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

Training starts the minute a new puppy is in our hands in Cammack Village, Arkansas. Once we pick the puppy 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 while always teaching. Under our close guidance, we start exposing the pup to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over various things, and even get somewhat close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while reinforcing 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 puppy learns about this new world without the companionship 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 limit as to what we may integrate into our strategies. Frequently we use specific spots or objects to create an encounter for the pup. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Cammack Village, Arkansas. Our choices and creativity are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds on the last one. Through all of this, we closely monitor the puppy. We don’t confine ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and take advantage of activities that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes down 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 their littermates and staying with us in Cammack Village, Arkansas. 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 significant impact on their future personalities and determine many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the imprinting stage, every experience is crucial. It is important to build their self-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 dog.

A Well-Mannered Dog
4 to 6 months 

A trained pup is much more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are 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 Cammack Village, AR  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise 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 strong foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a normal request in our daily routine as well as 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 clear and consistent is key. We restrict 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 Cammack Village, AR
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 animal 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 envision. Many owners hope their canine will outgrow unwanted behaviors. Their dog is testing what is allowed and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more difficult.

Testing in the Real World in Cammack Village, Arkansas
We work to reduce any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. Such as, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted maybe chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic locations, 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 scenarios. We think of each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to adapt in every new and different environment or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t dependent on continual commands that dictate what he or she should and should not do. Instead, we desire a dog that can make good decisions. Our top goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and fine-tune 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 hanging out with another family member or close friend. Providing the puppy with this chance, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new settings. This makes sure those habits and good manners will remain when he or she moves in to your home in Cammack Village, AR.
