✨ Welcome to Lake Mountain Doodle, where excellence is not just a promise, but a practice! 🌟 Our journey towards crafting exceptional puppies begins with a meticulous breeding process focused on the healthiest and genetically superior dogs. We prioritize health testing, ensuring our breeding pairs boast cleared genetic testing and health certificates, setting the foundation for outstanding pups. 💖🐾 But that's just the beginning of our advanced and comprehensive training program. From day three, we initiate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), a touch-based protocol developed by the US military for their "Super Pup" initiative. We also start (ESI) Early Scent Introduction which has been shown to shorten the time of training therapy puppies or service dogs who focus on scent as part of their job, ie. diabetic alert dogs or cadaver dogs. While some breeders may stop here, we see it as just the starting point. Our commitment extends to sound desensitization, building resilience to everyday sounds and developing positive emotional responses. A 12-point touch desensitization ensures they form positive associations with human touch. As they begin toddling, we seamlessly integrate potty training, expanding their world beyond the whelping box. Simultaneously, we nurture their curiosity, introducing clicker training for positive behaviors and gradually exposing them to various stimuli. These small sessions boost confidence and allow us to address any negative emotional responses, ensuring each pup gains positive self-assurance. Our holistic approach doesn't stop there. We cover critical activities like birthing, round-the-clock puppy care, regular deworming, first shots, dew-claw removal, meticulous cleaning, grooming desensitization, nail trimmings, weaning, kennel training, sleeping through the night, recall training, maternal care, and more. At Lake Mountain Doodle, we're not just breeders; we're architects of exceptional canine companions. Join us in creating a new standard of excellence in the world of doodle breeding.

Heather has a passion for breeding the best family pets in the world. Her care, training and knowledge of genetics sets her puppies apart from other breeders making them a rare treasure. Over the years, as she has studied more and more about breeding and raising puppies, she has become known for her love of training and helps train other breeders to build their own practices of ethical breeding and a sought after mentor.
