What is the best way to train and discipline your dog?
First, stop your dog in the act of whatever he’s doing, then give him a different, pet parent-approved option. For example, if you walk into a room and notice him chewing your shoes or hairbrush, swiftly tell him “No!” and take the item out of his mouth. Once your dog is calm, present him with an actual chew toy.
