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 Frisco, Texas. Once we decide on the puppy from the litter, the first thing we want to accomplish is building confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We begin our relationship having fun while always teaching. Under our close guidance, we start exposing the pup to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over branches, and also get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while at the same time strengthening our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet extremely 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 having the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

The Essential time for learning
In the first 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 make use of particular areas or objects to create an experience for the puppy. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Frisco, Texas. Our choices and creativity are endless. Every exposure and experience builds on the prior one. Through all of this, we thoroughly supervise the puppy. We do not limit ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from events that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the puppy.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We like to consider it as an early investment in the life of this dog. This is the first time away from their littermates and living with us in Frisco, 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 time than they can learn in a lifetime. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a huge influence on their future personalities and decide much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting stage, every experience is important. It is important to build their self-confidence. The phrase ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are soaking up every experience like a sponge, we need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have fun with our new pup.

A Well-Mannered Dog
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained dog is so 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 important. In addition, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Frisco, 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 strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a normal request in our everyday routine as well as within each new situation we expose your dog 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 giving 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Frisco, 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 shelters. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup becoming a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever envision. Many owners hope their canine will outgrow unwanted 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.

Testing in the Real World in Frisco, Texas
We work to reduce any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. For instance, 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 places, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the puppy moves 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. 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 every new and various setting or scenario. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on continuous commands that determine what he or she should and should not do. In fact, we want a dog that can make great decisions. Our number one goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to reinforce 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 or her own home. During this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another loved one or close friend. Providing the dog with this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in different environments. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he/she goes on to your home in Frisco, TX.
