Started
Puppies
* Sleeping through the night in their kennel
* Using a doggy door
* Vaccinations finished
* Sitting for attention
"Started Puppies" have started training on all of these points! If that sounds like a dream come true - keep reading!
(Keep scrolling to see available puppies!)
"Started Puppies" are puppies who range in age from 16 weeks to about a year old (and sometimes even a little over a year). They are consistently using a doggy door to go to the bathroom. They are sitting for attention instead of jumping up on you (and we will teach you how to continue that behavior when they go home with you!), they are finished with their Parvo vaccinations and have had their rabies vaccine - so they're ready to go to Doggy Day Care or the Dog Park from the day they go home. And they're sleeping through the night in their kennel!
With a foundation like that you'll be ready to hit the ground running with your new puppy! You will still have to help your puppy adjust to your schedule, working out your feeding times/potty times to avoid messes overnight, etc. But you will be working on building on a foundation instead of starting from scratch.
**Started puppies are not "left over" puppies. Here at Above Standard Poodles we understand that not everyone can sign up for puppy stage. That is exactly why we started offering "started" puppies!**
