Episode #223 How Do I Stop My Dog From Pawing My Leg While I'm Eating Dinner?

The Puppy Training Podcast

Tired of your puppy pawing at your legs every time you sit down to eat? In this episode, we dive into why puppies develop this habit and how you might be reinforcing it without even realizing it. More importantly, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step training plan to teach your pup a polite, alternative behavior—like relaxing on a designated mat or holding a down-stay during meals.

With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, you can create a peaceful dining routine for both you and your furry friend. Tune in to learn the best techniques for setting clear boundaries and enjoying stress-free meals with your puppy by your side! 🐶🍽️ #DogTraining #PuppyTips #PositiveReinforcement
