The documented imprinting stage for a dog spans the
developmental time frame of six weeks to twenty weeks of
age. The most crucial period is from eight to sixteen weeks
of age. It is critical that the dog be exposed to live
birds, the field, and basic consistent structure and
socialized with other dogs during this period for the dog to
maximize its full potential. When a dog in the imprinting
stage is properly exposed to structure and the elements of
field work he becomes more receptive to learning. Such a dog
will become not only a better companion but also a better
bird dog for the hunter.
A dog that has been exposed to critical environmental
factors during the imprinting stage has a mind that is open
to learning and it is a joy to work with such a dog. We are
dog trainers. Letting us prepare your young dog for his
future training with you and having us take care of the
necessary foundational prerequisites is money well spent. Do
it right from the start. Then spend time with us and
formulate a plan for the direction to take with your dog.
A Stonecreek level I dog will have had a proper introduction
to scores of live birds and has had numbers of
birds shot over him. This dog
demonstrates strong pointing and hunting instincts. He has
traveled, is accustomed to the crate and is well socialized
with dogs and people. The level I dog is ready to graduate
to more advanced stages in training. His program has been an
extensive one involving clicker training, proper
introduction to low level e-collar stimulation, point drills
and field work.
We know how the dog trains. We know the dog is a bird finder
and has strong pointing instincts. The level I dog is a wise
investment and deserves
strong consideration by any owner.
