Never yell or use your dog's name as punishment. Yelling at your dog does not work because it will just get him more stressed or it will only increase his energy level and how excited he is about the situation. Instead, your Bark Busters dog trainer can teach you how to use a calm yet firm voice to refocus your dog and help teach a desired behavior. Using a physical means to control/correct your dog may cause them to loose trust in hands and therefore become defensive. Never correct them after a bad incident has happened. Refocusing your dog must be immediate, when your dog is thinking about making a mistake, or when he is in the act of unwanted behavior. If they do a good thing and you immediately praise them, they will associate the good behavior with the positive kudos and are more inclined to do it the next time around. Avoid direct eye contact or staring. Use soft eye contact for praise.
