Fairfax Dog Walking Company Educates On How To Train A Puppy Not To Bite
Fairfax dog-walking company Paw Pals informs readers on how to train a puppy not to bite and includes suggestions on alternative things to chew on.
- (1888PressRelease) August 25, 2020 - Paw Pals, a Fairfax dog walking company, recently shared a blog educating readers on how to train a puppy not to bite, especially after they reach a few months (3-4) of age. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that 1 in 69 people in the United States is bitten by a dog. (Of 4.7 million dog bites every year, 800,000 require medical attention)
The post goes on to note first that it's key to use positive reinforcement with puppies. In other words, they should be lauded whenever they exhibit good behavior (perhaps even offered treats further down the training line). A relatively safe environment (usually indoors) can be another factor that affects a young dog's level of aggressiveness. Conversely, it's crucial to find a stringent voice for when a puppy misbehaves, albeit one that does not make the pet feel abused. Time-out is a method often relied on to help aggressive puppies settle down, as is the use of taste deterrents like perfumes.
The blog also explains how novel toys like balls, plastic bones, and plush animals should be kept within reach, as they can serve as substitutes for limbs, clothing, or anything else a puppy may lean toward chewing on. Puppy owners should also be careful not to use any kind of violence or sudden gestures with their pets, including shoving hands down his or her throat.
