#134 – The Golden Ticket to Puppy Success

The Golden Ticket to Puppy Success: Habibi Bear’s Formula for Thriving Puppies

Imagine being told your child is a genius, destined for greatness. The potential is there, but without structure, consistency, and the right guidance, that potential fades. The same applies to your Habibi Bear puppy. These exceptional dogs are bred with purpose and care, designed to thrive as loving companions, therapy dogs, or service animals. But their success depends on your commitment to nurturing their early development.

Here’s how we help you unlock your puppy’s full potential and ensure they flourish in your home.

 

But life is overwhelming and you are super busy, so you let your child stay up until midnight and skip more than a few mornings at school. Their attendance is sketchy and haphazard. As such, they miss a lot of basics, like reading, writing, and mathematics. Their foundation and potential becomes shaky. Life is kicking your butt, and some days you let your child stay home and binge watch Disney Plus all day long because it is easy to do. If you are really busy, you DoorDash fast food and Mountain Dew for dinner and don’t check to see if your child has brushed their teeth because you have a million other things to do. Time goes by so fast, and before you know it three years have passed and things haven’t improved. Life is more hectic than ever and your child is fast approaching adolescence. Their grades are awful and the potential that had been predicted for them is becoming an unrealistic, impossible dream. 

 

We do the preparation…

At this point, you are probably wondering why in the dickens are we talking about this circumstance in a dog blog? Well, here at Habibi Bears, our precious Habibi Bear puppies are born and purposely bred with the stellar potential to be therapy or service dogs. From the moment they come into the world, our little Habibi Bear guys and gals are totally immersed in an environment conducive to stimulating their intelligence and enriching their senses. We keep them on a feeding, sleep and play schedule to give them structure and consistency. When we give puppies a world they can predict, we provide them with security and foster confidence. We do everything in our power so that your Habibi Bear puppy, like a genius child, is ready, with your guidance and love, to conquer the world and become whatever type of dog you need them to be, be it a pet or service animal. 

 

So you can reap the rewards

All you have to do to make sure your Habibi Bear puppy gets to metaphorical Harvard Medical School to become a whiz-kid surgeon are the following things:

  1. Read the entire Take Home / Preparing for Puppy Packet and take advantage of our years of experience of transitioning puppies from one home to another. 
  2. Set up your Success Station in your home. Have your Habibi Bear puppy’s living area established a few days ahead of their arrival so you can see if it works for your home layout. This lets you see if it is spatially practical before puppy’s arrival, then you can make adjustments easily without causing serious confusion or change for your brand new puppy. 
  3. Use our Awesome Tracker provided to maintain the schedule we give you when you receive your Habibi Bear puppy. If you need to adjust the schedule to your household, use our Transitioning schedule to gently acclimate your puppy to any feeding time change. 
  4. Take advantage of our groundbreaking “Human’s Guide to the Dog Galaxy” course, which provides you everything you will need to cultivate a deep and lasting bond with your Habibi Bear puppy. Bonding is the practical magic that allows your Habibi Bear puppy to go from mere pupil to Doggie Einstein.

And the number one most important thing is…..drum roll please!

Maintain communication with our Habibi Bear Team in a timely manner whenever issues arise. Procrastination is the enemy here when it comes to solving whatever problems develop. Believe us, there isn’t anything we haven’t heard! We are here to help with puppy – parent miscommunications and crossed wires.

What is a Habibi Bear?

The Habibi Bear is its own breed of dog, purposefully cultivated to be the best of a variety of different breeds, all selected for their unique traits and characteristics. The goal in developing the Habibi Bear was to take temperament of wonderful dogs like the cavalier, who are known for their sweet and gentle temperaments, but also known for their health concerns, and find a way, through hybridization, to great a dog who retained the cavalier temperament, but without the health concerns.
