I am proud to announce the release of my new video: "Puppy Biting and Rules of Tug". Puppy biting can be one of the more frustrating and painful puppy behaviors. Puppies normally explore the world with their mouths and don't understand that biting is not an appropriate way to interact with people.

In the video I demonstrate specific strategies to teach a puppy to have a soft mouth and play gently. One strategy shows the proper way to teach a puppy to play tug of war. Playing tug is often misunderstood and many people incorrectly think that it causes aggression. If taught properly, tug is a great way to teach a puppy to have a soft mouth and also tire him out!

The video also contains instructions for teaching a dog to drop objects on cue. This is useful both for playing with a dog as well as for safety measures if a puppy grabs something that might be harmful. This video has over 12 minutes of useful information. As with all the videos, it also includes detailed notes that complement the video information and further explain all of the exercises shown.

You can also explore my other videos including a video that I releases at the beginning of the month: "Off Leash Control - Stop" which is perfect to prepare for dog park romps in the Spring.  

Enjoy the video, and happy training!
