Puppy Culture & Avidog

Puppy Culture is a puppy-raising program for breeders, created by Jane Killion.    

​

Avidog offers a comprehensive program via their Litter A-Z course.  It starts before pregnancy and includes optimal nutrition and an 'Early Scent Introduction' program.

​

The first 12 weeks of a puppy's life is a critical developmental period that can dramatically shape who they will become as an adult. As breeders, we have a responsibility to take advantage of this period to make an impact on a puppy's personality more than anyone else ever will.
