Picking up your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the minute a new puppy is in our hands in New York, New York. Once we decide on the puppy 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. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over various things, and maybe even get somewhat close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while at the same time boosting our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still incredibly 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 companionship 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 will integrate into our strategies. Frequently we utilize certain spots or objects to create an experience for the pup. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in New York, New York. Our decisions and vision are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the last one. Through all of this, we closely monitor the puppy. We never restrict ourselves to rigid rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of activities that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes down to teaching the puppy.

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 New York, 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 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 determine a number of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting phase, every experience is crucial. It is important to build their confidence. The phrase ‘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 pup.

A Well-Mannered Puppy
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained dog is a lot 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 critical. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, along with having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in New York, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise 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 refine the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a standard request in our day-to-day routine as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We move from shaping to defining commands and testing 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 New York, NY
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the normal 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 puppy can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever envision. Many owners hope their dog will grow out of undesirable 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 New York, New York
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is extremely distracted possibly chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic places, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various scenarios. We consider each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are working to teach a dog how to cope in every new and various environment or situation. We are raising a dog that isn’t reliant on constant commands that determine what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Rather, we want a dog that can make good decisions. Our top goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and improve manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the puppy has been living with the dog trainer in his/her own home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another family member or friend. Providing the dog with this chance, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in different areas. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he/she goes on to your home in New York, NY.
