Dog breeders are not all alike...
We raise our puppies in large areas - they run and play and are NEVER on wire. My adult dogs get lots of love and attention and really enjoy running in the yard.
Please, be careful of where you buy your dog, do not support puppy mills. Make sure you buy from someone who can show you your puppies' parents. If you cannot find what you want here, I'll be glad to help you find a puppy from a reputable breeder! Thank you!

I'd love to hear from you!  Call me at 417-827-5203 or shoot me an email!  -Robin

I really mean it! Our kids love everyone of them!

     The Papillon is a small, friendly, elegant Toy dog of fine-boned structure, light, dainty and of lively action.

     Papillons are a great little guard dog, warning of strangers, but not biting.  They enjoy the entire family, not limiting themselves to one person. 
 
     They are distinguished from other breeds by their beautiful, butterfly-like ears. Papillons are very devoted to their masters, with a hearty spirit making them desirable for show or companionship.
 
     Papillons are hardy and usually long lived. They adapt to almost any climate and are comfortable in an apartment as well as the country. They are good travelers. They love to be with their family. They are friendly, happy and eager to please.

Dog Training - Timing Is Essential

Good timing for discipline is critical. If you react to a dog's behavior, he doesnt learn appropriate behavior.

Conversely, influencing a dog's decision process before he acts is proven training technique. When timing is correct, uncertainty is diminished and drive is rewarded.
Also, by affecting the internal emotional process, the dog "chooses" his behavior. A dog with this training will be consistent even if his handler isn't nearby.

The key to proper timing is not speed, although that does help. The key is anticipation. A skilled handler can anticipate what the dog will do next. It is a skill learned by paying close attention to each dog. Without appropriate timing, training becomes at test of will.

A focused handler will sense the dog's patterns and be able to anticipate the dogs behavior. Then, the handler can take steps to counter what the dog will do. While the dog may think he is choosing to obey, the handler has controlled his emotional process and thereby the dogs behavior.

For example, if you want your dog to heel, you should pay attention to his head. When you sense his attention shifting, yank on his collar and praise him concurrently. Additionally, speed up and throw him ball or give him a treat.

This does not correct the dogs disobedience; rather, it eliminates the dogs impending nervousness that will disrupt his focus on the task at hand. The praise, food, and the ball become stimulation. Because this positive energy comes from the handler, the dog's calm focus is renewed and reinforced.

To illustrate the importance of timing, consider the following. Suppose you were an expert helping someone recover from alcoholism. When should this person's pattern be influenced - before or after he decided to have a drink? This scenario is valid for the dog trainer: Is it better to react to a dog's behavior or to preempt negative actions and encourage the dog to behave appropriately? Why wait?
