Canines are pack animals. It is natural
for them to want to be indoors with the family and to be stressed by
isolation. Outdoor dogs are harder to train and have more stress-related
unwanted behaviors. Teach your dog house rules and keep the family
together.
1. It's best to catch Puppy in the
"intention phase" before "the act". There's a one to two second window
where you can interrupt the unwanted behavior (circle and sniff to
potty) with an "Eh eh" or "No!" or pick up the pup, THEN redirect (take
Puppy outdoors) and give a small food treat for behaviors
you DO want (using the potty area.)
2. Don't use a chain saw if you only
need a butter knife when choosing voice tone and volume to
interrupt a behavior.
