Our Program

Our labradors are raised within our home as members of our family, receiving daily interaction and play. 

Each dog is different, as such, each dog receives training suited to their innate skills and motivations. All of our dogs always begin training with crates. We firmly believe that all dogs should be crate trained for their safety and wellbeing. Our dogs view their crates as a safe space and often run to them in any situation that they are unhappy with, namely nail trim days.

When it comes to grooming, we do our best to ensure our dogs' nails are trimmed and filed weekly, teeth brushed monthly, and baths given during peak shedding season or when they find themselves a bit too muddy. We feel this extra care to hygiene not only keeps our dogs healthy but also helps in training to deal with situations they may not be comfortable with. 

Our dogs are regularly exposed to a variety of sounds; from regular household noises to sounds from farm animals and wildlife to loud road noise, like large commercial trucks as well as construction equipment. We hope these unavoidable noises provide us with well rounded puppies prepared to deal with anything life may throw at them.

We stay active within the Labrador community and maintain membership with The Labrador Retriever Club of Greater Boston. When time permits we attend local shows, with or without dogs in tow, to ensure we are in touch with what is happening within the breed. Most of our time usually is spent by the confirmation ring, but we’ve played a bit with agility, obedience, and rally in the past and if a dog shows an aptitude or drive towards one of the many dog sports we enjoy jumping out of our comfort zone to see them fulfilled.
