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 Brooklyn, New York. Once we select the pup from the litter, the first thing we wish 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. For example, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over branches, and maybe even get relatively near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while enhancing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet remarkably aware in those moments it is imperative to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new pup discovers this new world without 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. Typically we utilize specific locations or objects to create an experience for the pup. At times a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Brooklyn, New York. Our decisions and creativity are endless. Every exposure and experience builds on the prior one. Through all of this, we closely supervise the puppy. We don’t limit ourselves to rigid rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and make use of occasions that unfold 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 their littermates and staying with us in Brooklyn, New York. 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 any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they encounter will have a substantial influence on their future personalities and decide many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting period, every experience is critical. 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 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 Dog
4 to 6 months 

A trained puppy is 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 extremely important. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Brooklyn, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a puppy with remarkable manners and social skills. We start by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which carries on as we fine-tune the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a normal request in our regular routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We go 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 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 Brooklyn, NY
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the normal 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 pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever think of. Many owners hope their dog will outgrow unwanted behaviors. Their dog is testing what is allowed and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more challenging.

Working in the Real World in Brooklyn, New York
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted possibly chasing something like a squirrel. We practice and proof obedience in high traffic spots, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the puppy goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various scenarios. We think of each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are aiming to teach a dog how to cope in each new and different setting or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t depending on continual commands that dictate what he or she should and should not do. Instead, we want a dog that can make great decisions. Our number one priority is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into your home.

We continue to reinforce and improve good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the dog has been residing with the trainer in his or her individual home. Throughout this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or friend. Offering this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in new settings. This ensures those habits and good manners will remain when he moves on to your home in Brooklyn, NY.
