Head-start Puppies

The head start program will have clicker training and other positive reinforced training and development for your young puppy. The most critical period in a dog’s life is the first 6 months.

During this period a puppy is the most open to learning. This is when the pup learns the fastest, when he most readily masters new tasks and when he adapts most readily to new environments. Double G Kennels puppy head start program is designed and structured to maximize the opportunity provided by this age period. We give puppies a complete behavior and exposure base to fully prepare them to advance rapidly at being a phenomenal pet!  Puppies in our head-start program will be clicker trained to obey simple commands.  This is all positive reinforcement training using treat, praise, or playtime.

All required vaccinations and worming will be done during this extended time. Pups in head start will stay an additional 4 weeks to  12 weeks of age  at an additional cost of $300 and be better prepared to go home and be potty trained.

Our puppy head start program focuses on 3 basic facets of the learning process:

1.Development of the learning process — Puppies learn and are thoroughly programmed to offer behaviors in order to “buy” rewards, such as treats or playtime.

2.Development of self control— Puppies learn to inhibit and control reactive responses, and to sit quietly in scenarios of great temptation.

3. Programming of the core behavioral skills required for the pups to be great pets. — Puppies are programmed on  socialization to people and other dogs.  The pups are also socialized with children–which generally allows them to develop sound temperaments.  We also work on Bite Inhibition-  training for a “soft mouth.” It teaches your pup to use his mouth gently with people.

All the following  female puppies are available for sale at a price of $1,100 (which includes the training fee and additional cost of vaccinations during their extended stay).

We have four different trainers that work for Double G Kennels. One of the benefits of purchasing a pup from us is an introduction to training that starts with the clicker. Remember to ask for a free clicker with the purchase of your new pup.

Operant conditioning is a scientific term that describes the way animals learn from the consequences of certain behaviors. Positive reinforcement is a type of operant conditioning often used in dog training.
