Imprinting Good Behavior ~Birth to 16 Weeks
Picking up your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the instant a new puppy is in our hands in Chandler, Arizona. Once we select the puppy from the litter, the very first thing we want to achieve is building confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We start our relationship having fun while always teaching. Under our close guidance, we start exposing the pup to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over various things, and maybe even get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while at the same time building up our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still remarkably aware in those moments it is essential to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new pup discovers this new world without having the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

Most important time for learning
In the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limitation as to what we will integrate into our techniques. Frequently we take advantage of specific places or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Chandler, Arizona. Our decisions and vision are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds on the prior one. Through all of this, we very closely monitor the puppy. We do not restrict ourselves to stiff rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of events that unfold before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes down to teaching the pup.

Every interaction with the new pup is a teaching moment. We often think of it as an early investment in the life of this puppy. This is the first time away from their littermates and staying with us in Chandler, Arizona. Puppies have a small window of time during brain development when they are most impressionable. This is called the imprinting also known as the critical learning period. Puppies learn more during this period than they can learn in a lifetime. The quality and quantity of what they encounter will have a significant impact on their future personalities and determine much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the course of the imprinting period, every experience is crucial. It is essential to build their self-confidence. The phrase ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are taking in every experience like a sponge, we must stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new puppy.

A Well-Mannered Pup
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained puppy is so much more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are necessary things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are critical. In addition, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, along with being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Chandler, AZ  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a puppy with remarkable manners and social skills. We start by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which continues as we refine the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a standard request in our regular routine as well as within each new situation we expose your dog to. We move from shaping to formalizing commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We limit our words when providing commands. We want your dog to understand what we want when we give them the command. When we say ‘come’ or ‘here’ we expect 100% response immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Chandler, AZ
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the usual age when many dogs are re-homed or given up to rescues. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup developing into a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever think of. Many owners hope their dog will grow out of unfavorable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is allowed and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more difficult.

Working in the Real World in Chandler, Arizona
We work to stop any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction places. For example, we practice recalls when your dog is very distracted maybe chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic areas, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her in various situations. We think of each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are working to teach a dog how to cope in each new and various environment or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t reliant on continual commands that dictate what he or she should and should not do. Rather, we want a dog that can make good choices. Our main priority is to have a well-balanced dog, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and fine-tune manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the dog has been staying with the trainer in their personal home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or close friend. Providing them with this chance, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new areas. This makes sure those habits and good manners will remain when he/she moves on to your home in Chandler, AZ.
