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

Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our hands in Peoria, Arizona. Once we decide on the pup from the litter, the first thing we wish to accomplish is building 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 begin exposing the puppy to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over logs, and even get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while building up 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 pup discovers this new world without having the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

The Essential time for learning
In the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limit as to what we may integrate into our techniques. Frequently we use specific places or objects to create an experience for the puppy. In some cases a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Peoria, Arizona. Our decisions and vision are endless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we carefully supervise the puppy. We do not confine ourselves to stiff rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of occasions that manifest before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We often think about it as an early investment in the life of this pup. This is the first time away from their littermates and staying with us in Peoria, 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 massive impact on their future personalities and determine many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting phase, 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 absorbing every experience like a sponge, we need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new dog.

A Well-Mannered Puppy
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained dog is a lot 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 paramount. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, in addition to being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Peoria, AZ  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog with impeccable manners and social skills. We begin 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 regular request in our day-to-day routine as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We go from shaping to defining commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being very 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 Peoria, 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 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 imagine. 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 unwanted behavior more challenging.

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

As the puppy moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various situations. We think of each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are aiming to teach a dog how to adapt in every new and various environment or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t depending on continuous commands that control what he or she should and shouldn’t do. In fact, we prefer a dog that can make great choices. Our number one priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and improve good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the dog has been living with the trainer in his or her own home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or friend. Providing the dog with this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in new areas. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he moves on to your home in Peoria, AZ.
