Provide designated chew toys whenever you notice inappropriate nibbling and praise chosen appropriate items.
Redirect Chewing
Refuse rewarding begging by ignoring it, praising calmness under the table, crating during meals or requiring a sit staying out of range first.
Anti-Begging Strategies
Stop or change directions whenever leash tightens, reward side-by-side positioning to teach no pulling.
Loose Leash Walking Methods
Use treats, toys and praise to reinforce brave behavior for anxious dogs, sub-threshold exposures for fearful dogs.
Confidence Building
Practice stay, leave it and focus commands, increasing criteria slowly in distraction levels for dogs lacking.
Impulse Control Training
Rule out medical causes first, restrict access when gone, reward potties outside, wash all accident sites thoroughly to address inappropriate eliminations.
Potty Schedule Adjustments
Use baby gates, place on leash, crate when unattended, muzzle if necessary and consult trainer for aggression.
Careful Management
