Puppy Dogs Plus

Is your puppy getting in the way when you walk? Does he keep moving to the wrong side when you walk him on the leash? Did you know that blocking you is his way of getting your attention? It can be cute at first, but it could be hazardous too. What if you trip on him or step on him, you would feel terrible and he could be hurt. So what you need to do is teach him what “Excuse Me” means. So when ever your puppy trips you or gets in your way say “Excuse Me” and move him out of your way with a little shuffling of your feet under his body. Remember don’t yell this or it will frighten him and you can’t train him that way. If you use your hands he will think that it’s play- time. Once you get him moved over don’t forget to praise him. Soon you will see that little face looking up at you with his tail wagging.
