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

Training starts the minute a new puppy is in our care in Chelsea, New York. Once we choose the pup from the litter, the first thing we wish 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 start exposing the pup to its new world. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over various things, and even get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while building up our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still incredibly aware in those moments it is imperative to concentrate 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
In the initial 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 specific spots or objects to create an experience for the puppy. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Chelsea, New York. Our decisions and vision are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the previous one. Through all of this, we closely observe the puppy. We never restrict ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of events that manifest before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes to teaching the pup.

Every interaction with the new pup 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 staying with us in Chelsea, 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 effect on their future personalities and determine a lot of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting phase, every experience is critical. It is essential to build their confidence. The phrase ‘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 a good time with our new puppy.

A Well-Mannered Pal
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained dog is far 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. In addition, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, as well as having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Chelsea, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a dog with remarkable manners and social skills. We begin 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 strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a standard request in our everyday routine as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We move 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 mean 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 Chelsea, NY
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the usual age when many dogs are re-homed or given up to 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 picture. Many owners hope their canine 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 challenging.

Working in the Real World in Chelsea, New York
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 spots, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her in various situations. We consider each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the dog? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are working to teach a dog how to adapt in each new and different environment or scenario. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on constant commands that dictate what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Instead, we want a dog that can make great choices. Our top priority is to have a well-balanced dog, who will fit into your home.

We continue to reinforce and fine-tune good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the puppy has been staying with the dog trainer in his or her own home. During this time, your dog will also spend a few days and nights staying with another family member or close friend. Offering this chance, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in new surroundings. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he or she moves in to your house in Chelsea, NY.
