But one thing the I never, never do with my dogs is use baby talk !! It can hype them up and cause major issues down the line. LIke jumping uncontrollably to gain your attention and the whole excitement peeing thing. The way you greet your dog at the door or when you take them out of their cage can have a negative affect on their behavior. Just keep that in mind when you are training you little one. |
thank you, can you expand upon how to greet or leave your dog? i know when i get home we are both so excited to see oen another, but when i leave i kind of just slowly leave and dont make it a huge production. do yous uggest NOT making a big dela when you arrive after the long day apart?
