The job of a puppy owner who is training him is to help him understand what is expected of him and what he should not do.

For this purpose, dog trainers advise using “soft” language.

Use sounds and gestures to indicate undesirable behavior. Be careful when scolding your puppy, as if you are being cruel, you risk raising an anxious or even aggressive dog.

Use your voice

Don't yell, but speak calmly and firmly to let your pet know that his behavior is unacceptable.

Be specific

Avoid general comments and instead focus your pet's attention on a specific behavior that needs to be changed, such as telling him not to chew on the furniture.

Distract the puppy

If you see that your dog has started doing something bad, try to make his attention switch to a toy or a given command.

Do not punish your dog physically.

The consequence of such punishment is fear and aggression. Try to focus on positive reinforcement.

For reference

A dog is a domestic animal, one of the most popular (along with a cat) companion animals.
