TEACH YOUR PUPPY WHEN PLAYTIME IS OVER 🐶
Even when you’re playing with your puppy, they need to understand that you decide when the game stops.
When you’re ready to stop:
☝️ Give one quick snap of your fingers
🗣️ Say “Uh-uh”
☝️ Keep your finger up after the snap
Then stop playing.
The raised finger becomes a clear visual signal that says: “Enough. We’re done.”
Your puppy should learn that when you give that signal, they stop engaging and respect the boundary.
It’s not about yelling or scolding. It’s about teaching your puppy to understand when play starts—and when play ends.
Clear communication. Calm energy. Consistency. 🐾
