About the Training
Our Puppy Imprinting program is an excellent way to kickstart your puppy’s training. It provides a nurturing environment that promotes learning and offers essential socialization opportunities, ensuring your puppy grows into a well-mannered dog with a balanced temperament.
We use 100% positive reinforcement methods—a reward based approach that encourages desirable behaviours while gently discouraging the ones you don’t want. Our training is entirely fear and punishment free, with no aversive tools or techniques used.
Duration
Puppy Imprinting is offered in 4, 8 or 12-week packages. The longer your puppy stays, the more effective the training and the better the results.
Expectations
Our focus will be on basic obedience and household manners. Keep in mind that the progress of the training is dependent upon the length of stay.
Your puppy will be introduced to:
Bell training
This is a system to teach your puppy how to signal that they need to go to the bathroom. This method helps instill housetraining, creating the association between the bell and going outside.
Crate training
Crate training does wonders in speeding along the housetraining process. It also teaches your puppy how to be independent and self soothe which, when done properly, helps prevent separation anxiety.
Loose leash walking
Loose leash walking is essential for enjoyable and safe walks. It helps your puppy develop self-control, and prevents strain on their neck from pulling. Your puppy will learn the basics of walking calmly on a leash through targeted exercises.
Recall
A reliable recall is vital for your puppy’s safety. You want to be sure your puppy will come when called, no matter the distraction. During their stay, your puppy will begin recall exercises to build the foundation for reliable responsiveness that you can continue to strengthen over time.
Sit & Down positions
Teaching your puppy to sit and lie down encourages self-control and helps curb undesirable behaviours like jumping. By practicing these positions, your puppy will learn that calm behaviour leads to positive rewards—whether it’s meal time, outdoor play, treats, or their favourite toy.
Reminder
It’s important to remember that every dog is unique, so there’s no way to predict exactly where they will be by the end of training. However, the primary objectives are to introduce basic commands, foster calm and controlled behaviour, and ensure proper socialization. These steps will help set your puppy on the right path toward developing a balanced, healthy temperament.
Our Guarantee
During the Puppy Imprinting program, your puppy will become a beloved member of our family. They’ll live in a home environment where they have plenty of time to play and interact with our dogs, helping them develop important social skills. Your puppy will be exposed to everyday sights, sounds, and experiences, with more freedom than they would have in a traditional kennel setting. We treat each puppy with the same care, love, and attention as we would our own, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well-loved while they’re with us.
