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

Training starts the instant a new puppy is in our care in Trophy Club, Texas. Once we decide on the puppy from the litter, the very first thing we wish 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 pup to its new world. For example, getting him or her to follow us, go up and down stairs, walk over branches, and maybe even get somewhat 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, but still significantly aware in those moments it is essential 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
In 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 methods. Often we take advantage of certain locations or objects to create an encounter for the pup. Occasionally a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Trophy Club, Texas. Our choices and vision are limitless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the previous one. Through all of this, we closely monitor the puppy. We don’t restrict ourselves to inflexible rules. We try to be more creative, think outside the box, and benefit from occasions that unfold before us. Those opportunities are invaluable when it comes to teaching the dog.

Every interaction with the new puppy is a teaching moment. We often think of it as an early investment in the life of this puppy. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and staying with us in Trophy Club, 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 time than any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they experience will have a huge impact on their future personalities and decide much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting stage, every experience is crucial. It is essential 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 puppy.

A Well-Mannered Pal
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained dog 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. Furthermore, desensitization, exposure to various distractions and situations, along with having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Trophy Club, TX  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a dog with impeccable 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 daily routine as well as within each new situation we expose your dog 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 very clear and consistent is key. We restrict our words when providing 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 immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Trophy Club, TX
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 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 puppy will grow out of 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 challenging.

Testing in the Real World in Trophy Club, Texas
We work to stop any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. For example, we practice recalls when your dog is highly distracted possibly chasing something as common as a squirrel. We practice and proof obedience in high traffic spots, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog moves through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting it in various situations. We think of each situation as a picture. How does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture shift from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to adapt in each new and different environment or scenario. We are raising a puppy that isn’t dependent on constant commands that determine what he or she should and should not do. Rather, we prefer a dog that can make great decisions. Our number one goal is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will fit into your home.

We continue to strengthen and fine-tune good manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. Throughout this time, the puppy has been living with the dog trainer in their individual home. During this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or friend. Offering this opportunity, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in brand-new surroundings. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he or she moves in to your house in Trophy Club, TX.
