Jumping

Pups know how to get what they want and jumping is one of the main issues parents have in the beginning. Will they outgrow it? Usually not! And, as your pup gains strength and size, jumping could turn to full-on tackling.

Nipping

Pups need to chew and there is a way to honor that need while also, keeping everyone safe and happy. Redirection and bite inhibition early on is key to preventing the little nips from becoming big bites.

Leash Pulling

Loose leash walking and heel will be your best tool when it comes to your big pup. After-all, A 125 lb dog in a weight pulling competition pulled 3,400 lbs so, its important to be realistic and use leadership vs. force when it comes to handling your strong pup.

Not Coming When Called

A reliable recall could be one of the most life-saving disciplines you and your pup develop! Hopefully your pup won't be in a life or death situation. But even for everyday functioning your pup needs to know that when you call them, you expect them to respond the first time. Trust (not dominance) is the path to this behavior.
