 Let your dog know the correct behavior |

Here's a simple idea that many people seem to forget when training their dogs. When your dog is doing something you don't want him to do, let your dog know what the correct behavior is. For instance if your dog is putting feet on the counter to see what yummy goodies there might be, rather than yell "Get Down", walk into the room and when your dog's feet hit the floor, say "Good Dog" and treat your dog. The idea is to show them the desired behavior, feet on the floor. So often we see people tell their dog what not to do, but never reward them for doing the right thing. Dogs, and people for that matter, need to know when they've done good. Make sure you're letting your dog know at the exact time that the good thing happens. Dog Training Tips |
