A month after the arrival of your angelic and winsome Puggle, it has adopted irritating behavior such as jumping on the furniture and refusing to budge, or coming to you and repeatedly insisting on play or some petting. Other things it may do is an abnormal guarding of its toys, or to ignore repeated calls to come. Indeed, the indicator is when there’s no denying your dog needs puggle training!

Worse, your puggle is into what most owners call exclusive “Puggle things,” such as taking off with things from around the house and chewing on them.

Puggle training to help the dog’s personality to shape up and help it to be the family pet it is capable of being. The first thing you need to do is to bring the dog to the level where everybody in your house (including you) makes decisions and act, and it would be at the level of “nothing in life is free.”~But this is no catastrophe; it may simply mean that its high time you stop being a passive dog owner, and instead be a more pro-active one.

Far from being like a magic bullet that will instantly rid your dog of a stubborn behavior issue, NILIF is simply a canine approach to living in a pack (or home) that fosters a better behavior and disposition in the long run. The approach relies on the idea that you are firm and consistent in asserting your authority, that the dog will eventually trust and accept you as its leader, and that it accepts being a participative member of the family.

To teach your dog about NILIF, start first with positive reinforcement methods to teach your dog a few commands and-or tricks. Examples of good commands are “Sit,” “Down,” and “Stay”. When your dog has a good grasp of some basic commands, start NILIF. The idea behind it all is that before you give your dog something that it enjoys (a food, a treat, a walk or some petting), it needs to perform one of the commands you taught it.

Thus, when it comes to a dog walk, the dog needs to be calmly sitting down before you put the leash. When it comes to a meal, the dog needs to lie down and stay before you set down the dog bowl.

Once you’ve given the command, don’t give your dog what he wants until he does what you want. If your dog refuses to obey the command, walk away, come back a few minutes later, and just be patient.
