UNSOLICTED TESTIMONIAL HERE:

We picked up a lab pup from Rainshadow/Steve a couple months ago.   He's about 3.5 months old now, I think.

He is without a doubt the smartest, kindest, quickest learning pup in the history of pups.

I simply can't say enough good about Steve's pups.

This is actually the 2nd pup we've taken home from Steve.  The first was a pup he donated to a charity auction.   Keeping that pup overnight was enough to convince my wife and I that we actually did want another dog (we were pretty sure we were done.)

You can see the love and care he puts into rearing amazing pups.

If you are wondering about the breeder, he has my 100% confidence.

Again, 100% unsolicited.
I just know that not all dog breeders are the same, and these pups get the best possible care, attention and training.

Thanks Dan, the feedback I'm getting from new owners is really something else. It's working. They're learning from DAY ONE that they're supposed to look to Master first, before going after what they want. WEEKS before they get to their new home! It's engrained. Then you don't have to break the self-centeredness in order to start... they're already started. It's working awesome!

Bella's Puppies are doing great with food dish training, and looking for eye contact to get permission.

Leia's Puppies are doing great with gate training, and the food dish manners  are getting established.

We will be switching the litters between puppy areas this week to focus on the other discipline, and to expose them to different environmental situations. This scenario is going to be great for their exposure conditioning, and ability to mentally and emotionally adjust to different situations. (I will be incorporating these kinds of adjustments into future litters as well... as a graduated continuation of ENS... It's like puppy graduate school!)

I'm trying to improve all dog ownership here...
I am really investing time into my puppy whelping routine, and I am getting some REALLY encouraging feedback from new owners!
Most puppies are just caged and cared for. What I’m using to learn and develop a disciplined routine is this theory:
"Puppies understand, and will listen, from 3-4 weeks of age."
That means, from 3-4 weeks, until 8-10 weeks when they go home with you, pups are usually establishing feral and self centered habit patterns, which you then have to invest time and frustration (and slippers and whatever else) into breaking.
Four to Six Weeks of understanding, but with no structure and discipline! No wonder people fear the “Crazy Puppy” phase.
I’m learning (and experimenting and developing) methods and techniques and structures to engage EXTREMELY young pups in controlled and focused behavior… And it’s working!
I’m documenting it as I go on my new website, rainshadowlabradors.com
Take a look! It's new, and I’m adding to it all the time, as I’m applying and testing new challenges for these pups.
Imagine, 10 - six week old puppies, as I throw their gate open, coming up to the threshold….. and sitting down and looking up at master for directions.
Ok don’t imagine it… go look at the video!
Coming soon: TWENTY pups doing the same thing. (Seriously, I'm going to do it!)
And, because they haven't been allowed to raise themselves, they go to their new homes calm and ready to listen.
It’s working! I’m really excited about where this is going to go!

Milo and Bella's pedigrees probably have these numbers on them now, but I haven't ordered new ones...

Milo's data...
   
Medical Screens
DNA Number:   AKC DNA #V10031064
OFA Number:   OFA33E OFEL33
OFEL Number:   OFEL33


Bella's data...
   
Medical Screens
OFA Number:   OFA63G OFEL63
OFEL Number:   OFEL63

Leia and Lily will do OFA's later this Summer. Will probably do DNA on the 3 girls too, mostly just to support AKC, which seems to be languishing a little, and I think it's worthy of supporting.


I'll post more puppy pics too, I know I like looking at them!

If I didn't already have a one year old lab 

It'll be interesting to see how your experiment goes. I'm probably a few years away from our next puppy so by then you'll probably have them field ready by take home time! Great looking dogs.

Just by their recent response to me I can tell I'm needing to incorporate more expectations, they can handle a few more. (I'm repeating food, gate, and jumping manners... but they're getting to be reflex... I need a couple more.)

Just going on 7 weeks, and like any toddlers, they forget... but they remember immediately.

I get hovering over them, withholding their food, and reach out to reward (with affection) one who is sitting looking at me, and you can see most of them realizing, "Oh! Yeah! Supposed to sit down and be quiet!" It's actually hilarious to watch! They push in and plop their little bottoms down, looking up expectantly for a pet!

I'm varying their eating scenarios so it's not just a straight up pattern, and I'm about to move them ALL together, into a new run I just built. (Then I'll get the 20, seven week old puppies sitting quietly at the gate video! - - Hopefully!!!)

Several still available. Feel free to contact me to make a deposit.

[rainshadow1]

So, this happened today!

TWENTY puppies at the Gate….

These pups are primed and conditioned to SKIP the “crazy puppy phase!” No matter how you plan to train them, they’re already looking to human and LISTENING!


Taking deposits!

Just watched your vid on our 75" tv.  Wife and our 2 dogs were fascinated.  Good job and GLWS

Man you're making me want another puppy, I'm going to have to go Google puppy's misbehaving videos
