Dog Training: Does Your Puppy Do This?
Eliminating problem behaviors is something dog owners commonly face. This article will address a few prevalent behavior issues.
Problem #1: Jumping Up on People
A frequent issue is dogs jumping up on people. This behavior often starts innocently; that little 10-pound puppy jumping up can seem adorable. Many owners reinforce this by rewarding the puppy with affection and treats. However, as that puppy grows into a 100-pound dog, the behavior becomes less charming and potentially dangerous.
A large dog jumping can easily knock over a child or an elderly person, which could lead to accidents or even legal issues. It's crucial to teach your puppy that jumping up is unacceptable while they’re still young.
When your puppy tries to jump, gently place their paws back on the ground. Once they’re standing, reward and praise them. Consistency is crucial?"everyone in the family and frequent visitors must follow this rule.
Consistent reinforcement at the puppy’s level helps them understand that keeping four paws on the ground is rewarding.
Problem #2: Pulling and Tugging at the Leash
Many puppies develop the habit of pulling on the leash, often unintentionally encouraged by playful tug-of-war games. A quality body harness can help train or retrain a puppy to stop pulling.
Introduce the harness as you would a regular collar. When walking, use a lure or toy to keep the puppy at your side. A properly fitted training collar can also be beneficial, but it’s essential to ensure it’s neither too tight nor too loose.
Maintain a loose leash while walking. If the puppy starts to pull, quickly change direction before they reach the end of the leash. This keeps the leash slack, with a quick tug only to reverse direction.
Training your puppy to walk correctly while they’re still small is vital, especially for large breeds. Avoid yanking on their neck; gentle, steady pressure works best.
