Effectively disciplining your dog starts with positive reinforcement, by rewarding good behavior. As a dog parent, you will have to make sure that your disciplinary techniques are in line with the principle of positive reinforcement. This means you should focus on praising and rewarding good behavior, while using mild correction for bad behavior without causing fear or anxiety. You can also set clear rules and boundaries with your pup, communicate these clearly and consistently using body language such as pointing or showing a treat when referring to the desired behavior. Additionally , redirecting them to more appropriate chewing objects or items is an effective way of disciplining dogs who tend to chew on unsuitable things.

Disciplining a dog effectively can be difficult, but it is important for proper behavior training and to maintain the human-animal bond. Effective discipline should be consistent, firm, and fair. The most successful strategies incorporate positive reinforcement with structure and boundaries. This could include training the dog using cues, routines, commands and rewards; using a consistent tone of voice; providing acceptable alternative behaviors that redirect the unwanted behavior; as well as giving appropriate time outs or creating an area that is not pleasurable for undesired activities such as chewing. Incorporating reward-based punishments can also be effective when consistently applied - this means using something that the animal dislikes to focus on their unwanted behavior.
