Dog Behavior Problems

Posted by dog training author Daniel on 08-24-2008 Category: dog training category Dog Behavior Comments:

When the owner terms the dog as bad, perhaps they should look at their own behavior. It really gets on your nerves when a dog jumps up to soil whatever you are wearing. This can also happen when the dog next door leaves his tell tale marks on your front yard. Ultimately it is the way you train the dogs because they are only as bad kids who have not been raised very well. What else other than bad behavior can you expect from animals and kids when the concerned adults have no idea what they are supposed to do?

Dogs need to know their limits when inside, outside and in public places. It is wise decision to take the help of a dog trainer to learn the tricks of handling this pet without spoiling its personality. To get to know a good trainer approach your vet or pet store; these trainers often hold private lessons with the pet and the owner but it is just as easy to solve your pet behavior problem by attending any online course on pet management.

Part of this training is to teach the owner how to handle their pet. There is a saying amongst trainers however that it is far easier to train dogs than the people that own them! You want to leash train your dog before you take him out in a park or public but before you do this you must get them accustomed to it first. Barking is often a behavior that distresses owners and neighbors. If you shout or punish your pet for barking it does not serve any purpose - on the contrary it leaves the animal confused.

So why does a dog bark? Well, just like a young child or baby, it needs attention, food or something to drink. Remember burglars get scared when a dog barks; remember this the next time you punish him for barking because it may not be a wise decision. It is not a good idea having your puppy bark, even during play if you are likely too shout at him when he barks as an adult.

You can bring about a change in behavior in your favor by providing the occasional bit of praise and a special treat; which is something the trainer will show you how to achieve. You need to know how to reward your pet so they get the correct message and repeat the desired behavior or cease the less desirable traits. Most important to note: you can not expect a dog to learn certain behaviors which are against his genetic behavioral pattern. To make your pet follow specific behavioral training, you ought to choose one from a breed with can give you what you need. Good dog behavior can be the result of patience, determination and the love you give to the animal.

  1. All dog lovers want the best for their pets (in my own opinion, anyway), and certainly want their dogs to be well-behaved. You want to be able to take them to the park without fear! This is not exactly about training, but I wanted to mention a funny book about dogs, Dog Park Diary. Dog lovers will enjoy this, as it’s told (story and photos alike) from a dog’s point of view. The dog’s concerns are those of a real dog: how things smell, soecial ranking in the pack, etc.

    It’s just a lot of fun.


  2. We got good luck with our dog, who is very well behaved. Unless she sees a rabbit or something then her instinct takes over and all hell breaks loose!
