In this video, McCann Dogs Instructor Kayl works with Buddy, a 3 lb Papillon puppy, to show you the step-by-step process for safely and effectively stopping nipping in small breed dogs. Learn the "pre-work" exercises you MUST do first, like positive collar grabs and gentle handling games, to build trust before you ever apply a correction. Kayl demonstrates the exact, safe technique to hold a tiny dog and how to calmly hold through a struggle.
