You can try using positive reinforcement to discipline your dog. That involves rewarding good behavior with treats, attention, or playtime. You can also try using citations to scold your pup without causing any physical harm. These can include vocalizations such as "No" and "Uh-oh," directing the puppy to a designated area if he needs to go potty or removing his favorite toy or treat if he isn't behaving correctly.

When attempting to discipline your dog without leaving any marks, it is important to remain consistent and patient. You should avoid shouting or raising your voice and instead use a calm, yet firm tone. Start by telling him “no” or “stop”, and give him a few seconds to respond before taking further action. If necessary, you can also use an appropriate dog training collar or harness to help remind him of the boundaries you’ve set. Positive reinforcement is also key; be sure to reward good behavior with treats and praise.
