Struggling with a pup that’s more chaos than cuddle? 🐶👉 Will Atherton, a seasoned dog trainer, shares game-changing tips to turn your four-legged friend into a peaceful companion. Whether they’re chewing up your favourite shoes or startling guests, these three techniques are your ticket to a stress-free home!
1️⃣ Crate Training: Teach your dog to see their crate as a cosy retreat. Some say it’s cruel, but think of it as giving them a room of their own where they can chill and reflect on their boundaries.
2️⃣ Place Training: Take crate training to the next level. Your dog will learn to stay on a designated spot, calmly observing while you host guests without leaping or barking interruptions.
3️⃣ Sit, Stay, Break Drill: Instil discipline by teaching your dog that good manners lead to good things. By waiting calmly, your pup learns to look to you for guidance and reward.
Remember, every dog has its quirks! Some breeds, like the Border Collie, have unique traits that may require extra attention. Their genetic makeup can influence behaviour, so understanding your dog’s breed can make training more effective.
