For some unknown reason, my dogs understand more of what I want them to do when I reward them for being good, rather than always just trying to discourage the bad behavior. Like if two are just laying together being good, I'll choose that moment to tell them they are good dogs, and stop and pet them or give them a Cheerio or two! (This has worked great with the grandkids too...lol.)
Good idea about rewarding them for good behavior. I've been so preoccupied with monitoring their behavior the past week, that I've forgotten that they're just puppies & they're supposed to be having fun! Thanks
