TOP TIPS

Before you start teaching your dog, simply play with her or be part of her favorite activity. This encourages bonding and shows your dog that you are the source of fun. And when it comes to teaching your dog cues, make sure you use humane, fear-free techniques that promote confidence and encourage learning.

• Start socializing your dog as soon as she joins your family. Socialization promotes security and confidence, and dogs that are socially confident feel less need to be aggressive toward people and other animals.

• Give your dog plenty of exercise. Exercise is a powerful stress reliever and helps prevent or modify behaviors such as excessive barking and chewing or stress-related behaviors such as separation anxiety and aggression.

• Exercise your dog’s brain. Using activity toys and playing with your dog provides important mental stimulation and increases the human/animal bond.

• Stay healthy—both of you! You are what you eat, and so is your dog. Your dog’s behavior can be greatly influenced by the food she eats. Avoid cheap brands, and feed your dog a good, healthy diet.
