Maximize Your Puppy's Potential

with Kaye Ames

Understanding the Emotional Development Stages of Puppies

Your dog's personality is influenced by two primary factors:  his genetics and his environmental stimuli.  "What the puppy learns at each critical stage of development will shape him into the dog he will be evermore."

 

Genetics are responsible for physical structure, instincts, intelligence, energy level, and a willingness to please you.  The experiences a dog encounters, particularly during the first few months of a puppy's life, become ingrained and have a permanent impact on the dog's future personality and behavior.

 

By understanding the distinct emotional stages of a puppy's development, you can help your puppy grow to reach his full potential.

 

Acquiring a puppy at the right age and providing it with the proper atmosphere during the critical periods of its life, when character and personality are being formed, is the only absolute way that the man/dog relationship, character traits, and trainability can be pre-determined and pre-ordained.

 

  In this seminar students will learn:
  • The sensitive periods in a puppy's emotional and mental development when learning is easier and experiences have a major effect on future behavior

  • What to expect from your puppy at each stage of development

  • How and when  to avoid adverse conditions that can emotionally cripple a dog for life

  • How and when to provide environmental influences that will help your puppy reach his full potential

 

  Make sure your puppy gets off on the right "Paw"!
