All Things Pups with Kaelin Munkelwitz

In this clip, I discuss the processes of desensitization and counter conditioning to help a couple solve their dog's reactivity to noises. In essence, counter conditioning means training a dog to display a behavior that is different than his current reaction to a stimulus. Desensitization is the process of exposing the dog to a stimulus beginning at a very low intensity. These processes can seem confusing at times so check out my book and my Instagram for more information

Pulling on the leash is a very common issue I come across with my clients. In fact, I see this issue ALL the time as I am just walking down the street!

Mouthing (which includes nipping and biting) is a behavior that a majority of puppies exhibit. This behavior comes from a dog's need to chew and not entirely knowing how to control their bite inhibition. The thing is, puppies are not born to know the difference between a chew toy and your hand. Therefore, you have to teach them what is appropriate to chew on and what is not. How do you do this? In this episode, I'm going to share some of my best tips on how to stop this painful behavior!
