Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our hands in East Village, New York. Once we select the pup from the litter, the first thing we wish to achieve is developing 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 pup to its new world. For instance, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over various things, and also get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while boosting our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet significantly aware in those moments it is imperative to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new pup discovers this new world without the presence 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 limit as to what we will incorporate into our approaches. Typically we take advantage of particular places or objects to create an encounter for the puppy. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in East Village, New York. Our options and vision are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds on the prior one. Through all of this, we carefully observe the puppy. We do not restrict ourselves to inflexible rules.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We often consider it as an early investment in the life of this dog. This is the first time away from their littermates and living with us in East Village, 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 massive influence on their future personalities and decide a lot of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During 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 absorbing every experience like a sponge, we need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new pup.

The goal is to have a solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, making it a regular request in our regular routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We go from shaping to defining 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 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 right away.
