The importance of practicing impulse control with things your dog doesn't have permission to take. Here's a great explanation and demo to piggy-back our video from yesterday! • • • • #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogbehaviour #positivetraining #dogsofinstagram #puppytraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtraining101 #obedience #dogtrainingNJ #dogtrainerNJ | Kathy Santo Dog Training

Impulse control exercise! Is your dog easily over-excited while out in public? Try playing with them at home and practicing already-known simple behaviors throughout play. This can help them practice feeling very excited, but then being able to calm down enough to re-focus before being rewarded. These small steps can lead up to helping big behaviors like barking and lunging on walks. Consistency and practice are key. #practice #consistency #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dog #americanbully #bully #pla
