Picking up your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the moment a new puppy is in our hands in Coppell, Texas. Once we decide on the puppy from the litter, the first thing we want to accomplish is developing confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We start our relationship having fun while 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 branches, and maybe even get somewhat close to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your dog to the world while reinforcing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still significantly aware in those moments it is imperative to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy discovers this new world without the companionship of its litter mates or mom.

Crucial 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 will incorporate into our strategies. Frequently we take advantage of certain areas or objects to create an experience for the pup. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Coppell, Texas. Our decisions and creativity are unlimited. Every exposure and experience builds on the previous one. Through all of this, we carefully monitor the puppy. We do not confine ourselves to stiff rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and make use of activities 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 about 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 Coppell, Texas. 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 experience will have a substantial effect on their future personalities and decide much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. During the course of the imprinting phase, every experience is important. 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 need to stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new dog.

A Well-Mannered Puppy
4 to 6 months 

A trained puppy 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 paramount. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, in addition to having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Coppell, TX  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 fine-tune the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a regular request in our daily 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 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 mean 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 Coppell, TX
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 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 picture. Many owners hope their canine will outgrow undesirable 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 challenging.

Testing in the Real World in Coppell, Texas
We work to prevent any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction areas. For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is extremely distracted maybe chasing something as common as a squirrel. We test and proof obedience in high traffic areas, 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 him or her in various situations. We think of each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the dog? How does that picture change from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to adapt in every new and different setting or situation. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on continuous commands that dictate what he or she should and shouldn’t do. Rather, we prefer a dog that can make good decisions. Our main goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and improve manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the puppy has been living 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 friend. Offering this opportunity, encourages your dog to continue to be confident and comfortable in different settings. This ensures those habits and good manners will remain when he or she moves in to your home in Coppell, TX.
