The family will be taught to address impulse control behaviors as well as establish proper communication with their dog. Dogs are now moving from adolescence to social maturity, which means behaviors that were a nuisance during adolescence may now be more problematic. Training cues taught include: SIT, DOWN, WAIT, RECALLS, LOOSE LEASH WALKING, STAY, LEAVE IT, and SETTLE, and behaviors such as JUMPING, MOUTHING AND CHEWING are addressed.
