Training a dog is hard work! Whether you just adopted a new puppy, a rescue, or senior, or have had a dog for quite some time, our dogs will get into things we don’t want them to, have accidents, regress in training, bark, pull, bite, and so much more! And there are so many questions we see pup parents ask on a regular basis. Questions like, “How should I react to a potty accident?” “What should I do when my dog bites me?” And, “How do I redirect my dog?” Among many others.
In this series we will be taking a journey with Trevor Smith’s new dog, Bolt. Trevor has attached a camera to his chest, to catch his dog Bolt in action, doing some good… and some not so good things. Things like potty accidents, jumping up on people, counter surfing (and sneaking some food), biting, and more. All so you can see what to do at the exact moment that something happens.
