Prompt Intervention
After interrupting unwanted chewing, herding children etc. redirect energy into an approved toy or place instead establishing good habits.
Redirection
Caught doing well instead of behaving badly? Immediately praise and reward polite conduct to motivate its repetition.
Incompatible Behavior
For persistent unruliness have dog pause briefly away from action and rewards allowing them reflection time to settle.
Brief Timeout Breaks
Use deeper tones and commands like "Off!" that communicate urgency to deter potential danger reactions like food stealing.
Vary Tone For Meaning
