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 Wiederkehr Village, Arkansas. Once we choose the pup from the litter, the very first thing we wish 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 begin exposing the pup to its new world. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over branches, and even get somewhat near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while enhancing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet remarkably aware in those moments it is essential to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy discovers 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 restriction as to what we will integrate into our methods. Typically we use particular locations or objects to create an encounter for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Wiederkehr Village, Arkansas. Our choices and vision are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we very closely observe the puppy. We do not limit ourselves to stiff rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of activities that unfold before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes down to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new pup is a teaching moment. We often think of 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 Wiederkehr Village, 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 significant effect on their future personalities and decide a number of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the course of the imprinting stage, every experience is crucial. It is essential to build their self-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 must stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have fun with our new dog.

A Well-Mannered Puppy
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 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 many different distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Wiederkehr Village, AR  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a dog with impeccable manners and social skills. We begin by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which carries on as we improve the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a regular request in our daily routine as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We move from shaping to defining commands and proofing 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 want 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 Wiederkehr Village, AR
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the typical age when many dogs are re-homed or surrendered 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 picture. Many owners hope their dog 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 unwanted behavior more challenging.

Working in the Real World in Wiederkehr Village, Arkansas
We work to reduce any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. For instance, 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, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various scenarios. We imagine each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture change from day to day or location to location. We are working to teach a dog how to adapt in each new and various setting or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t depending on continuous commands that dictate what he or she should and should not do. Rather, we desire a dog that can make great decisions. Our number one priority is to have a well-balanced dog, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and refine good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the puppy has been staying with the dog trainer in his/her own home. Throughout this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another loved one or close friend. Providing the dog with this opportunity, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in new settings. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he or she moves on to your home in Wiederkehr Village, AR.
