Training starts the minute a new puppy is in our hands in Nomad, New York. Once we pick the pup from the litter, the first thing we would like to accomplish is developing confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We begin our relationship having fun even though we’re always teaching. Under our close guidance, we start exposing the pup to its new world. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over logs, and even get somewhat near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while at the same time building up our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still remarkably aware in those moments it is essential to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy learns about this new world without having the presence of its litter mates or mom.

Most important 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 methods. Often we take advantage of particular areas or objects to create an encounter for the pup. At times a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Nomad, New York. Our choices and creativity are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds on the previous one. Through all of this, we thoroughly monitor the puppy. We don’t confine ourselves to stiff rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of activities that manifest before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We like to think about it as an early investment in the life of this pup. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and living with us in Nomad, 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 time than any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a substantial impact on their future personalities and determine much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting phase, every experience is important. 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 pup.

A Well-Mannered Puppy

A well-trained pup is so much more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are necessary things to learn.

In addition, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, as well as being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Nomad, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a puppy with remarkable 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, making it a standard request in our everyday routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your dog to. We move from shaping to formalizing commands and testing 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 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 right away.
