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 Roe, Arkansas. Once we choose the puppy from the litter, the very first thing we wish to achieve 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 various things, and even get somewhat near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy 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 learns about this new world without having the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

The Essential time for learning
In the first few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limitation as to what we will incorporate into our approaches. Typically we use particular areas or objects to create an experience for the puppy. In some cases a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Roe, Arkansas. Our options and imagination are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we carefully supervise the puppy. We never limit ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of occasions that manifest 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 like to think of it as an early investment in the life of this dog. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and staying with us in Roe, Arkansas. 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 period, every experience is important. It is important to build their self-confidence. The expression ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are soaking up every experience like a sponge, we must stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have fun with our new pup.

A Well-Mannered Friend
4 to 6 months 

A trained dog is much more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are important things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are critical. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Roe, AR  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog with impeccable 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 solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a standard request in our everyday routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your dog to. We go from shaping to defining commands and proofing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the core 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 Roe, AR
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the normal age when many dogs are re-homed or surrendered 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 think of. Many owners hope their canine will grow out of undesirable 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 Roe, Arkansas
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. Such as, we practice recalls when your dog is very distracted perhaps chasing something like a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic places, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her in various situations. We consider each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are aiming to teach a dog how to adapt in every new and various setting or situation. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on constant commands that control what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Rather, we want a dog that can make good choices. Our main goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into 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 residing with the dog trainer in his/her personal home. During this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another family member or close friend. Giving this opportunity, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new areas. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he moves on to your home in Roe, AR.
