👇 Training Tip Tuesday! 👇
Last week we talked about not allowing your dog to practise behaviours you don't want.
This can mean keeping your dog on a lead or longline if they chase things; or using a stairgate to keep them away from the front door if they tend to run out or jump up at visitors.😓
This also means it is our job to keep tempting items out of reach of teething puppies, scavenging beagles and labradors, etc. 🐕🐩
We also need to give them plenty of opportunities to chew the "right" things, like toys or healthy chews of various textures; or to ""find" their food by scattering in the grass, on a snuffle mat, or using recycling like toilets rolls, small cardboard boxes, egg cartons, etc; or chase a toy in a controlled game.
These activities are hardwired into their brains and fulfil a basic need, so you will have more success reducing unwanted and potentially dangerous. versions, if you provide safe alternatives. 🤯
