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

Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our care in Hudson Yards, New York. Once we select the puppy from the litter, the very first thing we want 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 begin exposing the puppy to its new world. For example, 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 puppy to the world while at the same time enhancing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet extremely aware in those moments it is imperative to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy learns about this new world without the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

Crucial time for learning
During 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 methods. Typically we use specific places or objects to create an experience for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Hudson Yards, New York. Our decisions and vision are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the last one. Through all of this, we very closely monitor the puppy. We never confine ourselves to rigid rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new pup 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 their littermates and staying with us in Hudson Yards, 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 any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a massive influence on their future personalities and decide many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting stage, every experience is vital. It is essential 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 puppy.

A Well-Mannered Pup
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained puppy is far 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 vital. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, along with being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Hudson Yards, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog 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 fine-tune the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a stable foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a normal request in our everyday 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 core 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 right away.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Hudson Yards, NY
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 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 unfavorable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing unwanted behavior more difficult.

Working in the Real World in Hudson Yards, New York
We work to stop any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. For example, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted possibly chasing something as common as a squirrel. We practice and proof obedience in high traffic spots, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her 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 striving to teach a dog how to cope in each new and different setting or situation. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on constant commands that determine what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Rather, we want a dog that can make great choices. Our number one goal is to have a well-balanced dog, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and refine manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During 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 loved one or friend. Offering this opportunity, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new areas. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he/she moves on to your home in Hudson Yards, NY.
