Why Play Matters for Training

A dog’s gotta learn, but they’ll be far more eager if it feels like a game. Structured play:

• Helps reinforce commands and good behavior.

• Builds confidence in shy or hesitant pups.

• Strengthens the bond between pup and captain.

• Provides mental stimulation, preventin’ boredom and mischief.

With the right mix of fun and discipline, ye’ll have a pup that follows orders like a loyal crew member.

DERRR: A Pirate’s Guide to Trainin’ Yer Pup to Never Bite

Ahoy, mateys! Gather ‘round and learn the secret to keepin’ yer hands safe and yer pup’s bite in check. Our battle-tested training method—DERRR—will have yer four-legged matey choosin’ the toy over yer digits. Here’s how ye do it, step by swashbucklin’ step:

DISTRACT

When ye see yer pup fixin’ to go after yer hands, sound the alarm! Whip out yer NeverBite™—that be the magic tool with a built-in squeaker. The raucous noise and bold design be enough to steal yer pup’s attention away from yer precious mitts.

ENGAGE

Now that yer pup’s focused on the NeverBite™, get in the action! Engage in a hearty bout of play—be it a tug-of-war or a game o’ fetch. This be the time to show ‘em that yer toy is the true prize, not yer hand.

RELEASE

After a rousin’ round of play, give ‘em the signal to let go. Release the toy and toss it a fair distance. This tells yer pup that the toy’s meant for chasin’ and not for nibblin’ on yer fingers.

RETRIEVE

Now, encourage yer pup to retrieve the toy. As they dash after it, they’ll learn that chasin’ the NeverBite™ brings rewards aplenty. This here is the key to replacin’ unwanted nips on yer hand with hearty, healthy play.

REPEAT

Finally, practice makes perfect, me hearties! Repeat this process time and time again until yer pup be so well-trained that they no longer fancy yer hands, and the NeverBite™ becomes their go-to playmate.

Essential Commands to Train Dogs Through Play

1. “Come Aboard” (Recall Training)
Toss yer NeverBite™ training toy a few feet away and call yer pup back before lettin’ ‘em get their reward. Reward ‘em when they return, so they learn that comin’ back is always a good deal!


2. “Drop It, Ye Scallywag” (Drop Command)
Dogs love tuggin’, but teachin’ ‘em to let go is key. Engage in a friendly tug-o-war with a NeverBite™ puppet, then give the command and offer a treat in return for the training toy.


3. “Steady as She Goes” (Impulse Control)
Before ye toss a training toy or give a treat, have yer pup sit and wait. This helps teach patience, makin’ ‘em a well-mannered shipmate.


4. “Find the Treasure” (Scent Work)
Hide yer pup’s favorite NeverBite™ and let ‘em sniff it out! This engages their natural instincts and gives ‘em a challenge.
