How to Prevent Unwanted Puppy Behaviors

How to Prevent Unwanted Puppy Behaviors

In this important episode, I discuss how to prevent unwanted puppy behaviors.

In this important episode, I discuss how to prevent unwanted puppy behaviors.  Follow these steps below. 

  • Do not have the mindset of “fixing” your puppy, they are not broken.
  • Two parts to preventing unwanted behaviors 1) Before the puppy knows they exist, and 2) at the beginning of the act of displaying the unwanted behavior.
  • When my dog Dixie was with me the very first day, I corrected her play biting, jumping, and barking.
  • If your puppy already has the behavior, such as jumping, correct the behavior the moment the puppy begins to do it, not after they have done it a few times.
  • Stop reinforcing unwanted behaviors.
  • Redirect puppy to an alternative behavior
  • Reward the behavior that you want.
