The initial eight weeks of a new pups life are as significant as to what happens after. A good breeder recognizes this and helps get the puppy off to a great start.

We have developed a rapport with many fine breeders. We particularly find breeders who are aware of the early role they play in a puppies life. They understand when one of their puppies goes through our program, it ensures the puppy will end up having a wonderful life.  It’s very important to work carefully with the breeder. We rely on the breeder’s feedback together with our years of experience to pick out the puppy with the best temperament for the potential new family.

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

Training starts the instant a new puppy is in our care in Beverly Hills, California. Once we decide on the pup from the litter, the 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 start exposing the pup to its new world. For example, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over various things, and also get somewhat close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while strengthening our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still significantly aware in those moments it is imperative to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new pup discovers this new world without the company of its litter mates or mom.

Most important 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 may integrate into our methods. Typically we make use of certain locations or objects to create an experience for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Beverly Hills, California. Our options and imagination are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds on the previous one. Through all of this, we thoroughly supervise the puppy. We do not restrict ourselves to rigid rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new pup 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 their littermates and living with us in Beverly Hills, California. 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 substantial influence on their future personalities and decide a lot of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting period, every experience is important. 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 absorbing every experience like a sponge, we need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have fun with our new puppy.

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 necessary things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are paramount. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, in addition to being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Beverly Hills, CA 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 refine the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a stable foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a normal request in our everyday routine as well as within each new situation we expose your dog to. We go from shaping to formalizing commands and proofing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the core of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We limit 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Beverly Hills, CA
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 turning into a monster. That nice puppy can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever imagine. Many owners hope their puppy will grow out of unfavorable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing unwanted behavior more difficult.

Testing in the Real World in Beverly Hills, California 
We work to stop any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. Such as, we practice recalls when your dog is very distracted perhaps chasing something as common as 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 him or her in various scenarios. We imagine 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 cope in each new and different environment or scenario. We are raising a dog that isn’t dependent on ongoing commands that control what he or she should and should not do. In fact, we want a dog that can make good decisions. Our top priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to reinforce and fine-tune good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the puppy has been residing with the trainer in their individual home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights hanging out with another family member or close friend. Giving this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new surroundings. This ensures those habits and good manners will remain when he or she moves on to your house in Beverly Hills, CA.
