Trouble-shooting (chewing, biting, toilet training, jumping and other destructive behaviours)
Description
Most troubleshooting problems are not a problem to the dog as they are normal dog behaviours we just need to redirect to a more healthy outlet or version of the behaviour. This module will cover and give you guidance on how to handle chewing, destructive behaviour, teething, successful toilet training, jumping and encouraging separation tolerance.
This section features expert‑written articles and guidance from ABT‑Plus founders and trainers, offering insights into topics like behavioural challenges, owner mindset, and when to seek professional help. These contributions come from educators such as Amy Van Dyk and her team of Dog Behavioural Trainers.
