Oops! My Dog Won’t Listen—Now What?

Oops! My Dog Won’t Listen—Now What?

So, you’ve tried saying “no”... a hundred times. And still, your pup is chewing shoes like it’s a hobby. Don’t worry—you’re not alone! Misbehavior is often just misunderstood behavior.


Let’s reframe it and fix it:
• Look at the "why"
Are they bored? Anxious? Hungry? Often, chewing, barking, or digging is their way of telling you something.
• Redirect, Don’t Punish
Instead of yelling, gently interrupt the behavior and offer an alternative: “No couch chewing, here’s your toy!”
• Consistency is Key
Training isn’t magic—it’s habits. Keep commands, routines, and reactions consistent.


✨ Reminder: Your pet isn’t being “bad”—they’re just learning. Patience (and treats) go a long way!
