Positive reinforcement techniques can be used for disciplining the dog, such as rewarding desirable behaviour with treats and verbal praise. Another method of discipline is to provide a alternative activity, like giving the dog an extra long walk when he's been naughty. Additionally, Ignoring undesirable behaviour works as a form of discipline without any physical contact; by pretending the bad behaviour isn't happening your dog will eventually stop doing it. Last but not least distraction is also powerful tool: By drawing your dogs attention away from something you don’t want them to do, you can redirect them onto a better activity, therefore avoiding trouble behaviours from even starting

It is possible to discipline your dog without physical contact. First, it’s important to give verbal cues such as “no” or “stop”, followed by redirects where you distract the dog with an alternative behavior or command. Positive reinforcement, such as treats or praise when your dog follows the desired behavior, can also be effective. Additionally, establish clear boundaries and an expectations for the pet and consistently enforce those rules with verbal cues and positive reinforcement.
