Avidog, helping dog owners and breeders raise great dogs.
Avidog combined science, art and over 40 years of dog breeding experience to create, develop and present puppy rearing courses, programs and equipment for puppy owners and dog breeders. Their goal is to help people raise healthy, stable, and fit dogs.
* Avidog was sold to Good Dog Breeders. We still are in possession of all of our Avidog materials that have helped to guide the raising of our puppies. We are thankful to all Dr. Gayle Watkins has done over the years to help breeders with their breeding and puppy program.*
Since joining Avidog years ago, we have added new standards and protocols to our breeding program, enhancing how we raise puppies. While Avidog was sold, we still follow what we learned when raising puppies.
Avidog’s Puppy Evaluation Test is our current standard for temperament testing pups.
We recognize there is no perfect puppy. Instead, through observation of puppies over 8+ weeks and through APET testing, we are able to match puppies to their new homes.
The Puppy Potty Training Solution is a complete house-training and crate-training program for dogs of any age but with emphasis on puppies. House training is best served while crate training your puppy, an important tool in raising a stable puppy.
We use and follow PPTS here with our own puppies.
We do everything we can to raise stable and confident puppies in their first 8 weeks of life. After that, it's up to puppy owners to take the reins. While we can provide some basic support, we aren't long distance puppy trainers. We strongly encourage puppy owners to get involved with a local training program for puppy and advanced dog classes.
