4 Ways To Use Physical Touch To Shape A Dog's Behavior

In this dog training video, we go over the impact that our physical touch has on the behavior of our dog or puppy. We also discuss 4 different types of touches to illustrate this point.

It's important to remember that dogs get better at what they practice. So if we only ever give the puppy excited pets and energy, then we're creating a pattern of excited behavior whenever we're around. But we can change that association, by carefully choosing which types of touch we're using in certain situations. If we're consistent with that, the dog or puppy will start to naturally exhibit those behaviors.
