Dogs always asking the owner to hold them is a sign of lack of security. Generally, this situation mostly occurs during the puppy stage. However, if the dog still behaves this way after growing up, it's not good, and owners often feel overwhelmed. So, how to correct the dog’s habit of always asking to be held?

　　【Training Methods】

　　1. When the dog asks to be held, the owner should keep their body upright, issuing the command “No” while making a downward pushing gesture with their hand.

　　2. Then give the dog the command “sit,” and place toys or items it likes around it to divert its attention.

　　3. If the dog barks after being put down, the owner should scold it loudly or tap its body with newspaper, cushions, etc., to create a sense of fear.

　　4. Repeat this many times so that the dog gradually understands that it can only be held by the owner when it behaves well.

　　【Precautions】

　　Do not often hold the dog in your arms; it should be turned into a reward. But do not use holding as a reward in this training to avoid confusing the dog. (Source: PetsZone)
