Who else has a firecracker of a dog? 🧨
The wee foster is definitely getting more confident and with that more cheeky. In a fun way!
But you probably don’t want your dog jumping on the table or up at the kitchen bench hey?
You still want your dog’s fun personality, but maybe with just a little less sass!
The solution is simple, though we can sometimes forget because life is busy and your mind is already occupied with work, home life and trying to also take care of yourself and remember to eat and hydrate too!
So let’s make the dog stuff easier for you.
1. PREVENT your dog from doing naughty things. That might mean crates, pens, leashes or just closing the door so they can’t make mischief.
2. TEACH your dog what to do instead. We’re teaching Mav here that his bed is a good place to rest, much better than the kitchen table in fact. 😂
And no matter what you do, don’t keep repeating NO from a far without showing your dog what to do instead.
Do you have a nightmare dog? (puppy, teen and adolescent dog owners I’m looking at you! This is the prime time for cheeky behaviours to be born!)
Did you know you can work on teaching your dog to settle at home, to focus on you at home AND out in public and finally start enjoying your dog more through working with me in a 90 day 1:1 coaching program? Comment 90 if you want to find out how to work with me 1:1.
What’s holding you back from actually enjoying quiet evenings with your dog after stress free walks?
