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

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

The Essential time for learning
During the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limit as to what we may incorporate into our techniques. Often we take advantage of certain locations or objects to create an experience for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Gilbert, Arizona. Our decisions and imagination are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds on the previous one. Through all of this, we thoroughly monitor the puppy. We do not confine ourselves to stiff rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from events that manifest before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes down to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We like to consider it as an early investment in the life of this pup. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and living with us in Gilbert, 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 time than they can learn in a lifetime. The quality and quantity of what they encounter will have a huge influence on their future personalities and determine many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting stage, every experience is critical. It is important to build their confidence. The expression ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are taking in every experience like a sponge, we need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new pup.

A Well-Mannered Dog
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained puppy is much more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are very important things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are very important. Furthermore, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, as well as having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Gilbert, AZ  is equally important.

Our focus is to create 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 fine-tune the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a normal request in our day-to-day routine as well as within each new situation we expose your dog to. We move from shaping to defining commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We restrict our words when giving commands. We want your dog to understand what we mean when we give them the command. When we say ‘come’ or ‘here’ we expect 100% response right away.

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

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

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

As the puppy goes 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 dog? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are aiming to teach a dog how to adapt in each new and different environment or scenario. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on continuous commands that dictate what he or she should and should not do. Instead, we prefer a dog that can make great choices. Our top priority is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and fine-tune manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the dog has been residing with the trainer in his/her own home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights hanging out with another loved one or friend. Providing the puppy with this opportunity, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in new areas. This ensures those habits and good manners will remain when he or she moves in to your home in Gilbert, AZ.
