Imprinting Good Behavior ~Birth to 16 Weeks
Getting your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the instant a new puppy is in our care in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas. Once we decide on the pup from the litter, the first thing we would like to accomplish is building 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 puppy to its new world. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over various things, and also get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while at the same time reinforcing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still significantly aware in those moments it is essential to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy discovers this new world without the company 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 restriction as to what we may incorporate into our methods. Typically we use specific places or objects to create an experience for the puppy. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas. Our choices and creativity are endless. Every exposure and experience builds on the previous one. Through all of this, we very closely observe the puppy. We do not confine ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes down to teaching the pup.

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 dog. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and living with us in Fair Oaks Ranch, 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 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 a number of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting period, every experience is critical. It is important to build their 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 dog.

A Well-Mannered Puppy
4 to 6 months 

A trained dog is a lot 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. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, as well as being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog with remarkable manners and social skills. We begin 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, making it a standard request in our everyday routine as well as within each new situation we expose your dog to. We move from shaping to formalizing commands and proofing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the core of our philosophy. Being 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 right away.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the usual age when many dogs are re-homed or given up to rescues. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup turning into a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever think of. Many owners hope their puppy will grow out of undesirable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more difficult.

Testing in the Real World in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas
We work to reduce any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction places. For example, we practice recalls when your dog is extremely distracted maybe chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic locations, 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 imagine each situation as a picture. What 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 adapt in each new and various environment or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t depending on continual commands that dictate what he or she should and shouldn’t do. In fact, we desire a dog that can make great decisions. Our number one goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to strengthen and refine good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the dog has been living with the dog trainer in his/her individual home. Throughout this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or friend. Offering this opportunity, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in new areas. This makes sure those habits and good manners will remain when he goes on to your house in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX.
