Puppy’s Dream Date: Be Present

Post by: Habibi Bears in All, puppy behavior, Puppy Care, puppy training, pup start, Training Corner

One of your Habibi Bear puppy’s super power is to always be present in the moment and living in the now. They enjoy whatever is offered to them at the and their place in it.  moment, whether it be their breakfast, play time, cuddle time, or walkies.

One gift and treasure that we can share with our loving Habibi Bear guys and gals is to put down our phones and be fully engaged with them on their walkies. Walkies are a time and opportunity to bond more deeply with your dog, and enjoy a mutually beneficial shared experience. 

Walking is a crucial activity for your Habibi Bear dog. It gives them a chance to exercise their primary sense: the sense of smell. Remember for a dog it is the most important sense that they have, it is the sense that is fully functional when they are born, seeing and hearing develop after they are three weeks old. They have 994 million more smell receptors in their nose than humans and can smell things up to 7-12 miles away. Their sense of smell tells them everything they need to know about the world and their place in it. When you are the person who accompanies them on this wondrous journey, it is a memory shared that will be deposited in their little love bank, which will grow daily with each new walk, with interest. What a fantastic return on sharing your time with your puppy. 

Walking also helps burn off extra energy, helps puppy settle easily, and gives you both a chance to practice listening and obeying commands. It is an optimal chance for learning in a positive environment, especially when reinforced with some tasty treats. 
We can recognize the “every-good-thing-in-the-world” formula for your puppy in this equation:

Mom or Dad + treats + smells + walk outside = This is the Best Day of My Life

There are developing new schools of thought that recommend calming an anxious dog by taking them on more smell or scent walks to help them self-soothe. What a simple yet powerful activity to share with your beloved Habibi Bear puppy.

Habibi Bears Owner Adoption Questionnaire


Choosing a dog can be a difficult process, and personality, natural inclinations and gifts has to be taken into consideration.
We want you and your puppy to be a match made in heaven! This is why this Owner Questionnaire has been designed, to help us pair you up with exactly the right puppy for your family.

Can I choose my puppy?  
Ultimately we work together on this process, so we can recommend the best options for your needs.  
Puppies are like babies – they eat, they play and then they spend a lot of time sleeping. In fact, they are very likely to be asleep just when you are trying to decide which one is right for you. Because we raise your puppy as part of our family, we get to see them when they are wide awake and their personality is showing itself. We also keenly observe their behavior, and conduct assessments at such times that help us further understand their character.

How will the Questionnaire help me get the right puppy?
Our assessment records many different traits, reactions and learning/healing style of our puppies so we can get to know who they are and their individual strengths and weaknesses.  Some traits are stable some are changeable, meaning environment plays a huge part.  This can be determined as a puppy, and each temperament has homes and lifestyles that suit them best.  By understanding your home life and family needs, we can match you to the perfect fit!
