Stop saying NO!
One of the biggest mistakes that people make when training their dogs is saying NO without giving the dog an explanation of some type.
Dogs, much like children, will become confused with a simple command of NO!
Here’s what you should do instead. If your dog is stealing the cat’s food, tell him NO and then gently guide him to his own food dish.
Or, if your dog is chewing on a table leg tell him NO and give him rawhide or another toy on which he can chew.
Once your dog begins to actually use the new behavior, reward him with treats, toys and praise.
