COACHING CANINE COMPANIONS’ PUPPY ENRICHMENT TRAINING
It is important that your little furry friend starts their puppy training as soon as they turn two months old.
Remember that punishment doesn't work on puppies. It may give you short-term results, but it will make your puppy fear you or become aggressive in the long term.
We Master Puppy Training
If you have a puppy in your home, there may be a few behaviors that you just can’t tolerate, no matter how much you love your little fur baby.
When they turn 8 weeks old, your puppy will be excitable, hard to manage. However, that is all normal puppy behavior. At this stage, you need to start their "Enrichment" training.
Puppy Enrichment Training
For Puppies Between the Ages of 8-Weeks & 20 Weeks.
At Coaching Canine Companions, we understand that there's more to training a pup than just learning basic commands. We specialize in helping dogs overcome fears and phobias before they become behavior issues. Our experienced trainers are passionate about creating a safe, positive environment for your pup to learn and blossom.
We provide individualized lessons that take into account the age, breed and personality of your dog. Our mission is to make sure your pup is confident, happy and ready to take on the world. Visit us today to get started on the path to a better behaved pup.
Creating Puppy Companions
Our process
-
The Power of Reward
Using positive re-enforcement methods lays at the core foundation of all puppy training. Physical punishment is just a bad idea – as has been shown by science.
Options:
-
Verbal praise and body language
-
Toys and play
-
Whole food treats
-
Body language and cuddles
-
Distract - Remove and Replace
When your puppy is engaging in unwanted behaviors – like chewing your sox
-
Distract him from the item
-
Remove the item
-
Replace it with one of his favorite toys
-
Behavior Shaping
When Fido is doing anything that you like – relaxing in your lap; quietly chewing his toy; expressing curiosity… softly praise him to let him know that he is doing so wonderfully. In this way, you both grow to know and experience a true bond.
-
Understanding Cause & Effect
All pups either want to get what they want - fun, or eliminate what they don’t want – unfun. It is a simple black and white world in the eyes of pups – there are no grey areas. Therefor, you need not over think things.
* Also, of particular importance is to know when you are human projections are helping or harming your pup.
How Do You Properly Socialize a Pup?
HINT:
It's not what happens in dog parks. It's basically using one or more highly trained dogs for the untrained dog to imitate ~ Cognitive Social Theory.
This is why I use my two advanced, obedience trained dogs (Psychiatric Service Dog Included) as my teaching assistants, within a cognitively enriched environment.
This, alone with K9 energy balancing techniques and Master dog training education provides your dog training experience with one of the quickest, most efficient obedience and behavior training.
At Coaching Canine Companions, we are passionate about helping you properly socialize and train your dog. Our certified trainers have extensive experience in various training methods, including positive reinforcement and behavior training. We strive to ensure that both you and your pup have the best possible experience.
Whether you are looking to teach your dog basic commands, want to reinforce good behavior, or need help with destructive habits, we will work together to create a personalized plan that meets your pup's needs. We look forward to helping you and your four-legged family member become the best of friends.
