Puppy Pounce Class Series

Prevent putting a bubble between you and your dog by naturally bonding with your puppy and building a solid relationship. We all know dogs love us unconditionally. Still, we all try to do things to make them love us. We don’t need to.

You are invited to observe my current groups "in session" to feel if it is the right approach for you and your pup.

 Imagine a young shark tooth puppy loving and trusting you implicitly, because you don’t have to man handle them, confront them, correct them, or get mad at pup for anything. A dog that has never been confronted or corrected is a dog without problem behaviors.

My program does not utilize force or food bribes when teaching skills nor punishment when a dog makes a mistake. Instead humans learn to give their dogs a good education by utilizing play procedures that are fun and effective. Guidance and management tools and techniques are used to prevent mistakes or stop and redirect an undesirable behavior when it does occur, allowing us to harness the power of habitual behavior!

Puppies are little sponges and learn and perform when information is presented correctly!  Also, people need to learn how to manage them properly from the very beginning.  The problem is that too many people who shouldn't have a dog are getting them, that many of the puppy class teachers are not stressing management, and are using old force methods or using nothing but bribes and the babies don't learn the skills, also many people don't want to take the time to teach skills, but don't want to manage puppies either.  

My Innovative approach will prevent the many habitual behavior problems I spend training humans with adult dogs to undo. Unfortunately the majority of my business is solving serious behavior problems with the adult and newly adopted dog. I believe this can be proactively prevented. The global dog community is in a very, very vicious circle of misinformation and superstitious and erroneous beliefs about what the problem really is.  All we can do is keep putting in little plugs of accurate information about behavior, management and training and hope someday there will be enough plugs to turn around the vicious circle.

Preventing problems is much easier than solving them...

Research shows that play fosters impulse control, produces brain-growth factors, and helps create pro-social circuits in the brain. The more our puppies play, not just with other dogs but with their humans the more sociable and balanced they'll be.

Play is also one of the best tools there is for teaching skills. And it's indispensable when solving behavioral problems. Twenty years ago dogs with behavioral problems, such as aggression and separation anxiety, were much less common than they are today. This was especially true in dogs that were raised by their humans from puppy hood on (as opposed to dogs who were rescued from a pound or shelter). What changed?

All the misinformation, unrealistic goals and expectations on poor little dogs that are landing them in shelters.

Train the Human First
Each puppy is different than the next. They are unique individuals. I guide
people to give dog’s accurate information about their behavior which makes
teaching skills much faster and easier.

My approach helps people understand dogs in a new way. You will not need to
struggle with trying to dominate your pup or be his/her "alpha". Instead you will
be taught to focus on providing your pup with Three Golden Gifts: good
guidance, proper management and a good education.

Contact Gina for a complimentary phone consultation and more details on what this program will cover In addition to Play, Play, Play

1. Potty Training: Relief is the most reinforcing phenomena, I will show you
how to harness its power when potty training without using treats, using food when potty training actually causes confusion and other possible negative outcomes.

2. Biting, Nipping, Ambushing and Chewing.

Puppy Energy: We will cover preventing ambushing and give the pup an appropriate outlet for their natural biting behavior.

It is normal for Pup to have a low tactile tolerance because of the
following factors: Stroking is intended to be very stimulating. There is a
difference in reaction to being "petted" as opposed to being "massaged".
Opposition reflex is a necessary survival mechanism.

Introduction to a Leash: Many pups panic when first put on a leash. Panic
is detrimental to your pups development, can harm your later training,
and can permanently damage your long term relationship with your dog. I suggest not putting a leash connected to a flat collar around pups neck, until you talk with me about options of nature. Use a pulling harness only with leash attached to the back for now to get pup from point A to Point B. Or better yet do not walk your pup on leash until you receive accurate information and guidance. Instead take your pup out to a field, school yard or safe empty parking lot and let them run and scavenge and then play hide an seek with your puppy, especially up to age 4 months as this is a natural imprint period and your pup will stick with you.

Introduction to a Crate for confinement when pup is unsupervised Safe,
comfortable confinement is an absolute necessity when your dog cannot
be supervised. It is essential that you teach your pup to sleep in a crate.
One day, you might have to leave your pup at the veterinarian’s office for
surgery, or you might have to fly your dog somewhere, or have some
other type of emergency. If your adult dog panics in a crate, it might
injure itself trying to escape. Imagine the damage if your veterinarian
requires that you confine your dog to a crate for healing an injury, and
your dog refuses to be put in one… that could make the difference
between your dog living or dying. It is important that you teach your pup
to accept a crate as a bedroom, early on, to prepare for later
emergencies and to have a consistent safe place to sleep. Your pup will
voluntarily race into their crate "on cue" from anywhere in the house,
including from outside.

Even humans feel safe in their own bedroom with which they can close the door.
