Compassionate guidance using the Habibi Method's
3 powerful rituals called, "The Power of three"

At Habibi Bears, we understand that the dream of bringing home a puppy can feel like an unattainable task for many families. As exciting as it is to bring home a new puppy, it is a life-changing event. We hear you! There is a big difference between bringing home a puppy that is crate-trained compared to one who wasn't. It's our intention to empower each family to become a confident pack leader with the skills to guide their own puppy-with a little head start from us :) Reach out today to add Pup Start when you are matched to your puppy.

We have created a beautiful routine and schedule that honors our puppies, Montessori style. Your puppy is never pushed too fast or held back, and they come home ready to imprint on YOU! This lifestyle is natural and will create a powerful bond between your family and your puppy. Based on learning to speaking the language of dogs, it's training without training! Your puppy will go home with their new daily schedule that has been structured around their needs being met, (for you to post on the refrigerator for the family!) and a complete guide for you to follow up with at home. This is an invaluable head start for those who feel overwhelmed with the first weeks of crate training and scheduling. Following our relationship-focused program, you will find your stride and create a deep connection with your dog....one that will have life-changing effects on the family. We are so excited to share this with you!

common concerns of new puppy owners

A puppy's first 16 weeks are the most important time to actually be able to condition behaviors, and BOND with your puppy. Your family has a need for a support dog or family pet, but the idea of managing the transitional phase when puppy leaves our home and needs to settle into your routine feels overwhelming! The more you read about what this entails, the more overwhelmed you feel. The late night crying, crate training, house training, chewing and nipping....jumping on your children.....these are all very normal puppy behaviors to expect from your new Habibi Bear, and they are valid fears as a new puppy owner. Especially when you have a child with sensory issues. In your imagination you can see the end result, where your child has the support dog they so desperately long for..... yet, how can you get from point A to Point B with a smoother transition for your child, your puppy and your sanity?

why we developed the habibi method & Pup STart

We love our Habibi Tribe, and wanted to create a community where we cheer each other on through all the ups and downs of puppy raising!
Our families love the connection of live video to establish community, being able to see each other's smiling faces while discussing all things Habibi Bear!
We are more than a breeder, we are raising purpose-bred dogs for purpose led lives - and this journey we are embarking on together lasts a lifetime. We love to provide additional support to our families, beyond Gotcha Day!
Many dogs that are trained traditionally still have behavior issues that their owners struggle with for its lifetime, and need continued support. This is where online puppy training comes in.
Training isn't a one and done, and oftentimes most training methods fail to address the importance of establishing a bond of trust and respect between owner and puppy.
Pushing puppies too fast, too soon can cause burnout and stress for a young puppy. Without relationship building practices...... these methods fail.
An online puppy trainer program that is relationship-based and focuses on establishing the bond between owner and puppy before the obedience training, can provide the most transformational results.
We found giving the puppies a head start on scheduling and crate training in Pup Start, has been the perfect fit for families who value being part of training their puppy and building a bond.
Puppies can easily regress if a family does not follow up with the schedule and rituals we have established - so we created a program to follow up at home to empower YOU to lead with love.
If Habibi Bear puppies are placed with a trainer that doesn't use reward based training and a focus on these important rituals, there could be negative lifelong results.
Mishandled fear phases can create life long behavior issues.
Dogs that are denied socialization during this critical Socialization Period often become unpredictable because they are fearful or aggressive.
Any traumatic, painful or frightening experiences can have a lasting impact.

Why Rituals Matter

During the first 16 weeks of your puppy's life, your puppy will go through two of the most important Socialization Periods and Fear Imprint Periods of their lives! This small window of time closes down after this, so our ability to imprint on our puppies is increased during these first weeks! Our three rituals will create powerful connections between you and your puppy, so you can sail through these phases without setbacks!

The Socialization Phase

Proper socialization is key in raising a well adjusted puppy. The more we raise our puppies the more we see the importance of them being able to learn their social skills from their own kind- dogs! Taking pups away from their litter mates too soon means the humans have more work to do on their end-so we created Pup Start! This is the small window of time where we can imprint on these puppies and create lasting positive experiences, or if mishandled, create lasting fear imprints that stick for its lifetime.

Young puppies have short attention spans and our program respects where they are at and helps you do the same.
Everything learned is permanent and will be resistant to change.
Puppies are eager to learn, their brains are little sponges at this phase.
What they learn now, will be seen as an adult.
Puppy’s temperament and personality become more apparent.
Puppy needs to work on bite inhibition and boundaries, rules and limitations from other dogs and litter mates, WHILE also being properly socialized to humans too. We can do that here!

unit One

Laying the Foundation:
Pup Start Charm School Training : Level 1
This 2-8 week unit is THE most important online puppy training program, as it lays the foundation for all training to build on. Without a solid foundation, training isn’t as successful. Many lifelong behavior problems in older dogs originated during this very formative phase of a puppy's life. Rest assure, your puppy is being handled professionally through the challenging phases and stages with loving guidance!

This program was designed for new puppy owners who want to ensure their puppy doesn’t miss any of the important aspects of proper handling of puppy developmental phases. Your puppy will be going through two fear phases during this time as well as other developmental phases, and they will be professionally managed to set puppy up for success. Your puppy will have a solid working foundation on crate/pen and potty training, leash work, alone time, and household manners.

Consistency and repetition at this level of puppy training is key to success. During these early weeks we establish the bond needed so puppy trusts and wants to 'work' for you! Introducing obedience without the foundation of trust can burn out the puppy. We help puppy choose calm through our three powerful rituals!

One Week: $650
Transitions - House, Pen & Crate training, transitioning to home life- this is the most crucial week for a puppy, and we never push them further than they are ready. Our Schedule for Success is a proven method that has been used for thousands of dogs successfully!

Habibi Method Puppy Planner: Level 1

Puppy has either completed up to 8 weeks of Pup Start and is now ready to join your home! Now it's time to take the reins with our handbook and follow-up calls to guide you. The first eight weeks home, are the most important for properly laying the foundation for all future training. Every week builds sequentially over time as we see reliable responses in the puppies. This 4 week unit expands on the first unit of foundational training by increasing length and focus before receiving their reward. Longer sits, downs and stays. As your puppy's confidence builds we will also be seeing reliable house-training, crate/pen training, and manners.
