies to associate potentially stressful experiences with positive outcomes.
This process helps create positive emotional responses and reduces the likelihood of fear-based behaviors developing later in life.
Before leaving for their new homes, puppies begin learning age-appropriate manners.
Foundational manners provide the building blocks for future obedience and advanced training.
Our puppies begin learning the concepts behind basic obedience training through positive reinforcement.
These early lessons help make future training easier and more enjoyable.
We begin introducing puppies to age-appropriate potty routines.
Our goal is to have every puppy be fully house-trained before going home, this early training and reinforcement help families continue the process successfully.
Crate training begins early to help puppies view their kennel as a safe and comfortable space.
Proper crate training supports house training, travel, safety, and lifelong confidence. Our goal is to have every puppy be fully crate trained when they transition into their new home.
