Your pointing breed puppy needs a lot of attention and socialization between the ages of 8 weeks and 16 weeks. Unfortunately, your puppy will not be fully immunized until it is 16 weeks old, and the dog park can be a haven for diseases and puppy-intolerant adult dogs. You also may have to work full-time outside of the home and do not have time to fully housebreak your puppy.
So, how do you get your puppy the exposure to new things and proper exercise they need for sound mental development? Send them to Baby Bird Dawgs, a boarding school for baby bird dogs!
We specialize in Vizslas and take other pointing breed puppies into the program, too! Your puppy will be treated as if it were one of our own while we start with house breaking skills. He will be allowed to safely run to his heart's content in our fully-fenced 25 acre dog exercise field. He will be free to explore the woods at his own pace, run in the clover, and who knows...he may even find a stray quail, pheasant or grouse in our woods!
We offer two programs, one for housebreaking and one for the introduction to hunting!
All puppies in for Baby Bird Dawg training will live in the house with us.
