By encouraging them to interact with a simple box, I teach body awareness and rear-end pivoting naturally. It builds their confidence and helps them understand commands without any pressure, making early training a game rather than a chore. Starting early is the best investment you can make for a happy life with your dog. The first few months are critical for development, and I focus on creating a 'learning to learn' mindset. We aren't just teaching 'sit' or 'down'; we are teaching your puppy how to focus on you, even when the environment gets busy. ### The Puppy Foundation Program My puppy program is structured into a 10-12 session cycle covering the essentials that every owner in Delhi NCR needs. We use positive reinforcement—lots of 'Shabash!' and 'Good boy!'—to keep motivation high. * **Crate Confidence:** I teach puppies to see their crate as a safe den, preventing separation anxiety later on. * **Potty Protocols:** We set up a clear schedule and spot identification to eliminate accidents early on. * **Bite Inhibition:** Puppies naturally nip and mouth. I teach techniques to redirect this behavior so your hands and clothing stay safe. * **Impulse Control:** We start teaching them to wait for food and remain calm at thresholds, like doors, which saves a lot of frustration as they grow bigger. * **Socialization & Exposure:** It’s not just about meeting other dogs; it's about neutral exposure to different textures, tiles, grass, and concrete. This builds a stable, non-reactive temperament. My goal is to give you the skills to communicate clearly. You’ll be doing the training, and I’ll be showing you the path. Whether it's a Labrador, GSD, or a Malinois, the language of 'Good boy' remains the same. ## About The Gaurav Dog Trainer I’m Gaurav.
