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 Lower East Side, New York. Once we pick the pup from the litter, the very first thing we would like to accomplish is developing confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We start our relationship having fun even though we’re always teaching. Under our close guidance, we start exposing the puppy to its new world. Such as, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over various things, and even get relatively close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while strengthening our bond. We are huge dog lovers, yet very aware in those moments it is essential to concentrate more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy 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. Typically we make use of certain areas or objects to create an encounter for the pup. In some cases a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Lower East Side, New York. Our decisions and vision are endless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the previous one. Through all of this, we closely monitor the puppy. We do not restrict ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and make use of occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes to teaching the dog.

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 his or her littermates and staying with us in Lower East Side, 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 they can learn in a lifetime. 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 stage, 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 taking in 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 Friend
4 to 6 months 

A trained puppy 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 extremely important. In addition, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Lower East Side, NY  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a dog with remarkable manners and social skills. We start 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 as well as within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We go from shaping to formalizing commands and proofing 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 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.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Lower East Side, NY
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the normal age when many dogs are re-homed or given up to rescues. 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 envision. Many owners hope their puppy will grow out of unwanted behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue practicing naughty acts makes changing unwanted behavior more difficult.

Working in the Real World in Lower East Side, New York
We work to reduce any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction places. Such as, we practice recalls when your dog is very distracted possibly chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic places, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the puppy moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her in various scenarios. 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 aiming to teach a dog how to cope in each new and different setting or situation. We are raising a puppy that isn’t reliant on continual commands that control what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Instead, we want a dog that can make great decisions. Our top goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and refine good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the puppy has been residing with the dog trainer in his/her individual home. Throughout this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another family member or close friend. Giving this opportunity, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in different areas. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he or she goes on to your house in Lower East Side, NY.
