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 Noho, New York. Once we choose the pup from the litter, the first thing we want to accomplish 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 puppy to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over logs, and even get somewhat close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while building up our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still very aware in those moments it is essential to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new pup discovers 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 limit as to what we may incorporate into our methods. Typically we use certain areas or objects to create an encounter for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Noho, New York. Our options and vision are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds on the last one. Through all of this, we thoroughly monitor the puppy. We don’t restrict ourselves to stiff rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from occasions that manifest before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the puppy.

Every interaction with the new pup is a teaching moment. We like to think about it as an early investment in the life of this pup. This is the first time away from their littermates and staying with us in Noho, 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 any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a substantial influence on their future personalities and decide many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the course of the imprinting stage, every experience is vital. It is essential to build their self-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 need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have fun with our new puppy.

A Well-Mannered Friend
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 vital. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, along with having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Noho, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog with remarkable manners and social skills. We start by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which continues as we improve the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a regular request in our daily routine as well as 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 want when we give them the command. When we say ‘come’ or ‘here’ we expect 100% response right away.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Noho, NY
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 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 think of. Many owners hope their canine will outgrow undesirable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue rehearsing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more difficult.

Working in the Real World in Noho, 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 very distracted maybe chasing something like a squirrel. We test 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 situations. We think of each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the dog? How does that picture change 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 situation. We are raising a dog that isn’t reliant on ongoing commands that determine what he or she should and should not do. In fact, we prefer a dog that can make great decisions. Our main goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and fine-tune manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the dog has been living with the dog trainer in their individual home. Throughout this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights hanging out with another family member or friend. Offering this opportunity, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new surroundings. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he moves on to your home in Noho, NY.
