These things will require repetition, and should be taught as fun opportunities for your dog to get treats, praise, etc. Eventually your dog will develop these good behaviors as habits.
Also keep in mind that depending on her age, your puppy's teeth may be driving her CRAZY, and she will be obsessed with chewing. If you do a search on this forum, you will find a ton of good advice on how to stop destructive chewing.
Hope that helps. |
I would not want to see a dog cower and place her tail between her legs. |
