How is this Course different to Puppy Culture?

What is Puppy Culture?

Puppy Culture is a program to teach breeders and puppy owners how to raise behaviorally sound puppies. We touch only lightly on husbandry and medical issues.

To learn more about the Puppy Culture Film, visit our sister site puppyculture.com

What is the difference between the Puppy Culture film and the Newborn to New Home course?

Newborn to New Home (NB2NH) is a course where you get a day by day, every day, for 72 days, view into exactly what to do with your puppies, including husbandry and medical issues.

There is some overlap of subject matter, but no repeated information. Everything in NB2NH will be new to you, even if you’ve seen Puppy Culture.

Insightful and useful

This course was very insightful and useful for my last litter. The format in the way you used video was wonderful. Looking forward to the next. Thank you!

Great course! Loved all the humor ♥️ 🤣.

A wealth of information

This course feels like I have a mentor as a new breeder. I feel much better prepared for our first litter. Thank you for the detailed product list as well. I will be listening to the podcast as well. The deep pressure therapy article and gut health articles were great for my children as well!

loved this course

The insights in this course are incredible. There has been a tremendous amount of amazing information and we can't wait to forward the education into our puppies and program!

What a Wonderful Course

I am so very thankful to have found puppy culture. I learned and learned and learned and I don't know what I would have done without this information! I will be referring to these videos many times in the future. Thank you so very much for this - I appreciate all the years of knowledge time and effort that you have put in that is being shared with us.
