Robin called FIVE minutes later
Where to begin?! Very long story short we had a puppy from someone fall through, after some google searching, found Fawn River. I left my info on their website, thinking I’d hear from them a few days later, low and behold Robin called him FIVE minutes later it took me a few moments to gather my thoughts as I was not expecting to hear back so quickly… Koa (Benji) was going to be ours just a few days later!
Koa is an amazing boy, who loves to cuddle, play and just be around you. He’s very social, loves meeting anybody and everybody and wants to play with every dog he meets! He’s a beautiful, healthy boy and we couldn’t ask for a better addition to our family!

We cannot say enough great things
We cannot say enough great things about Fawn River! Our puppy from there came healthy and happy. He is the most well behaved and loving dog, and was up to date on all his medicals when we received him.
Robin was also so great to work with, being really responsive, flexible on meeting time with us to come pick up our pup, and answering all our questions.
Even after we took Walter home, Robin continues to check in and answer any questions we have as they come up. I can’t recommend Fawn River enough!

Loves training sessions and is very responsive
Our handsome Berne is intelligent, curious and very eager to please! He loves training sessions and is very responsive. Robin’s description of parental traits is spot on so far in our pup.
Additionally Robin was patient and considerate in answering the many questions and concerns we cast upon him. I highly recommend Fawn River Doodles and will not hesitate on choosing them again if we decide to get another dog.

How do I help my puppy adjust to its new home?
The first few days of bringing a new puppy home can be overwhelming. These are some tips for you so you can have a smooth transition.
Choose a potty spot
You should start by taking your puppy to an outside spot where you want him to go potty. Be sure to use a command like “go potty” so the puppy can learn.
Introduce your home one room at a time
Introduce your house to your puppy one room at a time. This will prevent a sensory overload and allows the puppy to get used to its new surroundings slowly.
Introduce family members individually
Try to let your puppy meet each family member individually.
Introduce its sleeping space
Show your puppy their sleeping space, which could either be a crate or a dog bed.
Give chew toys
Puppies like to chew so be sure to provide safe puppy chew toys.
Keep a close eye on your new family member
It’s important for your puppy to stay supervised within the early days.
Start training immediately
It’s critical that your puppy learns rules from the beginning. This is because the more structured and consistent its day is, the better adjusted it will be. Don’t yell or punish the puppy as this will only frighten and confuse it.
Take things slow
Under your supervision, gradually expand the puppy’s environment. With lots of affection, consistent rules and routine, rewards for good behavior, and gentle corrections, your puppy will adjust in no time.
How do FaceTime calls work?
Robin is ready and looking forward to talking to you. It’s best if you text first to confirm it’s a good time for a video call.
