How to Teach Your Puppy to Make Good Decisions

How to Teach Your Puppy to Make Good Decisions

In this episode, I discuss how to set your puppy up for success by making better decisions to replace unwanted behaviors. 

  • Stop directing them
  • Allow them to decide independently - use leash training for this.
  • Do the chair exercise.
  • Praise them subtly when they make a good decision
  • Target training, light agility training, and dog puzzles.
  • Give them a chance to succeed.
