Encourage Independence

Encourage Independence
As we wrap up Independence Day and are hungover with freedom, A+ Dog Training would like to remind you to give your puppy some time for themselves in their crate. Leave your dog with a stuffed Kong or a chew toy filled with goodies. This will teach your dog that independence is not so bad after all.
 
If they are not being crate trained, the same exercise applies while they Stay on their bed.
Have a more advanced dog? Tell your dog to Stay in their bed while you go to another room for a while. Encouraging independence can build confidence, resolve stress in their life, and help with separation anxiety.
Not working for you? Call A+ Dog Training at 209-985-7898 to observe and give you more of a hands-on approach.
