How to establish control over your dog's impulses: a proven technique

Dogs are incredibly popular pets that quickly and easily become important family members. Despite a number of attractive qualities, such as loyalty and affection, some dogs are unable to give up bad habits.

In his Instagram video, behaviorist Will Atherton shared tips on how to establish strong impulse control in your dog.

Teaching dogs to respond to commands is crucial, especially if they are going to accompany you in public places where there will be other people. It is extremely important for dog owners to be able to control their pets and make sure they do not disturb or bother other people.

The essence of the technique offered by the expert is to repeat the command repeatedly until your dog starts to obey it. According to Will, at the beginning of his dog's training, he would order him to "Sit!" but he would run away. Then the dog handler would return the animal to the place where it ran from and repeat the request until it complied.

According to the expert, in order for this technique to work, you should be very patient, but then the result will please you.
