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

Training starts the instant a new puppy is in our hands in White Hall, Arkansas. Once we pick the pup from the litter, the very 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 puppy to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over various things, and also get somewhat close 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, yet incredibly aware in those moments it is essential to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new pup learns about this new world without the company 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 limit as to what we may integrate into our methods. Often we use particular spots or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. At times a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in White Hall, Arkansas. Our choices and creativity are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds on the previous one. Through all of this, we very closely observe the puppy. We never limit ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from activities that manifest before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We often think about 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 White Hall, 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 time than any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a massive impact on their future personalities and determine much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting period, every experience is vital. It is important to build their confidence. The phrase ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are soaking up 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 Puppy
4 to 6 months 

A 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. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are very important. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in White Hall, AR  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog with impeccable manners and social skills. We begin by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which carries on as we improve the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a standard request in our daily routine as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We move from shaping to defining commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being very 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in White Hall, AR
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 imagine. Many owners hope their canine will grow out of undesirable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue rehearsing naughty acts makes changing undesirable behavior more challenging.

Testing in the Real World in White Hall, Arkansas
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. For example, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted perhaps chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic places, around barking dogs, around playgrounds and within public places.

As the puppy moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various situations. We consider each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the dog? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are aiming to teach a dog how to cope in each new and various setting or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t depending on ongoing commands that control what he or she should and should not do. Instead, we want a dog that can make great decisions. Our number one priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will be comfortable your home.

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