Training & Behavior

Behavior is communication. These guides help you read it and change it gently.

Find the trigger first, then change the pattern.

Scratching is normal maintenance. Give it a better target.

Short, positive exposures beat long, scary ones.

Sometimes normal, sometimes a signal. Learn the difference.

Teach your dog that staying close pays.

Greet with four paws on the floor, every time.

Calm departures, gradual absences, and no punishment.

Start short and indoors. Never punish a slow return.

A safe den, introduced slowly and never used as punishment.
