Raised with Puppy Culture and Avidog Protocols:

We are the first, and currently only US, Alaskan Klee Kai breeder to be listed on the Puppy Culture breeder map. We are also the first Alaskan Klee Kai Breeder Affiliates of the Avidog program. Puppy Culture is a program designed by Jane Killion that details how to raise a well-balanced puppy through his or her first twelve weeks of life. Research shows that breeders have a huge opportunity to improve outcomes for dogs and their people by doing just the right thing, at just the right time, during those first critical twelve weeks. Puppy Culture details everything needed, from early neurological stimulation, to emotional resilience exercises, to leash walking, potty training, crate training, and the prevention of common problems.

Avidog is a program developed by Gayle Watkins and details the best nutrition that can be given to the Dam while she’s in season, as well as throughout her pregnancy. She provides thorough guidance on the right supplements and ratios that are required for the healthy growth of puppies. Avidog uses science to bolster their program of developmental opportunities for puppies so that they can be everything that their genetics will allow them to be. In addition, she also provides important information regarding early scent introduction, ENS, as well as enrichment methods to help puppies reach the peak of their mental and physical capabilities as adults.

Both of these programs promote the concept that if you provide the right enrichment environment for the puppy, he or she will be more emotionally stable, be resilient to changing and stressful environments, and have a better ability to train and learn throughout his or her daily life. While this is only the beginning, we believe that this will give your Thurisia puppy the best start possible.​
