This environment allows our puppies to learn to use a doggy door at a very young age to go outside for potty breaks. Most dogs, even young puppies, have a natural instinct to keep their personal space clean. By giving them the option to go outside, we work with this instinct.
At 5 weeks old: We prop open their doggy door to encourage them to explore the outside world for their bathroom needs.
By 6 weeks old: They are typically doing all their “business” outside!
This process not only makes cleanup much easier for our crew, but it also gives you a huge head start on potty training when you bring your new puppy home.
Our furry companions bring us daily joy, unconditional love, and countless cherished memories. At Stony Meadows, we understand that our pets are more than just animals; they’re family. That’s why we always seek ways to give back to them and ensure their quality of life matches the happiness they bring to ours. One of the most thoughtful ways to show your love? A spa day!
