Hyper Dog

     This Behavior Blueprint addresses various behavioral issues, including pups who jump up. Note: Dr. Dunbar, a reward-based trainer whom I highly respect, makes a reference to "The Trainers from the Dark Side" in this article, which I encourage you to take with a grain of salt. Different trainers have different approaches and while I personally am certainly more comfortable with the positive, reward-based, force-free methods of training, I don't see the need to refer to other training methods as "from the Dark Side". Nonetheless, the article offers invaluable tips on managing all that puppy energy! Download HyperDog_1_avl.pdf
