spare the rod… 5 effective ways to discipline your dog! ??

everybody loves a floof who’s a lil’ naughty! ??

but coming home to ripped cushions every day or having to apologize to a guest your pet keeps jumping on can’t always be pleasant. disciplining your doggo is important.??

here are 5 effective ways to keep your floof on their goodest behavior:

1. spare the rod. never, ever punish your dog to bring them in line. yelling or getting violent could make your pet naughtier or agitate them. here’s how.??
2. positive reinforcement works! reward your pooch with treats or praise right after they follow command so they can associate both acts & are encouraged to behave well.???
3. start young. begin training your pet as a puppy so they grow into good behaviors. for instance, use these techniques to curb unnecessary biting tendencies.???
4. be consistent with training. don’t reward good behavior one day & ignore it the next. it will only confuse your pet. practice reinforcement every time.?
5. redirecting focus. we’ve all done this one — draw your dog’s attention away from unwanted behaviors by distracting them with a treat or toy. (note: this is not a permanent fix.)?

for being the good boy/gal that they are, your floof deserves to be rewarded with the tastiest treats! ?? try pawfectly made’s organic, crunchy treatos now:
