Our Puppy Headstart Program is the first of its kind in Connecticut.
We educate owners understand how the puppy thinks, why
they do what they do, how to modify behaviors and more importantly
how to prevent unwanted behaviors. Puppies that mature in a limited environment
may have difficulty handling new situations, so it is essential that you
begin teaching at an early age. They need to learn about noisy vacuum sweepers,
car rides, bicycles, motorcycles and much, much more. If a puppy does not
get an early opportunity to learn about all of the stimuli that will be a part of
their environment, they may grow up to be a fearful, anxious adults. Problems
can usually be prevented through repeated exposure to various situations,
provided there is nothing unpleasant associated with them. Regular and frequent
supervised exposure of your puppy to a variety of sights, sounds, odors,
and circumstances can help prevent timidity and build confidence.
It is imperative you think of your puppy as having a behaviorally
'clean slate'. It is your responsibility what 'life experiences' your puppy
receives.
I can not say enough about puppies and their foundation. Just think of
your new puppy as a behavioral blank slate. When owners are educated
in behavior, shaping, modifying, utilizing your puppy's critical
socialization period, preventing behavior problems, instilling good
manners, you are very likely to end up with a well-behaved, sociable,
emotionally stable member of your family. Remember, you are in charge
of how this puppy will grow. Make sure they have the right
HEADSTART .
Each pup is different in its own unique way. You may have seven puppies
from the same litter, same mother and father and all puppies will be
different. Each pup has their own breed specific and gender specific
tendencies. Canine Cadre, behavior modifiers, have a hugh advantage
in that we delve deeper into the psyche of the canine and ascertain why
they have certain behaviors and teach you how to modify them. Such as:
- Natural bonding techniques;
- How to recognize and prevent behavior problems;
- Introduction to language and simple commands;
- House training and basic manners;
- Why socialization is important;
- Proper socialization techniques;
- Understanding developmental stages of your puppy;
- Proper physical care and diseases;
- Introduction to pet first aid;
- much more....
Getting the best possible HEADSTART for you and your
puppy and doing this right the first time will be the difference between
a well behaved house pet or giving up your pet. We see this situation
everyday.
Remember, it is by far, much easier to prevent behavior problems than
have to correct them!

none in the area.
