Sometimes we get so caught up trying to train our dogs, that we forget that we are training them 24 hrs per day anyway. There are all kinds of things that your dog finds rewarding besides food and toys. Not using those things to your advantage is a missed opportunity. Next time your dog nudges you to pet it, ask it to sit or lie down first. If it doesn't, simply ignore it or walk away. If it wants to go outside, ask for another sit or down, when it complies, let it out. |



If you have a new puppy, or an older puppy, or planning on getting a puppy this article is for you.
