Redirect, Don’t Say No

Telling your dog no actually confuses them because it doesn't explain what they should

do instead. Dogs don't speak human language, so a simple no leaves them guessing.

The solution is redirection. When your dog jumps on guests, instead of saying

no, ask them to sit and reward that behavior. When they chew your

shoes, redirect them to their toy and praise them. You're teaching

the alternative action you want while building positive associations. This method speeds

up learning because your dog understands exactly what earns them rewards. Stop telling them

what not to do and start showing them what to do.
