Picking up your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the instant a new puppy is in our care in Northeast Dallas, Texas. Once we choose the pup from the litter, the very first thing we wish to achieve is building confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We start our relationship having fun while 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 puppy to the world while boosting our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet 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 having the presence of its litter mates or mom.

Crucial 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 may integrate into our strategies. Typically we take advantage of specific areas or objects to create an encounter for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Northeast Dallas, Texas. Our decisions and imagination are endless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we closely observe the puppy. We don’t confine ourselves to rigid rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the pup.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We often consider it as an early investment in the life of this puppy. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and living with us in Northeast Dallas, 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 encounter will have a substantial effect on their future personalities and decide much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting phase, every experience is vital. It is essential to build their confidence. The expression ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are absorbing every experience like a sponge, we must stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new pup.

A Well-Mannered Friend
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained pup is a lot more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are very important things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are important. Furthermore, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Northeast Dallas, TX  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a puppy with remarkable manners and social skills. We begin 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 solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a normal request in our daily routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We go from shaping to defining commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the core of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We limit 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.

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 developing into a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever imagine. Many owners hope their dog will outgrow unwanted behaviors. Their dog is testing what is allowed and what is not.

Testing in the Real World in Northeast Dallas, Texas

For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is very distracted perhaps chasing something like a squirrel. We practice and proof obedience in high traffic locations, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various scenarios. We think of 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 each new and various setting or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t reliant on ongoing commands that dictate what he or she should and shouldn’t do. In fact, we prefer a dog that can make great choices. Our number one goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and improve good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the puppy has been living with the dog trainer in his or her own home. Throughout this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights hanging out with another loved one or close friend. Providing them with this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in different environments. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he moves in to your home in Northeast Dallas, TX.
