I started following Wagging Tail Labradoodles a year ago, when we were thinking about bringing another dog into our family. We wanted our puppy to begin its life in a nurturing environment, more than anything else. Month after month, I watched as Lori celebrated each litter, each puppy, and of course their mom and dad dogs. It was amazing to see how the puppies exhibited their own unique personalities so early in their lives.
We were waiting on a puppy later this year, and then Lori unexpectedly had a puppy available before we had planned to bring one home. Within days, we brought Belle home to our 6 year old labradoodle, Lulu.
Though we have had puppies before, we were so pleased to realize just how much Lori did to set little Belle up for success from the moment she joined our family. She has been a confident, loving puppy, and she loves to explore the world around her.
I hadn’t ever heard of Puppy Culture, so I started researching the special things Lori did to help Belle and her litter mates develop early in their lives. It’s such a delight to be able to bring a puppy home who is so well adjusted and ready to adapt to her new life.
My veterinarian was impressed with Belle at her first visit. Due to Covid policies, we weren’t able to attend the visit, but we’ve known our vet and her gentle ways for years. She came out to my car and commented on the way Belle sat and looked at her during her visit. We agreed that Lori’s use of the Puppy Culture program showed in Belle’s relaxed nature in what was a very new environment for her. The value in that early training is priceless!
