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 Prosper, Texas. Once we select the puppy from the litter, the very 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. For example, 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 boosting our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still significantly aware in those moments it is essential to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new pup learns about this new world without the presence of its litter mates or mom.

Most important time for learning
During the first few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no restriction as to what we will integrate into our techniques. Often we make use of particular spots or objects to create an encounter for the pup. At times a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Prosper, Texas. Our options and creativity are endless. Every exposure and experience builds on the last one. Through all of this, we thoroughly supervise the puppy. We never confine ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We like to think of 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 Prosper, Texas. 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 encounter will have a huge effect on their future personalities and decide many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting period, every experience is crucial. It is important to build their self-confidence. The expression ‘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 Friend
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained puppy is so much more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are important things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are critical. Furthermore, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, along with being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Prosper, TX  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a puppy with impeccable manners and social skills. We start by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which continues 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 standard request in our regular 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 center of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We restrict 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 Prosper, TX
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the usual age when many dogs are re-homed or surrendered 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 imagine. Many owners hope their puppy 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.

Testing in the Real World in Prosper, Texas
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. Such as, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted possibly chasing something like a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic areas, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the puppy goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her in various situations. We imagine each situation as a picture. What 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 every new and various environment or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t depending on continual commands that dictate what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Instead, we desire a dog that can make good decisions. Our number one goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to strengthen and fine-tune manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the dog has been living with the trainer in their own home. Throughout this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or friend. Offering this chance, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in new surroundings. This makes sure those habits and good manners will remain when he moves on to your home in Prosper, TX.
