The Role of Timing 1. Immediate Enforcement:
Correct undesirable behavior immediately to help your dog understand the connection between the action and the consequence. 2. Positive Reinforcement: ● Reward good behavior promptly to reinforce the desired actions. Using Tools to Enforce Rules 1. Leashes and Collars: ● Use a leash to guide and control your dog when enforcing rules. ● Example: Gently guide your dog off the furniture with the leash while giving the command "Off." (Tip: a very thin, short leash is a good thing to have on the dog in the house… this allows you to have more control in situations where the dog needs to be guided away from something unwanted. 2. Crates and Dog Beds: ● Use crates and designated dog beds to establish boundaries. Ensure your dog knows where it is allowed to go.
