Our Training

What We Do For Your Puppy

Early Scent Introduction

When puppies are 3 days old, their eyes and ears are closed but their nose is ready to explore their world! We introduce new scent experiences to improve their adult scenting ability.

Early Neurologic stimulation

We do special handling of newborn puppies to help them be physically and emotionally stronger and prepared to deal with whatever life throws their way.

The Avidog® Puppy Evaluation Test (APET) looks at the puppy temperament, energy, personality, motivation, and helps with a training and development plan.

This was developed from a 20-year search for an evaluation tool to help match puppies to owners. Avidog created the APET test as a combination of  the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test, the philosophy of Sheila Booth’s Positive Puppy Preview to improve the usefulness of the testing.
