Episode Details

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.
