All of our pups are raised indoors with us, they are never caged. When we bring our pups home from the vet they travel in our traveling incubator to ensure they don't catch a draft and this way we can ensure they are warm and safe. Babies and mom spend their first 3 weeks in my bedroom, with me, so that I can give them 24 hour care.
Once the babies turn 3 days old I follow the Bio Sensor Workout and use early neurological stimulation on them until they are 16 days old. This helps them to be calmer and cope with stress better. It also gives them a better advantage in life and gives you a great puppy with a great temperament.
Once they turn 3 weeks old they graduate to our puppy room.

Just born and heading home.
We have the best mamas! They love their babies and only leave them to eat and for potty breaks.
From week 3-4 until they go to their forever homes, the puppies will stay in our designated puppy room. Their mamas have full access to them so that they can spend as much time with them as they want. The pups learn how to use paper litter starting at week 4. We introduce different sounds and textures to help them learn how to adapt to life. All pups are socialized and "loved on" by my family and kids daily.

At week 7, the puppies are old enough that they are able to start going outside, weather permitting. They love being outside and exploring our backyard.
Our pups get tons of love and interaction from us humans. I give the pups daily one-on-one time away from the rest of the litter so that they learn to become independent and not dependent on their litter mates. When the pups are ready to go to their forever home they will adapt to their new home pretty fast due to all the stimulation and socializing we provide during the first 8 weeks.
We are very strict on keeping their space, inside and out, clean and sanitary so that they have a safe place to live and play, which is extremely important to us.
