Puppy Behavior Problems: How To Discipline A Puppy

Are you the proud parent of an adorable little puppy? This is a new realm for you and you’re probably unsure what normal puppy behavior should look like. Puppies (like people) obtain bad habits by being given love and affection constantly, which they need, but can also keep them from learning good habits. Similar to a baby when she cries, she may need feeding or changed, but other times she may just want to be held. Which makes you feel great, but doesn’t always help your baby grow and become social with other people. Puppies are no different and need to learn how to behave properly so they can grow into the great dogs we know they can be!

Best Dog Car Barrier: For SUVs, Back Seats, Front Seats, Trucks & More

Does your dog like to explore the vehicle while driving down the road? Your pup probably starts in the back seat, then meanders to the front seat with you (making sure to whack you in the face with his tail), then wanders to the back and continues this pattern until you reach your destination. Even though it’s nice to have your pet play co-pilot, it isn’t safe for either of you. We know your dog doesn’t mean any harm, and that he’s just so excited to be on the road with you. However, this constant movement can be dangerous for you, your pup, and other drivers on the road because you could get distracted. A car pet barrier could be the solution you’ve been looking for to help keep everyone safe.
