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

Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our care in Central Park, New York. Once we decide on the pup from the litter, the 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. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over various things, 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 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 puppy discovers this new world without having the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

The Essential time for learning
During the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no restriction as to what we may incorporate into our strategies. Often we use certain places or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. In some cases a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Central Park, New York. Our options and creativity are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds on the last one. Through all of this, we very closely observe the puppy. We don’t restrict ourselves to rigid rules. We try to get 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 think of it as an early investment in the life of this dog. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and staying with us in Central 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 period than any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they encounter will have a substantial impact on their future personalities and determine many of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the course of the imprinting period, every experience is vital. 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 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 well-trained pup is a lot 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. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to being comfortable to fit into a lifestyle in Central Park, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to raise a dog 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 stable 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 dog to. We move from shaping to formalizing commands and testing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the center of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We limit 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 Central Park, NY
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the normal age when many dogs are re-homed or surrendered to animal shelters. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup turning into a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever imagine. Many owners hope their dog will outgrow unwanted behaviors. Their dog is testing what is allowed and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue rehearsing naughty acts makes changing unwanted behavior more challenging.

Working in the Real World in Central 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 extremely distracted possibly chasing something like a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic spots, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the puppy goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various situations. We imagine each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the dog? How does that picture differ from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to cope in each new and various setting or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t dependent on ongoing commands that dictate what he or she should and should not do. Rather, we desire a dog that can make great choices. Our top priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will be comfortable your home.

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