- Finding the right Dog for you
- What is your lifestyle? Active, non-active, long work days, do you stay at home, kids, yard, house, apartment. Do your research on the breed or if a rescue the dominant breed in the mix. This will prepare you for certain characteristics, and traits to expect from particular breeds and can help you to identify the breed that will most appropriately fit your lifestyle. After all you are selecting a new member of your family and knowing what you are getting is key in finding the perfect match for you.
- Owner TrainingIt is so important to modify the training for the family, with training it is crucial for commands to be consistent, learning is going to be simplified when there is a structured routine that everyone follows, for example when you are teaching your child to read you do not teach them several different ways, you follow a strict regimen thus allowing your dog to better understand and increase his ability to excel. Our training programs focus highly on training the owner, a professional trainer can easily get your dog to work, the trick is getting your dog to work for you. Our programs are fun and focus intensely on establishing respect from your dog, you MUST become the pack leader and this is where we step in to create a synchronized understanding between you and your dog. This.
- PuppyAt 8-10 wks old your dog has cognative learning capacity can begin potty, chewing, nipping training, and how to prevent such habits at early age.... You are establishing the leader role as the puppy's mother would do. Main reason why puppies nip and chew is because they are teething and discovering the world as they know it with their mouths, they do not have hands, this is their way of discovering, exploring their environment, however you are able to create boundaries for them being the pack leader every puppy is different and all training needs to be modified to fit specific needs. This is comparable to every child being an individual, so is your puppy.
- ObedienceBest age to begin obedience training is 12 wks of age, at this point your dog can recognize basic commands...It is also never too late to train an older dog. Teach the dog the right way before the dog learns the wrong way (ex.) Teaching a kid at a young age vs. teaching a child at an older age. Start the foundation of basic obedience so that owner can become pack leader from the beginning. Basic obedience commands include sit, stay, heal, down and come on leash. You must train on leash before training off leash. The reason for this is on leash basic commands is the first building block of the training pyramid. Your dogs only desire is to please you, your dog WANTS to work for you obedience training is a job for him and excelling at this is stimulating his mind and building his confidence, resulting in a happy, healthy dog from early age. There are 100 different ways to train dogs as well as their owners. It is Five Stars way to pinpoint which training methods will best suit you and your family.
