Should you punish your puppy for accidents, chewing, biting, or jumping? In this episode of Puppy Talk Podcast, Dale Buchanan explains why punishment often creates confusion and fear instead of teaching puppies what we want them to do. You'll learn why puppies make mistakes, how they learn best, and practical positive reinforcement strategies that build trust, confidence, and better behavior. If you're raising a puppy and want effective, humane training methods, this episode is for you.
