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

Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our hands in Upper East Side, New York. Once we pick the puppy from the litter, the first thing we want to achieve is building confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We begin our relationship having fun while always teaching. Under our close guidance, we begin exposing the pup to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over various things, and also get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while strengthening our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet extremely aware in those moments it is imperative 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 first few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no restriction as to what we will incorporate into our strategies. Frequently we utilize certain spots or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Upper East Side, New York. Our choices and creativity are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds on the prior one. Through all of this, we thoroughly supervise the puppy. We never restrict ourselves to rigid rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of events that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes down to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new pup is a teaching moment. We often 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 Upper East Side, 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 they can learn in a lifetime. The quality and quantity of what they encounter will have a substantial influence on their future personalities and decide a number of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting stage, 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 dog.

A Well-Mannered Puppy
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 very important things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are paramount. Furthermore, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Upper East Side, NY  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 carries on as we refine the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a stable foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a standard 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 proofing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being very 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Upper East Side, 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 animal shelters. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup turning into a monster. That nice puppy can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever envision. Many owners hope their dog will outgrow unwanted 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.

Working in the Real World in Upper East Side, New York
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction places. 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 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 him or her in various situations. We think of each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the dog? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to adapt in each new and various environment or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t reliant on continuous commands that control what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Rather, we desire a dog that can make great choices. Our main priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and fine-tune manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the dog has been staying with the dog trainer in their individual home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another loved one or friend. Offering this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in different settings. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he goes on to your house in Upper East Side, NY.
