Addressing Common Puppy Behavior Issues
If you've ever had a puppy, you're likely familiar with the challenges of managing certain behaviors. Addressing these early on is far more effective than trying to correct them in adulthood.
Jumping Up on People
One frequent issue is how puppies often jump up on people. While it might be endearing when they're small, this behavior can become problematic as they grow. A large dog jumping on a child or an adult can be dangerous.
To curb this habit, gently place your puppy back on the ground each time they jump up. Praise them when they remain calm, reinforcing the desired behavior. Offer an alternative, like teaching them to give their paw, to positively grab your attention.
Leash Training
Another critical behavior to address early is leash pulling. Teaching a 10-pound puppy not to pull is much easier than restraining a 100-pound dog. Start by training them to walk by your side with a loose leash instead of pulling ahead.
Using a head collar or training collar can be helpful. Begin by walking, and if your puppy charges ahead, change direction. Allow slack in the leash once they follow you. Avoid pulling back, as this may send the wrong message.
After mastering the heel command, you can advance to more complex training.
By tackling these behaviors early, you'll set a solid foundation for a well-behaved companion.
