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 Borough Park, New York. Once we decide on the puppy from the litter, the very 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 puppy to its new world. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over logs, and maybe even get somewhat near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while enhancing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet extremely aware in those moments it is essential to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new pup discovers this new world without having the company of its litter mates or mom.

Most important time for learning
During the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limitation as to what we may incorporate into our strategies. Often we make use of certain spots or objects to create an experience for the pup. At times a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Borough Park, New York. Our choices and imagination are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we thoroughly monitor the puppy. We never restrict ourselves to stiff rules. We try to become more creative, think outside the box, and make use of events that manifest before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the puppy.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We like to consider it as an early investment in the life of this puppy. This is the first time away from their littermates and living with us in Borough Park, 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 encounter will have a huge influence on their future personalities and decide many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the course of the imprinting phase, every experience is vital. 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 soaking up every experience like a sponge, we need to 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 necessary things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are extremely important. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, as well as being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Borough Park, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to create 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 refine the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a stable foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a regular request in our regular routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your puppy 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.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Borough Park, NY
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the typical age when many dogs are re-homed or surrendered 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 imagine. Many owners hope their dog will outgrow 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 difficult.

Working in the Real World in Borough Park, New York
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted perhaps chasing something like a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic locations, 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 it in various situations. We consider each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are aiming to teach a dog how to adapt in every new and various setting or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t reliant 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 main priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, 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 dog has been staying with the trainer in their individual 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 environments. This makes sure those habits and good manners will stay when he/she moves in to your house in Borough Park, NY.
