Addressing Behavioral Challenges

The podcast episode discusses a common behavioral challenge that dog owners face, specifically over-excitement at the door, resource guarding, and a lack of control. The speaker emphasizes the importance of focusing on behavior and relationship rather than just singular training. They highlight the need for dog owners to develop the necessary skills and provide clarity and leadership to address these challenges effectively. The recommendation is to use corrective tools like a star mark plastic pinch collar to stop the undesirable behavior, followed by practicing the place command and stay to establish boundaries and reinforce positive behaviors.
