Start with positive reinforcement: offering treats when your dog follows commands, such as sit and stay. Offer praise and rewards for good behavior and make sure to be consistent with your training. When your dog misbehaves, firmly tell him “no” and redirect his attention to something else. If needed, you can also use a few drops of citronella oil on a cloth to deter bad behaviors. Lastly, make sure that you exercise your pup regularly; this will help reduce restlessness and energy that could result in mischief!

When it comes to mischievous dogs, it's important to set clear boundaries and establish consistent consequences. Whenever possible, it's ideal to prevent problems before they start by providing suitable alternatives for your dog to chew on and plenty of exercise in different environments. To discipline an mischievous dog you must first remain calm, assertive, yet firm whenever you correct your dog’s behavior. If necessary, you can use appropriate pet correctives such as spray bottle or bell with some dogs when needed. Time-outs are also effective when used properly. With persistent training a mischievous dog can become an obedient one so don’t give up!
