subject: Dog Behaviour Problems [print this page] A dog's behavioural problems may arise from a whole manner of possibilites,however the onus of getting rid of them falls upon the owner for the safety of themselves, the public and ultimately the dog. Proper correction of a dog's behavioural problems may in fact save the dogs life - so it's important to take action!
Let's first focus on potential problems you may be experiencing from your dog:
Biting/Chewing
Excessive Barking
Toilet Problems
Disobedience
Aggressive Behaviour
The good news is these are all curable! And with a little bit of patience and commitment from you, you can develop a more rewarding relationship from your dog.
For a dog to be correctly trained it needs boundaries and guidance from you. A dog must realise he is a guest in your house and that you are the master/dominant figure and that you command respect. For you to be most effective its important to remember:
To be assertive in your tone and manner but not aggressive.
Be consistent in your approach and try to get others involved with the dog to follow the same principles.
Never hit the dog, it can be damaging physically and mentally.
Always encourage behaviour you approve of. Offer praise and treats.
Offer leadership not dominance.
Never leave an untrained puppy alone - it will follow its instincts and do unwanted things around your house!
