Getting your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our hands in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Once we decide on the pup from the litter, the first thing we want to accomplish is developing confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We start our relationship having fun while always teaching. Under our close guidance, we begin exposing the pup to its new world. Such as, 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 at the same time enhancing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet incredibly aware in those moments it is essential to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy learns about this new world without having the presence of its litter mates or mom.

The Essential time for learning
During the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limitation as to what we will incorporate into our strategies. Frequently we make use of certain areas or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Our options and vision are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds upon the last one. Through all of this, we closely supervise the puppy. We never restrict ourselves to stiff rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from occasions that manifest before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes 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 Sunny Isles Beach, 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 period than they can learn in a lifetime. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a substantial effect on their future personalities and decide a number of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting period, every experience is crucial. It is essential to build their confidence. The phrase ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are soaking up every experience like a sponge, we need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new puppy.

The goal is to have a stable foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a standard request in our regular routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your dog to. We go from shaping to formalizing commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We limit 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Sunny Isles Beach, FL
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the usual age when many dogs are re-homed or surrendered to rescues. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup developing into a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever envision. 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.

Working in the Real World in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. For example, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted possibly 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 it in various situations. We think of each situation as a picture. How 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 cope in each new and different environment or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t dependent on ongoing commands that dictate what he or she should and shouldn’t do. In fact, we desire a dog that can make great choices. Our top goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and improve manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the dog has been residing with the trainer in his/her personal home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights hanging out with another loved one or friend. Providing the puppy with this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new environments. This makes sure those habits and good manners will remain when he or she goes on to your house in Sunny Isles Beach, FL.
