At 6 weeks old puppies individual temperaments begin emerging and we begin taking notes. We notice when they make eye contact, play by him/herself, problem solve, and if they have a high prey drive. We continue to show them that all environments and situations are safe. We let the puppy problem solve. Puppies are born with instinctive traits we cannot change such as energy level, assertiveness, tenderheartedness, to name a few however we still have the ability to adjust some traits like confidence, motivation , drive and sight and sound sensitivity. For each situation that causes fear, we work on that but start with exposure at a lesser degree than what caused the initial fear and build from there. We expose our puppies to a healthy, reliable friendly, neutral dog. We want to further reinforce that dogs ar friendly.
