Using Toys To Assist Training

There are lots of dog toys you can use to correct puppy behavior problems like destructive chewing. In order to prevent “boredom,” I suggest that you purchase an assortment of chew toys. If you notice your puppy starting to chew on furniture or other household items, issue a firm “NO” and then redirect your puppy’s attention to one of their chew toys. Your dog will quickly understand that there are things meant for chewing and others that are not. One very important reminder is for you to refrain from yelling at your dog or resorting to physical punishment. Your goal is to eliminate puppy behavior problems. Physical punishment simply increases negative behavior. Your dog will soon see you as the source of pain and start exhibiting the bad behavior only when you’re not around rather than refraining from that behavior altogether.
