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

Training starts the minute a new puppy is in our hands in Coral Springs, Florida. Once we select the pup from the litter, the very first thing we would like 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 instance, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over logs, and even get somewhat near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while at the same time enhancing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet incredibly 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.

Most important time for learning
In the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limitation as to what we will integrate into our approaches. Often we take advantage of specific spots or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Coral Springs, Florida. Our choices and vision are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we carefully observe the puppy. We never limit ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from occasions that manifest before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes down to teaching the puppy.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We like to consider it as an early investment in the life of this dog. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and living with us in Coral Springs, Florida. 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 experience will have a massive effect on their future personalities and decide much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting stage, 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 pup.

A Well-Mannered Pup
4 to 6 months 

A trained puppy is far 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 critical. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Coral Springs, FL is equally important.

Our focus is to create a dog with impeccable manners and social skills. We start 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 everyday routine as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy 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 very clear and consistent is key. We limit our words when providing 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Coral Springs, FL
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 envision. Many owners hope their dog will outgrow unfavorable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more challenging.

Testing in the Real World in Coral Springs, Florida 
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction places. For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is very distracted maybe 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 dog 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. What does that look like to the dog? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to adapt in each new and various setting or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t dependent on continual commands that determine what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Instead, we desire a dog that can make good decisions. Our top goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and improve good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the dog has been residing with the trainer in his/her personal home. Throughout this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another family member or close friend. Giving this chance, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in different areas. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he/she moves in to your house in Coral Springs, FL.
