OUR PROCESS
THE FAMILY MINI DOODLE DIFFERENCE
At Family Mini Doodles, we believe that every puppy should be treated like part of the family from the moment they’re born. The first few weeks of a puppy’s life are crucial, which is why we focus on early socialization and development.
Starting at just three days old, we introduce Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)—a method originally developed by the U.S. military to enhance the performance of working dogs. ENS has been proven to improve a puppy’s adaptability, confidence, and overall well-being.
Our puppies are raised in a loving home environment where they experience daily handling, exposure to different sounds, and plenty of interactions with people, children, and other dogs. By the time they’re ready for their new homes, they are well-socialized, confident, and eager to be part of a loving family.
At Family Mini Doodles, we don’t just raise puppies—we raise lifelong companions that will bring love, joy, and comfort to their new families.
